This has gotta be the worst news ever – the next Wonder Festival which is scheduled for Winter 2009 will be cancelled due to pending investigation of the Escalator Disaster At Wonder Festival back in August.
This piece of announcement can be seen on the official WanFesu website:
Basically it says that the executive committee had try hard to postpone it but eventually had to make this difficult decision of canceling the event.
Of course, they reassure fans that it doesn’t mean Wonder Festival is gone for good. But when the event will start again, there is no definite answer.
