The ride is rather wet, these water guns being the first of many soaking features.
Unlike other rides of this type, it is built above ground rather than dug into channels.
The queue and loading area.
The theming consists of Viking mythology lego sculptures placed at random intervals around the ride area.
Vikings River Splash is the parks river rapids, built in an interesting hillside location.
The pods are climate controlled, and offer unobstructed views.
The owners are currently commencing a programme to replace all the pods.
The wheel is rotated at a steady rate (Roughly twice the speed of a minute hand on a clock) by tyre drives.
Imagine the amount of force on this single point.
The London Eye was brought down the River Thames on barges, assembled flat, and then tilted up into position with cables, and The wheel is held up via these cables.
The attraction is well positioned, and you can spot virtually every major London landmark from it.
It wouldn't be a trip to London without a ride on the eye.
(The London Eye 4D experience is housed in the County Hall building to the right)
At the back of the park you can see the yellow 'Fireball' ride and part of the 'Barnstormer' roller coaster.
Closer to the front is the 'Scorpion', and the 'Formula A1 Karting' track.
To the back of the park is the 'Big Wheel', the 'Mighty Mini Mega' roller coaster and the 'Ramba Zamba'. In the middle of the park is the 'Dodgems' tent, and in the foreground 'Dragons Claw' can be seen spinning away.
On the left we have the 'Big Wheel', to the rear is the 'Mighty Mini Mega' roller coaster, and in front of that is 'Ramba Zamba'.
Real imaginitive layout on this one.
