The queui...Lee - looking forward to your pictures.<br /><br />The queuing mentioned reminded me of our trip to Legoland. We booked online, arrived and then found we had to join a huge queue to verify our booking (with all the other online bookers). <br /><br />Meanwhile other people were just walking up to the gate - paying - and getting straight in.<br /><br />We were in the verification queue for 1 hour and 15 minutes. We thought we'd just go straight in but noooooo. We then had to go to the back of the gate queue (which had now built up to biblical proportions) to get in. We had to queue for another hour and a bit (call it 2 and a half hours in total) to get into the park - despite booking online and incidentally paying in advance.<br /><br />By the time we actually got in, the park was heaving with an average wait time of 1 hour and 45 minutes per ride. We managed to get the kids onto one ride before we'd all had enough and headed home. So it worked out that we paid £75 to spend the best part of 4 hours queuing so the kids could have 3 minutes on a ride. <br /><br />So much for ticketing and queuing systems! Needless to say we won't be doing that again.<br /><br />I'd have thought that 2 queues - one for online bookings, one for 'on the door' payments would have made more sense. Those with a bit of forethought get in quicker (and a little bit cheaper). Same applies to Legoland as it does to Salute.Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.com
