Where's that blimin Tardis???

The long anticipated... (for me anyway)

LEGOLAND !!!!

Jarvis just found out about this surprise visit last night.
We had 1 day only, and we were going to hit it with all the energy we had!!!

 Q-Bot in hand and map at the ready... it was going to be a day of military precision... nothing would be left out unless necessary!  I had done thorough research and knew the best rides to go for first before the crowds turned up. We were first in the door and waited patiently for the half hour before gates opened... then, we were on!

                                          

 

After a quick walk through the land of Lego... The level of excitement mounting...

we headed straight for the most popular and fastest rides... THE DRAGON was first on my list!!! And thankfully Jarvis took to it with total enthusiasm and it was awesome! 

(no 'Dragon's Apprentice' for us today!)

After the Dragon ride for the third time in a row, we went on...

"Pirate Falls- Dynamite Drench" (AND yes, we got totally drenched!), 

then "Laser Raiders", "Scarab Bouncers", "Fire Academy"...

Then it was off to "L Drivers" - where Jarvis got his Legoland license! (CUTE!)

We hit the "Longboat Invader" (longest queue of the day at 30 minutes!)

Then we were off to the "Vikings River Splash"!!!

When it comes to wet water rides - Legoland is a brutal assault... 

(Disneyland is for wimps!)

Looks tame enough... Yeah Right!

My boys enjoyed this first ride sooo much they talked me into another go round...

This is a grimace, not a smile! ha ha

 We all got 'completely drenched' twice today - (the first time on "Pirate's Falls-Dynamite Drench" and then the double attack on "Vikings River Splash") 

I am not exaggerating!!! DRENCHED - I was ringing out my skirt!

Bruce getting his own back... see the queue of children behind him... 

they didn't 'ave a chance ha ha

 

To warm us up... a Knight's lunch of 1/2 Roast Chicken and chips at the Castle!

Oops - and a pint each too.... 

and that only means....

 Ok, then another couple of rides on the "DRAGON"!!!!

Then, there was no excuse... "The Jolly Rocker" (nearly lost our lunch on that one!)

On the way to "Orient Expedition" (Lego City's train ride). 

And would you believe it, you get squirted with water on this ride too!

Mona Lisa in Lego - nice!

"Atlantis" was next on the list... Jarvis loved it! We submerged underwater in a Lego Submarine AND this time, we didn't get wet!

The Biggest Lego Shop was our next stop - sooo cheap in comparison to our toy shops in NZ!!! We had a little spree!  Jarvis' birthday pressie sorted!

Then... last ride of the day (Jarvis' idea) was Digger Challenge... (with Mum's help - probably not the best idea!)

 

 And last but not least... Miniland as they tried to get rid of us as all the rides had closed and doors were about to shut...

 Friggin exhausted... and still no Tardis!!!

Jarvis was super sad to leave (he is already planning to bring his family here when he is older) What a fun day out thou ... Perfecto!
