Lapland New Forest Closed Down

jasmin · Dec 4th, 2008, 08:36 AM

I've just had a look on netmums and there's a message saying it's been closed down today, but I've not seen any evidence of this from the media. I really hope it's true as it will be easier to get a refund.

Looks like they are just going to move all their junk up to the Midlands.

I hope this bad press doesn't affect Lapland UK in the Kent area.

a source close to the Mears family last night claimed they had no intention of creating a genuinely enjoyable attraction. The source said:
"They planned it all during the summer and went down to visit the site. They are a pair of wheeler-dealers and were really excited because they knew it was going to be a money-spinner."

They kept saying, ‘We’ll just stick a few things in the field, make a load of money and then bolt off. Once we’ve got people inside and they’ve paid their money there’s nothing they can do.’
