If I'm honest, I wouldn't have cared if they hadn't changed a thing. It was just so great to be able to look at everything again, look at the walk through experience bit of it from a slightly different angle and actually notice where The Face of Boe was this time... However, the fact that they had updated it a bit too was fantastic. However I don't remember there being any Silence...
I think half of the fun was being able to share this experience with one of my friends who hadn't been round before. Getting to tell her to "wait for it" during the moment before stepping through the crack in the screen into the experience and just getting all excited all over again by the fact that she was seeing it all with fresh eyes.
Furthermore, those odd bits which I'm sure were there before but I just didn't notice... like in the Dalek bit of the experience, when we were "being scanned" they actually had a live image of us come up on the screen amongst the other things that were obviously there every time. Oh and I got scared by the 3D section all over again... There was a little boy who came out absolutely petrified afterwards (he can't have been much more than 5 or 6) and I felt like telling him "don't worry, I was scared and I've seen it all before!"
You know, I should really have a look at all the photos I took... Well, I guess that's what I'll be doing after this blog/dinner!
Edit: photo time!
Live long and keep posting =]

Was there anything from the proper Doctor Who or was it all about this Wacky Spin Off pretending to be Doctor Who?
ReplyDeleteI liked The Face of Boe. That probably says bad things about the inside of my head...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to ignore the comment about it being a wacky spin off and say: yes, there were quite a few Classic Who things. All the Doctor's outfits, the old sonics and TARDIS keys, old Daleks, old sontarans (which were a lot taller...), quite a few old cybermen masks, one of the old TARDIS interiors, one of the old TARDIS exteriors, some old who playing on a TV screen, and I'm sure there were a couple of other things I've forgotten about...
ReplyDeletewait... maybe i'm just nitpicking because i'm so far behind now, but this feels a bit like a second half of the last post rather than a standalone episode? i'm not sure how two-parters fit into the challenge rules 8p
ReplyDeleteI was going to put in a ton of photos but I hadn't taken them off my camera. I could add them to beef it out a bit if that makes you feel any better? ;)
