UK Tourist & Leisure Attractions

Well, we finally arrived after battling with no signage from the M25, even when we found signs to Legoland around Windsor they weren't consistent, changing between brown and yellow signs.  Not a good start then.
 

Here's Belinda with our friend Bob in the Pit Stop Café at Legoland planning our day with the Park Guide.  The parking wasn't guided like at other theme parks, it was a matter of 'up and down the rows to find a space'.

Mike checking out the guide board before boarding (after queuing, of course) the 'funicular' Hill Train into Legoland proper.  The weather was  a bit 'iffy' to start.

We found Legoland geared more towards younger children, Mike was disappointed to discover he didn't meet the height restriction - he was too TALL!
 

This is the Adventurers' Wave Surfer in the My Town area of the theme park.  The ride involved spinning round in a boat thing while depth charges went off at random!
 

Here's Mike and Belinda posing with a Lego man at Legoland.  There were many Lego figures all over the Legoland theme park, and all constructed out of Lego bricks.

It's lunch time already (thanks to our late arrival due to the poor signage already moaned about!).  We ate outside at 'The Burger Ranch' in the warm late September sunshine but thought the prices a bit steep!

This is The Lego Orient Express zooming through the jungle of Lego tigers, yes, even the wildlife was made of Lego!  It was very well done we thought.  Hey, they've got something right at last at Legoland theme park!
 

Belinda's taste in men has changed as she tried to chat up another Lego man.  He wasn't very chatty though, so Mike's still safe then.  The Legoland website link is on our UK tourist links page.

Queuing is an inevitable part of any theme park, here's a good idea to keep the kids happy by providing Lego to play with.  Some of the kids were rather destructive with their creations though!
 

After the queuing comes the 'pre-ride experience', this one at the Pirate Falls ride in Wild Woods Land with many amusing and imaginative Lego exhibits to enjoy as we bobbed along in the boat.

Splashdown on the Pirate Falls.  Hmmm, the ride seemed very similar to the Loggers Leap at Chessington and others at Thorpe Park and Alton Towers we've been on!  Please continue to Legoland page two.
