5.00Great ride! We had booked in advance and had unfortunately chosen a day where it was actively snowing! The team looked after us so well- including giving some extra layers, some glasses and then some very much appreciated hot chocolates afterwards! Despite the conditions, the ride was a lot of fun, loved the spins and turns! We have three school aged kids, and it was great for them.
