Lego figures at Legoland, Windsor
Legoland doesn’t always get a favourable reviews and in part this is down to the extensive queue times for the rides. Follow our handy hints to beat the queues as Legoland, Windsor:
Get there early; an obvious point although many people do not realise that Legoland opens at 9.30am on busy days and this can give you an added advantage. Check out what time the park opens on your day and aim to be there 40 minutes before that! That gives you time to park up, purchase your tickets, , and join the queue for the park to open. The turnstiles open about 30 minutes before the park opens, allowing you into The Beginning area so you can be at the front of the queue as the park opens.
Q Bots; at an additional cost a Q Bot will allow you to virtual queue for your rides rather than actually stand in the real queue! For more information about Q Bots go to Q Bots; your questions answered.
Miss the Hill Train; it’s quicker to walk and misses the first queue of the day!
The largest queues at Legoland;the largest queues build for The Dragon, Pirate Falls, Vikings River Splash & Laser Raiders for older kids as well as the Driving School for younger children. To beat the queues, it’s worth heading straight for The Dragon & Pirate Falls at the far edge of the park and working backwards to complete the busiest rides first. The first 60/90 minutes of the day is the best time to get round the main attraction rides before the queues start to build.
Money no object; then check out a Q-Bot Express. At £40 per person , (peak price),this Q-Bot works in the same way as the basic Q-Bot except you don’t have to have completed one ride to book another but can reserve rides as you wish. This gives you unlimited access to all the rides listed in Q-Bot but at a price!
Good luck!
