Santa Claus Land
Didn't sound worth visiting, so headed to the station.
An article written in the 1994 Herald Scotland gave a review of Santa Claus Land which mentions the attractions available. So, at some point, the attraction was brought back to life.
Yet in 1998, the Guardian wrote:
There can scarcely be a more dismal sight, on a bright day in midsummer, than the Santa Claus Land theme park at Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands. Above the rusty barbed wire surrounding a trailer park, a vast inflatable Father Christmas nods and sways in the breeze. Three pounds fifty will admit you to a miserable municipal world of creosote and bark chippings, where you will find Snow White and seven crudely-renovated garden gnomes lurking beneath a bush, a giant garden shed containing a Christmas tree, a plastic dinosaur, a few yards of model railway and a wire for children to slide up and down on. It’s hard to think of anything more depressing than an invitation to celebrate Christmas every day of the year. 82060324
