Bumper cars were great fun, my fiance spent most of the night causing injuries to firends all night :) the cars can seat two people..maybe not comfortably though, lol.
Games were of a good selection, although some were not in perfect working order, bad screens or gun aiming etc (no it wasn't me, lol)
Moving simulator driving games were brilliant fun although could get very warm in there with the high ambient temperature which added to the nauseus feeling if you got a bit carreid away.
Mini bowling felt a bit unusual but for fun played well - pretty hard to get strikes as detection didn't always see the last pin drop and stood it back up- so you got a second shot!! -good or bad, your choice!!lol.
Winning prizes from the tickets a lot of machines dispensed added a nice extra dimension although getting enough tickets for a decent prize was difficult!! wham bars were a plenty :)
The pool tables looked in good condition and set in a nice area, with a alcohol dispensing bar and comfortable seating and nicely low-lit area, unfortunately I was unable to play as they stop handing out the cues at 11pm and it was 11:03pm when we went for a few games :(
Drinks and change machines were a plenty and relatively cheap.
Toilet facilities were definately adequate for the males which I saw. Cannot comment on the female -sorry. aha My fiance comments that the female toilets were alright and no ques so she was very happy!
All in all a place you'd need a few visits to try everything and give each thing a good try.
The staff were very good and pleasant and did not cause any ill feeling to anyone I know who spoke with them. The lady behind the ticket prize counter was a good laugh when we were looking for fun gifts for the birthday boy with the measly tickets we had won a few mins earlier on the basketball shooting game :)
Some of the prize grabbing machines were very hard/impossible and others were difficult, but i did get my fiance a nice DOPEY toy, although not sure how much it cost me, lol.
All in all a good night if you like these games and are with a decent group of nice people, which I was lucky to be.
I would definately go back there in the same situation again. as we went as a booked party (£30 per head with buffet, free drink, and various tokens included), with a small seating area cordened off near bar and the buffet provided was of very high standard.
I reluctantly don't give the venue the full 5 stars as it got very warm. The tokens you can use as 50pence pieces were a pain to get the machines to take sometimes.
I also believe the dispensed tickets should be harder to obtain and worth more.
Will be going back. read more
