Advantages: Fun and exciting

Disadvantages: Some of the negative vibes off the personel

Well it was one cold Christmas morning that we dared go and venture the LONDON DUNGEONS. Bwa hahahahaha.

It started off with Big Brother and I going to pick up Mad Sister in Law and her friends. We went down to Reading train station to get the Paddigton train to go to the, what we thoght and hoped to be, scary London Dungeon (Santas Grotto was the theme for the crimbo season. After being pushed, stamped and bugged by the London tube travellers we finally got to the Green Market before going to the London Dungeon. Only just before getting to the London Dungeon me and Big Brother decided to watch the little TV's outside the London Bridge and Tombs experience (looked good) and I ended up screaming at the top of my voice because as I turned around a man all dressed up made me jump (I was very embarrased!), at leastit was a laugh before what we thoght was going to be a scary London Dungeon day!

LONDON DUNGEON. SATAN'S GROTTO!!!

1.THE NEVER ENDING WAIT
Before venturing into the Dungeon's we had a cigarrete to calm down the nerves. On the outside was a very bloody looking snowman (found it quite entertaining). We went inside to find a massive queue wating in a what seemed to be a type of graveyard with snow, a few robins and a statue that spat water as you walked past. This massive queue was to get your photo taken before paying the entrance, they place you on a stock. So you can imagine Me, Mad Sister in Law, Girl Mate with our heads in the three spaces and Big Brother and Guy Mate with axes. Unwanted but fun. So we carried on after paying 20 odd pounds for three of us as the other two got in free thanks to discount tickets you can get in travelling stations. We ended up in another massive queue, it was in a big room with skeletons and stories of London on the walls, also the toilets were there (coffins on the door that said R.I.P on them, which I found quite amusing).

2.SATANS GROTTO!
When it finally got to our turn we saw a woman dressed up as the devil! She said herself to be Lucifer, Satan's wife which was a Big Mistake as Lucifer is one of the Devil's many names, Veronica is the name of the Satan's wife so I was disappointed.

3.THE WALKTHROUGH!
After the disappointing Satan's Grotto we walked through a maze of mirrors (very confusing and fun!), then a woman took us further on and explained a bit about the plague (also known as the black death) from the 17th century. Then we went into a room with a man examening a body that later on jumped up and we were rushed to the boats.

4.THE RIVER OF DOOM!
Basically it is a boat ride that you have to wait 1/2 an hour before you can get onto a 8 seater boat. A very bored girl pressed the button, you'd have expecteed her to at least try to look like she's enjoying her job. We went through this dark underground tunnel, at the end of it we went up this rail (Mad Sister in Law and I thought we were going to get drenched as we were in the front row) but in turned around and went down backwards so Girl Mate and Guy Mate got wet!

5.THROUGH LONDON STREETS.
We got down off the boat and were taken into the court room where they pleaded us guilty so we were sent to Sweeny Todds hair salon. Virtual haircut, it was brilliant!!! We were then sent to the streets of London and found out about the Fire of London and Jack the Ripper. It ended in a pub where Jack the Ripper appeared.

6.THE HANGING!
We were taken to be hung. It basically is a free fall ride, so if you have heart problems, bad back or serious vertigo I tell you to take the other exit.

7.THE PHOTO SHOP!
Overly expensive and the people who work there are sour. Mad Sister in Law tried to take a photo of the screens. Ended up getting told off.

So it is a great day out full of fun and laughs. Not too scary! Every now and then it changes so not the same always.

Summary: A Brilliant day out
