Danny Welbeck posted videos of the Arsenal players on a night out at Winter Wonderland on Saturday night, as an early team Christmas celebration.
Welbeck decided to film the players on one of the rides, and although he seemed to be loving it, some of the others didn’t seem so sure.
Jack Wilshere, in particular, looked more like he was clinging on for dear life than enjoying himself.
Rob Holding, Hector Bellerín, Calum Chambers, Aaron Ramsey and Per Mertesacker joined the Englishman, among others.

Thanks to the TV schedule, Arsenal have some extra time off for Christmas, enjoying the longest break between games in the league.
The Gunners play every few days after the 28th, but for now they are enjoying a six-day break.
That’s rare for a Premier League football team and unheard of at Christmas. Most teams play on the 23rd, then again on the 26th and there’s usually no time to waste if players want to see their families.
Clearly, the club and players decided to take advantage of the longer holiday to do some team-building.
It’s certainly good to see them enjoying themselves Hopefully, they can carry that good feeling back to the training ground and into the next match against Crystal Palace on the 28th.
But for now, they probably need a bit of time off, especially after that game against Liverpool!
