Welcome to a fairly grey day here in London, in a recent vlog I took you
around the Edinburgh Christmas market and you'll remember how surprised that
was with how big it had gotten this year, well just take a look at the London one,
fancy exploring the London Christmas market with me welcome to RogVLOG.
Actually it is clearing up a little bit at the moment which is fantastic, I'm
working over in the city today but I've got a free afternoon so I couldn't
resist coming along here to the Christmas market and I'm particularly
interested in seeing the really scary roller coasters, apparently one of them
has got five loops.
I arrived mid-afternoon and there were no queues at all but beware, arrive later
and they're queueing all the way back to Marble Arch,
there are literally hundreds of shops restaurants and bars, this place is as
big as Blackpool Pleasure Beach,
the theming on this ghost train ride was absolutely incredible, I made a note to
come back when it was dark and take a ride, now ghosts trains are much more to
my taste,
I love the way the cars have you sitting with your feet dangling down over the
edge,
so that Munich Looping coaster, 5 looping coaster is the biggest portable
rollercoaster in the entire world, if i went on that i'd put my back out for
good,
well the sun's come down now and as you can see the lights look fantastic as it
gets darker, this right behind me is called Dr Archibald Master of Time, now
a long time ago it used to be a ghost train, but they've kitted it out now as a
virtual reality ride, I think I'm gonna go and try this one
out because I won't break my back on this one, again the theming and pre-show area were
absolutely stunning,
well Dr Archibald was interesting, of course it's actually nothing inside that
shell, there's just a track that weaves its way round and round, everything is in
the virtual reality goggles that you're wearing, fantasy world taking you
backwards and forwards through time, epic stuff,
time for a hog roast hot dog absolutely delicious,
even the wild mouse is a gigantic wild mouse it's more like a wild rat,
you really do have to see it in the dark to appreciate how amazing these lights
are,
and that Munich five looping coaster looked especially stunning with all this lights
bright in the darkness,
yup it was time to go back to that haunted mansion ghost train ride.
I especially like this bit where you come outside onto the balcony to see the
park before you.
I've been here for absolutely hours and my feet are killing me, I must have
walked miles and miles and miles and I'm gonna go find somewhere to sit down and
have a drink, but I highly recommend pipe art winter wonderland it is awesome, but
bring a lot of money with you because it's quite expensive once you add up
all the rides, food and drink.
