I went to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, Wales today. A small group of us hopped on a National Express bus and snoozed uncomfortably for four hours, but we made it into Cardiff. We managed to figure out where to get on a city bus that would take us to the Experience, and after a few false starts, THERE WE WERE!
As geeked out as I was about the Harry Potter tour, this was just as good. Better in some ways. Harry Potter was like coming home, remembering something I didn't realize I'd missed so much; this was an all out, geektastic adventure.
Much like the Harry Potter Tour it began with a video introduction, and when that wrapped up, our group was herded into the TARDIS! I already had goosebumps, but then I got to help drive the thing, and geeked out harder. And then, we landed, and were herded into another room... I got shivers when, as I walked down this dark hallway, I heard "Exterminate!" being shouted from every direction, and then came face to face with a Dalek in a new room. I made it through that alive, but quickly had to test my ability not to blink moments later. Based on the fact that I'm writing this now, I'm clearly not displaced in time, so that's good.
Here are some highlights from the exhibit following the experience:
