ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Is it worth going? I have a 50% off voucher. Also when do you think is the best time to go (has to be in school holidays)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I wouldn't waste your money unless you're into actor led experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I say reinstall the parts on the bus and bring the ride back to it's working glory. If county hall collapses through the strain, it's no big loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterio Ka Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Apart from a £300,000,000 property worth loss, a grade 2 listed building, and a huge slice of our political history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 What a massive fail. How did they not realise this would be a problem? As I had static bus on my visit I thought I might go back at some point to get a go on it, certainly won't bother going again now though.

TraX Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I dont know if this has been brought up but all the mechanical parts of the bus have now been completely removed, as we visited today and were told it will never move again :-( Well H&S went over all over the Southbank enormously (and without warning). A shame if that's their fix, the cracked floor and ceiling much be pretty bad. Ludicrous the weight and moment wasn't better considered in the first place.

Nick Hutson Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I think it's also due to the fact that kids under a certain height couldn't ride it and it probably held up batching lead to less people per hour through the door. Â Â Some people I know actually prefer it not moving - as the film creates such movement anyway. Â Reviews for the bus moment on TripAdvisor are still very strong.

AlexChewee Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Or maybe theirs offices underneath the bus ride building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed Plus the height restriction is no longer on the website. Will probably make a lot of families/young children happier too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Wasn't too impressed by Shrek's Adventure in all honesty, it relied far too much on screens for my liking and there was little in the way of animated figures, Shrek hardly made an appearance (aside from on screens - not much in person) and there wasn't even a scene in his house!  One of my least favourite things was the lack of creativity put into the whole attraction; many of the features are the exact same ones as those used next door (in the Dungeons)! Examples of this are the "leech" chairs, the projected face of Shrek and the mirror maze... come on, put some new ideas in rather than reusing the same ones!  Some aspects were good (lighting effects) but, IMO, it's not great.

SteveJ Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 This time CoasterJamie's post actually sounded like a genuine opinion and not at all unreasonable, why bash it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Shrek is acceptable as it is. There's some reasonably good theming in there, the details in carriage, bakery and Pinoccio are particularly good.  Apart from some of the cheesiness at the start and end (which may be intentional), the lack of themed ceiling and broken bus ride are my main disappointments here.

Benin Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 One person's acceptable is another's awful... And let's be honest, things being 'acceptable' is half of the problems within the parks atm... Â I've not bothered because the crux of the attraction literally doesn't interest me, and that the main technological draw of the whole thing doesn't work otherwise it destroys the building says it all about the project...

I'd be more surprised if CJ went in and enjoyed either Dungeons or Shrek. Might have saved 2016 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
