Funderland - Do or Don't

nelly97

Ah, Christmas is over one again. Now on my agenda, Funderland. What do you people out there think of it. I can tell you now, i'm not very happy about this year's one!

The wristband is more expensive but there is less rides AND less time! Power Wave, The Magic Carpet & Shockwave (Big orange coaster) will not be attending.

I love Funderland but it is starting to get crappy as time goes by... So, what do you think of it?

If you wear a cap sitting on top of your head and tuck your tracksuit bottoms into your socks do...if not don't.

Tell me..is this the one night they let you out?

Duff

Do you have a horse outside?

bonerm

Haven't been there since I was about 15. After an afternoon of knacker-drinking a night on those rides is not a good idea.

funderland is just wrong, parents who bring their kids should be charged with child cruelty

Mosney was far better than funderland...

Axe Rake

Stay at home and trip on acid.

Infinite amusement especially with old movies.

Havermeyer

Is funderland still going?

Haven't been there in years - and it was a shíthole back then.

Has it improved?

Badgermonkey

Let me get this straight.

I have to pay to be shouted at and spun upside down by Germans 'til I've no change left in me pockets?

No chance.

Don't do it. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment!

I am just back from it now , trudged over around sixish with the 3 angels ....6 quid to even park the car , i was pale before we ever got near the door ... was ambling along with the smallest one oohing and aaahing at the big wheel when this girl stops me ... do you want these? she says .... what are they ... i enquire

Turns out she has a couple of DOZEN complimentary ride cards , which her hubbys job supplied ... so it cost me 4 x 2 euro addmission fee to get in and the kids got 44 free rides .... i didnt spend a penny !!!!! GREAT VALUE ...
Seriously tho , very nice couple with 2 kids , if you are reading this , many many thanks for your kindness, you made 3 kiddies very happy .

Of course back in '39 it was called Führerland.

I would not waste my money, like so many "events" here which are nothing more than a complete rip off fest.

That explains where the Ghost Train buggered off to then

prefer my feet firmly on the ground, don't have the stomach for anything like funderland, being pregnant with all day morning sickness was enough for me:D

+1, Funderland would have to be the biggest yearly congregation of the scum of Dublin.

You lot will complain about snobs and D4s but ye are too high and mighty for good ol' funderland:D

Maddison

Hmmm was going to bring the little dude over tomorrow...maybe not judging by the posts. Is the ice skating still on does anyone know?

If you drive a subaru, wanna feek a 14 year old knacker and drink tinnies of Dutch Gold then Funderland is da place 4 U!

It really is a magnet for scum. I think it's the flashy lights, rave music, abundance of chips and the satisfying of their need for speed that draws them in.

DEY TUK ER MOSNEY!!

citizen_p

dont go... its ****e when you think about it or compare it to anywhere else....

save your band money and buy a cheap flight on ryanair to a random city in europe for a weekend, even somwhere with a proper amusment park, or even a good carnival.

nelly97

Hmm...
Not really.
Well, I guess if you are into that sort of thing then it never was a ****hole.
For me though, kids are dragging me along to it. Not looking foward to it at all!

Biggins

Funderland? What do I think of it?
Not a lot to be honest. Expensive, a very, very poor version of what is called "Amusements" and a lowering blight on what the public that attend, have accepted as so called entertainment.

Dravokivich

never been to it, never saw the point in it at all to be honest...

Lumen

Went yesterday with the kids (ages 3 and 5). We had fun. It was about the same price as those travelling funfairs, but with less mud and more choice of rides for the small ones.

GusherING

I was in Hyde Park in London recently and they had a really good funfair that was largely imported from Germany. I thought Funderland could learn a few things from it, like:

stop the techno music and play Christmas music instead
offer more than just burger and chips as food. Hyde Park had bratwursts, mulled wine etc.
Charge free entry
Make it small child friendly

I'm confused, are you talking about funderland or the economic situation we find ourselves in?:)

angel01

I haven't been to Funderland in years, used to love it. I think I would faint at the prices of the rides if I went :eek:

Great memories though

General Zod

Keep your head inside the car or you may die. SHABBA!

Don't. Unless you want your head kicked in for merely being alive.:rolleyes::pac:

Pull those trakkies out of your socks there bro.

What exactly is wrong with Funderland?

Its a travelling amusment park, what exactly do people expect. Mid afternoon tea and some crumpets?

Well that would be a start and don't hold back on the Strawberry Jam.

Sadly they wont be doing any crumpets, but they may perhaps have a lovely selection of sandwiches followed by the main event which is a wine tasting.



NO wait thast a wine tasting event im thinking of not an a amusment park.

Wait what exactly do amusement parks do and who might might be their target audience. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
