Item 82: Legoland Windsor

Location: Legoland Windsor, United Kingdom

I saw my flatmate's box of Cornflakes offering 2 for 1 entry to Legoland and what better time to visit than mid-week, now that the kids are back in school and my out of office is set on my work email account.

Although we queued for entry with the most number of prams I have seen at one time, this meant that most of the young visitors did not meet the height requirements (1.3m), for the 'scary' rides - shorter queues for me!

We played it safe by going on the Vikings' River Splash first so we could dry out through the rest of the day. As the sign said, "You will get wet".

Adrenalin pumping, we then went on the Jolly Rocker (pirate ship), Dragon's Apprentice (baby roller coaster) and moved into the Knight's Kingdom for the 'The Dragon' (bigger roller coaster). Unfortunately for me, it was then time for a tiny power spew. Oh dear, Legoland may be for the younger kids but the big kids, with obviously weak stomachs, still feel the punch.

I was fascinated at each turn through the park to find the level of intricacy of the Lego sculputures. Flamingos, tigers, dragons, workmen and when entering 'Miniland' I found amazing reconstructions of famous architecture from places I'd visited in Europe. Even more so, Legoland was well into the spirit of this week's Royal Wedding, with mini-Buckingham Palace surrounded by Lego men and women crowding its gates to get a glimpse of the newly married Lego couple.
