Spectacular Day
First came here in 2011 with younger children who are now teenagers. We had another spectacular day. We got there for opening time and made the most of the shows throughout the day. We managed to do nine of the attractions/shows. The only negative is the cost of bottled water.

Busy and crowded but spectacular
We did this theme park yesterday (Monday). It took about 10 -15 minutes to enter at 11am to the 'Sanitaire Pass' checks and bag checks etc which were very efficient. It was a quick and easy 5-10 minute walk from the car parks to the entrance. We were disappointed that many of the shows required you to wait in a crowd/queue to get in (at least 30 minutes beforehand) to secure a place inside. We missed two shows because we just got to the entrance as it closed even though we were there 20 minutes before they started. The app was frequently wrong saying that you could access the show when actually it was full. This was not only incredibly frustrating but made the whole experience (for us) rather stressed and rushed as we were only there for the one day. There were clearly other people in the same position as many people were running from one show to another. The shows themselves were spectacular and we especially enjoyed the immersive shows even though they were so crowded inside. We would return for this reason but on a day a the end of the school holidays and not in the middle of August. We would have also booked an 'Emotion pass' but there didn't seem to be any available for several weeks in advance when we booked so this is perhaps something to be aware of if you dislike queueing for a long time or are Covid anxious in a crowd. We would also have purchased some good earphones for the translater app as it is hard to hear over the volume of the show, although mine kept signing out of the onsite WIFI anyway so didn't really work on my phone. There were plenty of toilets and food outlets (mainly selling sandwiches). Toilets generally had a queue for them though and were looking pretty grim by the end of the day. Overall, this is a great theme park, but not in August and only if they limited tickets as it was just too crowded! When are they going to build one in the UK?
