Loved the lights and music, albeit more from a distance than close up.
Got very frustrated by the '2 minutes til next show' that I seemed to hit on every display.I got bored waiting for them to restart. As did many others, I noticed. Kids especially.
The firefly between-displays time seemed more like 10 minutes.
The simpler stuff was actually better than the more adventurous stuff. Overall: beautiful lights, inspiring music.
Keep up the good work!Linda Wright

Absolutely enchanting! The Enchanted Forest is a must see, especially for the kids and the big kids! My husband and I took our family of 12 from Aberdeen to the forest last night (6/11/10) to celebrate our babys` 1st Birthday. Its the first visit for all of us. Just browsing through our photos, my 2 year old said, "want to go there again mummy, to look for the fairies"! We WILL definetley be returning. The whole experience from checking in, to returning back on the bus was so smooth, even with the crowds, there was only a 10 minute wait. We were all mezmerised by the beauty of the woods. The talent, and ideas of what seems simple lighting and noise effects with a big impact. Felt safe at all times with plenty of staff/stewards at many locations around the trail, who were all very friendly and helpful, even when it was 0`c. An experience not to be missed!Lynn Bruce
