Anyone been to the carnival at the SECC?

[ElizabethWakefield]

I am planning on going tomorrow, but the website seems to be down just now, so I was wondering if anyone had been yet this year?

If so I know that entry is £10 which is tickets for 4 rides, but is it still £10 in if you have no intention of going on any rides?

Thanks

i have, i have! i was there today. it's a tenner for ten tokens, which is more or less ten rides. the hoopla etc is two tokens.
you'd have to pay, i'm afraid, even if you're not going on anything. although if you were heavily pregnant i'd imagine you'd get away with it as you wouldn't be allowed on most of the rides. so pay up or pillow up the jumper.

oh, and kids over three have to pay as well. although we told the woman that we were only going to be able to stay an hour and begged not to pay for four year old dd and she let us off.

Ah great thank you, I have no idea why I thought the entry price would pay for 4 rides. 10 sounds good.

I have eaten so much over the past few days that I could possibly claim to be pregnant without the pillow but i will just pay up.

The kids can split the adults tokens between then. Although on of our kids will be 4 too, might try your begging technique!

okay, good. we had a right laugh, i must say. just check the throwing games, for example you have to knock the stupid milk bottles right off the platform not just knock them over.
we went on the death drop thing, that'll test your pelvic floor... and some spinny things and dodgems etc. queueing was okaaaaaaay, not hellish but not great for adult stuff. most wee kids things you could walk onto.
if you have tokens left over go to the duck catching thing, everyone wins at that. we got three purple glittery cowboy hats, leaving three very satisfied junior customers.

Glad to here that queueing wasn't too bad, last year we queued well over an hour for the ghost train and when we got near the front the kids decided that they didn't really fancy it, but I dragged them on

Cowboy hats sound good, I think we will be giving the ducks a go at the end.

Thanks again, just about to head off, woohooo

the ghost train, my sils informed me, was SHITE.
have a great time.

We went last year with ds who was only 18 months at the time - had a ball.

As Aitch says - £10 each, although we didnt have to pay for ds, so had 20 tokens to use.

Much better value than the rip off helter skelter in George square - £4 for dh and ds
to go on

Aitch - Do you know whether its open on NY day? Also - we went to see Little Red Riding Hood yesterday - it was fab - thanks for reccomending it. Ds loved it, definately be going back next year!

Also if you do go, I would reccomend going for it opening - think its 12, as its usually quieter then - starts to get busy from 2pm?

We went yesterday, about 1 it was fairly quite.

We had 3 adults and an 9, 7 and 4 yr old. As the adults weren't really planning on going on anything, we passed our 4 yr old off as an under 3, as that meant the kids still had 50 tickets between 3 of them!

We had a good time, the kids had a ball, and I agree it is really good value. Especially as we used a kidz card for our older 2 and got entry for £5 but still got 10 tokens.

I think it is opened on NY day.
