The Doctor Who Experience

[Chess Piece Face]

I just got back to the States from London. The Doctor Who Experience was originally going to be finished by the time of my trip but it has been extended. For those who can't make it, I thought I'd share some pics. Large, so you can see details.

I did my best to stitch together a panorama of 5 shots of the evolution of the Dalek display, but when I shot it I did not have a tripod, so keep that in mind.

I did not take pics of the clothes of each doctor (they also had the outfits of Jack, Martha, possibly others I can't remember.)

The 80's TARDIS set was very, very small. You could probably fit four of them in the 2005 TARDIS interior set.

The "ride" was nice, if brief, and sort of aimed at kids. In several parts Matt Smith appears on a screen and instructs the kids to work controls on a console to save the universe or something. The whole thing was similar to the Star Trek Experience that used to be in Las Vegas.

It's decent, worth going to, if even just for the shop and not the ride. I ended up with a Dalek t-shirt and a TARDIS that makes noises and is supposed to go with the action figures.

I apologize if this has been brought up before but the the search function didn't find anything. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Would be a bit disconcerting for me to see that many Daleks in one place!

"Oh cool, cool, cool, getting cooler, cooler, cooler, coolest, oh no, they ruined it, stupid tellytubby Dalek"

Shame they didn't do the same for the Cybermen as they've gone through more aesthetic changes over the years...

The clips of The Doctor on the ride I hope show up as some kind of DVD extra at some point, I always felt the same about the Clips of Star Trek The Experience which apparently was good, featuring a tasty space battle....yet will probably never be seen again.

That is awesome. Thank you so much for the pictures. And love the shot of Six, with Seven's costume, along with their Tardis set. It's probably good that I won't be able to go. I wouldn't be able to resist playing on the sets.

Don't judge me. :P

That's pretty cool. I've never even heard of this place. What's the deal with it?

WOW. It hurts my heart a little that I can't go to this. It looks awesome.

Thanks for posting these marvellous pictures! I wish I could see the exhibit first-hand.
