I drove my son to the Trafford centre and showed him the ship part in The Orient. I had built up the sky changing roof too much it would seem. It was underwhelming. There was a Viking exhibition in where bearded men fake fought on stage.
We walked to the Legoland part and entered.
When we had to wait for a guide I was a bit nervous. I hate audience participation. Luckily it was only the kids doing it and my son enjoyed his part. We hopped on the short train laser shooting ride where we had to shoot our laser guns at scenarios on projection screens. I don't think they were working properly, at least for the first couple of screens. Then we entered one room where a town was made out of lego. I expected more of this but through the next doors we were greeted with a play area, a cafe and toilets. This was a good 50% of the place. I felt a little cheated. There was a peddle car part too and some side rooms cordoned off for building lego stuff. My son played as I stared at parents. There was some commotion as a child was missing and staff were spreading out through the play area to find him.
There was a small ninjago laser corridor filled with dry ice which kids had to negotiate without breaking the beams and my boy liked this the most. Finally we left and drove home. The parking had taken twenty minutes of going around and around so I was glad to be out. The centre itself is a great place to hang out.
The evening was spent playing with his new Hero Factory toy and watching the episode which it was from.
Then I played Watchdogs till late.
