I went past Madame Tussauds yesterday, and there was the usual long queue to get in...

Does anyone here understand why people would queue up to pay £28 (!!) to see some wax (or whatever they're made of) dummies?

You should see the one in Blackpool (Lois Tussauds i think) - whilst there's NEVER a queue outside it, the waxworks look like something a 5 year old could do with plastecine. Unless, of course, the only celebrities on display are morph and his family....

I remember going when I was young and finding it pretty frightening, either because of the atmosphere of the Chamber of Horrors, or because of some of the figurines. TO be honest I can't remember them being that bad. But thinking about it, really don't know why I'd go there again :blink:

Maddame Tussaud's is ok, I think I've picture's of me as a kid with Arnie, ET and strangely Desmond Tutu.:blink:

Been to Lois Tussaud's in Blackpool as well, all I can remember from it was the gruesome car crash scene in the Chamber Of Horrors.

Shame I've never been to the one in Great Yarmouth, I'd love to find out who the f**k this is.

I think it could be Ted Danson at the back right but I can't be sure.

I work at the Madame Tussauds in London quite a bit and think the figures are a million times better than the ones on the previous page. I can't figure out how to post photos but they really are a lot better than the comedy ones already posted on here.

I think there's a bit of cache for the celebs to have a waxwork in madam tussauds and, consequently, they'll go along there to have impressions taken and for 'fittings' and suchlike whereas nobody famous is interested in having their effigy on display in blackpool or great yarmouth. As such, these provincial places are working from photographs and suchlike so i guess they can't be expected to meet the standards of madam tussauds.

      I'm British so it very much would apply for me.   I mean, it's a moot point as I don't have tickets so will not be in town for this, but I've heard reports of lengthy queues and given I remember Lisbon Airport having a long queue at arrivals even pre-EES when I went in 2023, I seem to guess it might be quite the wait, depending on flight paths.   Certainly, the worst I've had pre-EES was a 45 minute wait for a stamp at Valencia Airport in Spain, where 4 flights to non-EU destinations in quick succession were placed one after the other. So I can't say I'm enthusiastic about what's in store. Or you know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

      Out of interest keep seeing messages saying last 12 hours etc… to buy you full weekend tickets.  Whats that about? Do they take them off sale early?
