a week and a half ago we went to lego land, at the time we had our twins and 6 year old with us so we couldnt get on most of the rides, anyways we decided to get the merlin passes for me mrs and the 6year old.
we returned yesterday.
anyways, parking just over a week ago was £1 yesterday £2.
photos and the kids driving licences for the junior driving school was £5 last week - well this week £7.
but the biggest con of all, was the cost of an usb card, you could get your photos stored on your usb wrist band for a cost of £5 each digital image stored so you can print them yourself, ffs they get £10 (or £5 for merlin pass holders) out of you for a lego usb wrist band and then want to charge you £5 per copy of the digital file surely this should be a nominal 50p or £1 MAX. its not like its costing them anything other than storage for the day.
dont do what i done there, we bought 3 hotdogs at a princely sum of £4.30 each (yep i know but the wife wanted one), it wasnt until the evening i realised they had charged my car £17.20 for 3 dogs, aggghhhh why do i realised when its too late.
i guess they inflate thier prices for school holidays, but come on were not stupid, and why the hell are they even charging for a car park that everyone is attending thier park and spending £100s, even at £1 that is a real big sum after the £38 per adult and £28 per child inital costs.
then there are the qbots, you can rent a qbot to jump the ques, ok fair enough but comeon £15 for a timed qbot or £40 for an show up and ride qbot - EACH PERSON is a TOTAL CON
the best bargain i found was the drinks, for merlin card holders you can get all you can drink drinks holder for £15, we went though more than £15 worth of drink yesterday... for non card holder you can get a dated bottle for £6 all you can drink for that day only.
rant over....
oh well the kids love the park, all the rides are excellent for most kids aged between 3 - 12, teenagers would get bored imho.
