Firstly, dreadful weather for our trip to Legoland. It has been glorious for about two weeks but suddenly turned to downpours. This meant our drive up to Windsor was slow and annoying. Despite leaving early we were not there for park opening. However, the bad weather worked to our advantage it put everyone else off! There were no queues on anything all day, we were able to finish a ride and jump right back on, including not even having to get off at all on one ride. We all had wet weather gear and changes of clothes with us in our backpacks we were carrying around so it really was no problem.
Imagine if you had bought a q-bot, as Clare was considering. One of these would be something like 60 PER PERSON in order to jump to the front of the queues. There were no queues, do you think you'd have got a refund? I don't think so.
My top tips for Legoland:
First we went to the far end of the park as recommended somewhere or other. A submarine ride and a look round the aquarium, then worked our way back from there. We enjoyed the squid surfers, only got a bit wet. Clare and big son went on a lego friends themed ride Mia's riding adventure, similar to that one at Paulton's that spins round and travels back and forth on a curved track. Then to Ninjago world, where we came first in the Ninjago ride. It's like an interactive 3D ghost train, where you can shoot your ninja powers agains things that are coming towards you. They'd call it 4D I suppose as there are blasts of heat and smoke and things too.
More to come...
We had a good time, bit tiring, not sure I'd come back again though.
