Shows, Shops and Restaurants
- Although I didn't manage to visit all of these in two days, here is some information
on those that I did visit.
Outpost Grill
This restaurant is basically a 'slightly' smarter Burger King, outdoors, in
a rickety old building. Unless you have to, don't bother eating here. The food's
not bad, you can get some kebabs and things, but for a decent meal you should
go elsewhere.
This restaurant would be fine for something like
a mid-day snack-meal.

Adventurers' Depot
A great, great shop, even better if you like the Adventurers. You can pick
up a ton of unique items, this mannequin shown on the right demonstrates the type
of items, foam sword, leg strap, wallet, backpack and bandanna. You can also get
torches, key-rings and the rest.
The shop also stocks the full range of Adventurers'
models, including those from the original Jungle series and Desert series.
Do not miss this shop, whatever happens.

Dragon Photo
This shop sells you photos, at rip-off prices, of you on the roller-coaster.
A far better idea, which would save you money, would be to do what we did, and
photograph your own picture, like this on the right.
It also means that you get as many copies as you
need.

Mini Castle
The equivalent of the stunt show at Windsor, or is it? Unlike Windsor, this
show is actually funny, great for all ages, includes some genuinely good stunts
and no slapstick comedy. Actually, it's amazing.
For example, at the start, the servant suspended
himself by his feet from the diving board to wash the bottom of it. Another thing
was that the whole play was done without any speech at all, which not only meant
that everybody could understand it, but that there was no "I can't hear youuuuu....."
type entertainment.
It might have changed since I was there, but the
Castle show was definitely the best show there.

The Merchant
This little shop is great for picking up discontinued sets in the Castle series.
I got a Hubble Bubble flying cauldron from the Count Batlord series.

Lego Gold Mine
This little Gold Mine where you can get a memorabilia coin in exchange for
searching for Pyrites Gold in the water with sieves.
I didn't get a go here, as it was raining when we
visited Legoredo, but from experience at Windsor, I can tell you that you should
do it once, and once only. Otherwise you end up with a bedroom full of gold plastic
coins.

Playing Eagle / Baking Bread
Try to get to bake bread here, as the end result is really tasty. The Chief,
Chief Playing Eagle, also seemed happy to have a chat with us. ("My rain
dance worked too well" he said, when we were there in the rain).
Don't bother getting a hat and feather, but if you
must do, certainly don't wear it around the park. They are far too old fashioned.

And the rest...
There are still some shops, shows and restraunts that I saw which are
not mentioned here:
Imagination Theatre - The Life on Mars show here was pretty naff,
and certainly not worth a visit.
Legoredo Shops - Some good shops around here, selling discontinued
Western sets.
Pirate Shop - A good little shop, with the standard array of Pirate
accessories.
