Aug A review and explanation of the Qbot system at Legoland Windsor. We will answer the question of whether or not it is worth the money. We also look at some of the limitations and the mechanics of how they system works. Q Bot is an overly complicated ride reservation and fast tracked hybrid system with several different tiers at Legoland Windsor in the UK. It took us some time to get our heads around it.
Think of the lower tiers as more of a queue reservation system while think of the upper tier as a fast track or fast path system clear as mud eh?! If you use a Q bot regular than a virtual you will be put at the back of that hour-long queue. Here the virtual you has been added into the queue. It will move along the queue as if you are physically there. After an hour, the virtual Q bot you has gotten to the front of the queue. Your count down on your Qbot device will be zero.
It this point you go to the Q Bot gate and the attendant will check your device. They will then let you into the queue.
Great Western has made the process as simple as possible by teaming up with local bus companies so that you buy a combined train and bus ticket to Legoland on their site. It will be easier to follow the brown signs. These are the exits you need to use from the main motorways.
Legoland Parking tickets can be bought on arrival but you may have to queue. Legoland opening times are generally 10 am — 5 pm during the week and 10 am — 6 pm at weekends and during the school holidays. The best thing is to check on their site for ticket prices for the day you want to visit. In general and with no discounts when you buy on the gate, prices are:. If you are visiting Legoland just with a toddler aged under 4, there are better rates available.
This is valid for term time visits during the week and must be bought one day in advance. Additional toddlers under 90cm are free.
If your children are all under 90 cm then they go free and it may not seem like an expensive day out but as soon as they hit 90 cm, the costs skyrocket. Luckily, there are usually Legoland offers to be found to bring the cost down significantly.
They include discounts off parking, food, the gift shop and Legoland Hotels. The Scarab Bouncer at the Kingdom of the Pharaohs. There are 12 different areas in Legoland Windsor. If you have an idea of the rides you would like to do, make sure that you plan your route. It saves a lot of walking if you are methodical with selecting the rides. This is obviously subject to change depending on the waiting times on the rides you have selected as you might want to skip some and come back to them.
Miniland — Miniland is at the heart of the park and consists of the major landmarks around the world, all made out of bricks — over 40 million of them! We loved watching the Eurostar travelling from London to Paris through the tunnel. Imagination — an area for learning and fun with 4D movies and Lego building. Kingdom of the Pharaohs — visit Egypt and one of our favourite rides — the Laser Raiders!
Heartlake City — Legoland Express starts here and you can watch a pirate stunt show. Pirate Shores — for pirate adventures and boat rides. Land of the Vikings — spinning water rides and spider. London scene in Miniland at Legoland Windsor. Take a look at the map and try to work out where each of the main rides and attractions are that you want to try during your visit. Now you have your ticket, you can get planning. There are over 55 rides to check out aimed at children between 3 and 12 years old.
Something you need to be aware of before you go is that there are height restrictions on the rides. The main height restriction is 0. This means that out of the 55 rides and attractions, only certain rides are suitable for under 0. There is plenty to keep you busy during the day though as you need to factor in walking between rides, queue times, lunchtime and all the other attractions. On any school holiday or weekend it would be nearly impossible to see all of the park in one day without it.
That could add up for you. QBot only works if you can connect to the park WiFi or if you can get network at all. Unfortunately we had a serious problem finding WiFi or network or even obtaining a device. Our qBot was based on an accessibility pass; my child could not manage to queue even to collect her pass 35min after pre-registration, it was all stressful from the start.
