Hundreds of angry ticket holders complained to trading standards that you had was demolished and new forest theme park on the Hampshire and Dorset border of Lapland closed within days after opening.
£ 1 Would have made up to the men behind the venture brothers Victor and Henry Mears. 2 m had all gone to plan a jury was told, but instead you are accused of misleading advertising. Malcolm Gibney, Crown Court, for the pursuit, Bristol said that the theme park tickets £ 30 each costs and that there had been 10,000 booking in advance, after advertised it in 2008.
"The website promised a festive scene." It was as described a winter wonderland,"he said." Visitors travelled from as far away as West Wales and the Midlands. Mr Gibney, said: "some of you travelled many miles and told their utter disappointment to what you saw and their anger." It was only feeling the "wow" consumers felt many "Wow what a con". "There were many families with young children, a lot of money spent on what they hoped would be a wonderful Christmas treat."
The brothers refuse from Brighton, five charges of participation in a commercial practice, which is a misleading action and three fees in a commercial practice which is to engage a misleading omission.
