Advantages: carefully hidden . . . .

Disadvantages: dull, boring, lacks imagination, no contest for almost every other destination

From the moment I arrived I was moved to an emotional state. I rareley experience such a reaction, previously my first visit to Dreamland when I was about 6 years old, then Disney in Florida and Paris. Now, Chatham!

The difference though is the emotions I experienced at Dreamland and Disney were big WOW factor excitement emotions. Dickens World in Chatham generates a whole new level of destination attraction amazement.

Awe inspiring, tummy churning expectation, dizzy making excitement, the fun of a new experience, all of these descriptions are nothing to do with the feelings generated by Dickens World.

This monumentally dull Chatham dockyard dirge of a concept-less poorly excecuted shed was about £10 milion and an imagination short of what was needed to make this naff piece of tatt work.

I'm not sure who was responsible for this particular example of what is amusingly described as 'fun' in 2008, but whoever it was he should not be treated as a grown up or given any more money to make any more Dickens Worlds. Please. In fact, if you are near him when he says 'I've got a great idea', have him put down. And for Gods sake don't invest in it.

And value? If the average per head for your average destination is £30 then Dickens World should be charging no more than £5. Hell, they should be paying you to enter reading some reports.

If you are advertising for an person whose job description reads 'bad ideas expert required' this is y'man. In any event,he has WAY more money than good ideas, and he should have asked proper imagineers and taken fewer of the concept descisions himself. Way fewer.

And if he has any money left folks and you are looking for a mug, sorry, investor, he's a major mark.

Summary: Only visit if it is the only remaing building post apocalypse
