Right, today I went to Legoland with my family to get a looksie at the new ride, which up until this point had been neglected by CoasterForce :lol:

First up we got to the park and headed straight to the new area, which we new to be where Bricadilly’s Circus used to be, just before you get into Lego City. And the site that met us as we got off the hill train was absolutely stunning! I couldn’t believe the job that they had done. Thorpe eat your heart out, if Merlin are capable of this then you got the short straw! :p

The ride itself is great and is on a par with Chessie’s although not a massive, remember this has been contained into a rather small place just round the back of the train tracks and former circus tent. The Lego Express itself actually runs through the queueline – that’s right not under or over it, through it! So there’s a level crossing in the queue, is that a world’s first? :roll:


Anywho, onto piccies!

So all in all a great day, did some other rides as well but we only really went for the new ride, which didn’t break down on us mid-queue unlike the other Merlin park we visited for a new attraction recently :wink:


And finally…

…what's this I see in the distance? Is it Saw or Pirate Falls: The Ride? Hard to tell really :lol:

The themeing isn't that amazing. It's just a front farcade built in front of a tent. :p
And looking at a POV of the new laser ride it doesn't seem to be anything amazing. I like what they've done with the area though and it's an improvement of how it used to be.

^ Ollie, please bear in mind that this is a ride targeted at the lower end of the family spectrum, i.e mainly under 10s. It sounds like it might be worth a ride or two.

Reminder to self - Legoland this season!
