Saturday 9th June... cont....
I didn't actually take any photos of the Tarzan show. We had quite a good seat, we were sat roughly in the middle and quite near the front.
I am going to be in the minority here, but I just didn't really enjoy the show
I think this was partly (or maybe mostly) because Olivia was playing up a bit as she was tired and was just fidgeting the whole time so I had one eye on her and one eye on the show.
One thing that can't be disputed is the amazing acrobatic skills of the performers... just WOW!
The show finished by about 2.30pm and we suddenly realised that we hadn't actually had any lunch yet!
So we headed out of the parks and went to Annette's to grab a bite to eat!
I had the Rock n Rock burger and Olivia had the Kid's chicken nuggets. Whilst we were waiting for the food to be ordered, Olivia decided she wanted to draw a picture of me to put on my desk at work... here is the piece of artwork she created:
Erm, thanks Olivia - I shall treasure that beautiful likeness forever!
I look like the bloomin' Gruffalo!!!
Our main meals were really good, although the kid's meal was drowned in so many chips we had to go on a fishing expedition to locate the chicken nuggets underneath!
Olivia then enjoyed yet another pudding of ice cream, this time with Smarties - which she really enjoyed!
After finishing up our food we rushed into the Studios, as it was going to be our last chance to catch the stunt show!
The stunt show had been closed on our last trip in March so this was one of the things on my must-do list!!
As we entered the studios we realised that we had arrived just as the Stars in their Cars parade was going past. Olivia wasn't really that interested in watching it though as it is one of those things that once you've seen it, you've seen.
As most people were queueing up to watch the parade, we were one of the first people into the arena and got ourselves so great seats.
Olivia got a little bit fidgety again while we waited (for what seemed like an eternity) for the arena to fill up and for the show to start. So I kept her distracted with getting her to try and read out all the shop signs etc...
Again, I didn't take any photos of the show itself! Doh! But it was as good as always! I still don't think I like the Lightning McQueen addition... I say BRING BACK HERBIE!
One part Olivia hated was at the end with the fire effect, as we were sat very near the front it was extremely hot and she ended up screaming (as did all the children around us... and a few adults too!) as she thought it was really burning her.
Other than that, it got a big thumbs up from her!
By the time we got out of there, it was already 5.30pm so we had to head back out of the park again for our WWS sitting at 6.30pm.
If you read my last trip report, you'd know how we got really terrible seats last time we went to the WWS and it was almost enough to make me not want to go again.
but with a 30euro offer on Ticketnet, I couldn't stay away! We arrived by about 17.45 and it was already really busy. As we were queuing up all I kept saying in my head was "please don't put us in Red S5"... we handed our tickets over to the guy and in return he gave us our sears... Red.... S5! Arrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
I was feeling pretty deflated but didn't think at the time to ask him if we could switch seats. So we headed through and Olivia enjoyed watching Goofy and the band sing and dance.
Before we knew it, it was time to be seated. Despite being in the same row as last time, we were given seats on the end of the row and despite being even further to the left than we were last time, I actually found the seats to be better.
Having only finished our 'lunch' two hours previous, we were both not very hungry at all for our dinner. In fact, I think I probably only managed a few mouthfuls.. but then I don't do the WWS for the food!
The show was fantastic, as usual. Lots of cutlery banging, yeharring and chanting... what more could you want?
We came out of the show and decided to head back to the room for a quick lie-down before heading out to see Dreams for the final time!
