My Town harbour, setting for the Jack Stone Stunt Show
In the My Town area at Legoland they have the Jack Stone Stunt Show which mainly consists of actors falling into the harbour a lot.  Here we see Belinda waiting for the show to start, there are several shows throughout the day.

The warm-up jet skier for the Jack Stone Stunt Show at Legoland
The Jack Stone Stunt Show was actually rather good, there was a bit of a 'pre-show experience' though which consisted of someone riding round and round the water on a jet ski, splashing the audience, this did seem to go on a bit long.
 

The Stunt Show finale
This is the climax to the Jack Stone Stunt Show when the lighthouse blows up and the actors fall into the water yet again.
 

Hmmm, what haven't we seen yet
We kept referring to the Legoland guide to work out what ride to try next, Belinda's seen here in mid-ponder.  Looks like it's catching, the lady behind has adopted the same ponder, or maybe she's a Lego lady made out of Lego bricks?  Anyway, off to Castleland next.  Now, which way??

Bob enters Castleland at Legoland
Here's Bob marching towards Castleland where we went on the Dragon Coaster, the nearest thing to a fast and scary ride at Legoland.  It kept breaking down and we kept having to return though.
 

Legoland driving school in Traffic Land
This was also scary - if you're 5.  It's the Driving School in Traffic Land and god help us when this lot get a real car!  Little did we know we'd know all about traffic in a few hours when we made tracks for home.

The Whirly Birds in Explore Land
Another one for the younger kids, and it's the Whirly Birds in Explore Land.  Belinda decided Mike was a big boy now so he didn't get a go on this Legoland attraction.

Belinda ponders the attractions in Miniland
This was the highlight for us, the mini towns and cities in Miniland, all made with Lego.  (Mike was disappointed as he thought he was going to see lots of mini skirted girls!).
 

Mike's turn to admire the mini buildings
The attention to detail in Miniland was amazing, with a London complete with up-to-date figures like David Blaine in his box, Holland with the windmills and a train set running around, plus many other worldwide areas.
 

A mini version of Brands Hatch at Legoland
This is a mini version of Brands Hatch, with the cars running around the track with lots of 'zooming' noises!

Belinda thinks she can lose Mike and Bob in the maze
Back in Wild Woods and Belinda tried to lose Mike and Bob in the Amazing Mazes.  In this area they had a Spinning Spider ride and an Enchanted Forest that we walked round, with Lego animals, of course!

An enjoyable day at Legoland, but spoilt by a poor travel experience arriving and leaving, see right >>>

The amazing waterfall in Amazing Mazes
The waterfall in the maze.  We also saw the 4D show in the Imagination Theatre which involved cars racing out of the screen at you and it snowing!  After this we visited the inevitable gift shop before taking well over an hour to exit Legoland, despite there being two traffic lanes, as the surrounding road system in Windsor is hopelessly inadequate, plus no signage back to the M25 either!  Moan, moan!

We've also been to Chessington, Thorpe Park and Alton Towers theme parks.
