Could Hungary’s most popular ice rink close?
Although the artificial ice rink in Városliget opens this November despite the energy crisis, ice skaters will have to pay double the ticket price than last year. If the increased prices scare away skaters, Hungary’s most popular ice rink might even close.
The ice rink opens in November
According to the plans, the Artificial Ice Rink of Városliget will open this year on 17 November, writes budapestkornyeke.hu. The operator announced the opening and current ticket prices on its website. If everyhing goes according to plan, the ice rink is open to visitors from 17 November until 31 December. However, the management of the capital indicated that, despite the fact that the facility will open again this year, it is not at all certain that they will be able to maintain its operation.
Tickets have increased drastically
Entrance tickets will increase by an average of 100 percent, which means that the prices have doubled, reports travelo.hu. For school groups and families, discounted tickets will still be available, but the price of these has also gone up considerably. The student and pensioner ticket will be HUF 2,000 (EUR 4,86) instead of HUF 1,000 (EUR 2,43) in the normal period, from Monday to Friday morning, and HUF 2,500 (EUR 6,07) instead of HUF 1,500 (EUR 3,64) from Friday evening and throughout the weekend.

The ice rink might close due to the energy crisis
Due to the increased overhead costs, the capital might not be able to operate the ice rink, writes vg.hu. As long as the Artificial Ice Rink of Városliget is able to recover its operating costs, it can stay open. However, the Budapest management has indicated that they will not keep the rink open at all costs. If they cannot cover the expenses, they will have to close. If guests are willing to pay the higher prices, there is a chance that it will be open for the rest of the winter, but according to Deputy Mayor Ambrus Kiss, it is questionable whether the number of visitors will be as high this year as in previous years.

NEVER let us FORGET, we voted as a country in April 2022 at the National Elections, to return the Fidesz Party led by its Leader – Victor Orban back into office, the Governing of Hungary.
Hungary – we made that DECISION by our Right to Vote, under a Democratic Political system – SUPPOSIVELY.
Major situations development’s – to a degree unexpected since April 2022, have in Europe and Globally occurred.
Fidesz – the Orban led “dictatorial” styled and run Government of Hungary – increased post April 2022 – in its agenda, driven by POWER – disintegrating illuminating continuously, core elements of Democracy, that witness functionality of Ruling by Decree, was our DECISION to Vote this Government back into POWER correct?
Hungary – economically, the on-going picture is quite Horrendous.
Hungary – the European Union “membership” continues to worsen that could see Hungary “voted out.”
WHO without European Union Membership – is GOING to “butter the bread” of Hungary?
The brand name of Hungary, our RESPECTABILITY – in the European Union, Great Britain & Ireland, the United States of America and Globally has been DESCIMATED by this Orban led Government of Hungary.
The European Union, part of the NO funding to Hungary, is through this Orban Government, abusing the Laws of the European Union Membership, the wrongfulness in the use of funding received from the European Union, fraudulent in fact, the way in which funding has been used applied by this Fidesz led Government, under Victor Orban – the present Prime Minister of Hungary.
The overall aggression continuous and relentless – in their attack on the European Union, by the Orban led Government of Hungary, that places us Hungary – in a perilous place to a large degree, in remaining a member of the European Families of Europe.
Who are Hungary’s FRIENDS?
They have aggressively diminished rapidly post February 2020.
We know – the FRIENSHIPS with Russia & China that Hungary embrace & enjoy and continual to build on.
We know – these relationships inclusive of the European Union – through its core of membership being DEMOCRACY, stating that Hungary no LONGER is Governed under DEMOCRACY that this movement that Hungary continues to display to Europe & the Global World, that countries such as Britain & the United States of America – would be disappointed and ANGERED, of this Hungarian Political movement, by the Orban led Government of Hungary, that clearly displays from a Democracy practice of Government – to a Dictatorship.
Hungary – the price YOU pay – for this WRONGFUL decision, that citizens – the population of Hungary – continue to support, without rights of objection or demonstration – granted THEM under DEMOCRACY.
The collapse of the Education Facilities in Hungary, across all the componentry that comes under the banner or title of EDUCATION – practically destroyed by this Fidesz led Government under Victor Orban – who ultimately FAILED – to INVEST into Hungarian Education, and NOW are in a position of having NO funds available for NEEDS of Education.
The ongoing Falseness of Truth under the PROPAGANDA regime of the Orban Government, blaming the no funding from the European Union as the REASON(S) why Educators and Education Facilities have not received WAGE increases or facilities upgraded – are SHALLOW reasons from this Orban Government, lacking substance of Fact & Truth, that clearly exposes displays – why EDUCATION in Hungary – is in the Cataclysmic MESS it is to-day.
No money – from the European Union, for as LONG as the name, as Leader of the Fidesz Political Party – Victor Orban, is registered recorded as Prime Minister of Hungary.
Hungary – we have been ‘Scared & Tarnished” – left Isolated – through the Orban Governments ideas & philosophy of Politics.
Is the Orban led Government of Hungary – IMPLODING?
Nothing in Hungary, being ongoing in witnessing, through the core componentry of its Economic & Financial structure – can POSSIBLE get cheaper.
Is the Forint “doomed” to the Euro – ongoing through DEVALUATION?
Housing & Property Markets – factually through WEIGHT of Sellers experiencing a carnage type environment, with buyers, foreign investors – continuing to DISAPPEAR.
Winter nears – what for Hungary?
WHAT is – is there a FUTURE for Hungary?
Hungary post 1989 – remembered and I don’t want to live AGAIN, but signs are progressing rapidly that we Hungary are RETREATING to those DARKENED times – 1945-1989.
Hungary:
“When the Yoke is Broken,
the Burden is Removed.”
Hungary – the Yoke – the Burden what OTHER indicators do WE really need, to FACTUALLY know – the name of the Yoke and the Burden/
Get rid of the awfull stadium lighting and bring back the lanterns and the romance the were stung across the ice.
That just for starters- it’s one of the most beautiful places in hungary
