The Nightmare Before Christmas

My only fear in telling this story is that it will be impossible to impart the true nature of this experience to another human being who wasn't there to experience it. I, like an idot, read an ad and BELIEVED it, about this awesome place called 'Winterworld'. By the way, that marketing company is pure genius and I plan to use them should I ever launch my own venture. This is how the ad looked:

"WinterWorld is Now Open. The Crowds Have Found Us. New HoursThrough January"

WinterWorld, a one-of-a-kind attraction opened for the first time in Denver on November 29, 2007...in the former Country Dinner Playhouse building; 13,000 square feet on 5-acres behind Target at Arapahoe Road & I-25...WinterWorld is an elf-led tour through a series of attractions which include:
Indoor Snowfall
Twinkle Room
Gingerbread Kitchen
Ice Forest
Giant Snowglobe
Dickens Village
Giant Gifts
Spinning Candycane Tunnel
Hawaiian Christmas
Nutcracker Ballet
Glowing Candy Forest
Blacklight Snowflakes
Model Train Room
Candy Shoppe
Santa's Limousine
Snow Cave

Well, let's just say that one look around the parking lot gave us a clue that we had been misled. Please check out the looks on the kids' faces when we 'experienced' this place for ourselves.
