That must depend on the day - we’re doing 2pm on a Monday and still had to book £25 worth of rides each to get in “free”.
12 - 13 yesterday was free. Maybe that's the cut off, or more likely these days it might be dynamic.
Hyde Park closed for Storm Burt as well as Storm Darragh recently - it's not just Winter Wonderland but the entirety of Hyde Park.The wind must be really bad, as Winter Wonderland never close for adverse weather. I think that this may literally be the first time in their history that they’ve ever done this?
I don’t think it’s a case of the wind being really bad so much as it is a case of changing H&S; with the headwinds in UK theme park H&S going the way they are, I imagine HPWW’s tolerance for operation in wind is lower than it used to be in the earlier years of the event.The wind must be really bad, as Winter Wonderland never close for adverse weather.

If it wasn't for the OTSR/Accordian restraints, maybe. But the restraints kill what would otherwise be a great ride. Very overrated though, unfortunately. Looks impressive but the ride experience is seriously hampered by the terrible restraints. Wild Maus XXL was more fun.Olympia looping isn't luxurious but it's in the top 5 coasters in the UK whilst it's here
I’m 6ft and my experience of my one ride it was that the restraints were absolutely crushing my shoulders as the ride progressed. Sure the coaster itself was nice and smooth but those restraints were horrid uncomfortable things.I'm 196cm and find Olympia fairly comfortable and very smooth.
I'm 198cm and it's hell towards the end however I don't think it discriminates against tall people as it starts of comfortable and gets tighter and tighter throughout the layout which people of any height report the same thing.I'm 196cm and find Olympia fairly comfortable and very smooth.
