One
through the first tunnel you end up in an open air area in the centre of the
roller coaster. As well as some unusual views of the roller coaster it takes
you past some fairy tale scenes. Unfortunately on my last visit the models
in this area weren't in the best state. They still had a nostalgic charm,
but they felt a little rough around the edges. They still look pretty nice,
but they could do with a little sprucing up to restore them to their former
glory.
Luckily the second half of the ride remains as good as ever. It takes place
in a large enclosed area under the roller coaster's
hill
lift. I like how they play Disney's "It's a Small World" as you enter it. I
can't decide if this is a lazy rip off, or an incredibly clever piece
of satire. The models here continue the fairy tale theme with a wonderful
nostalgic charm, leading up to a great final scene on a nice scale, you
wouldn't believe possible for the ride. Don't be put off by the fairy tale
theme, this is a ride that provides fun and amusement for adults, as well as
children. |
