Today, I went with my parents, sister, brother-in-law and (most importantly) my nephew to see Thomas The Tank Engine at the Dean Forest Railway.
The work that went into presenting something exciting for the kids was so evident.
Apart from stalls and small rides, children (and their parents/guardians) were able to go for a ride on a carriage pulled by Thomas himself, have complete freedom to catch any of the trains on the lines, race Daisy Diesel against another train and they even carried out a fantastic little play where a nasty diesel engine stole Thomas' trailers while he was sleeping which resulted in The Fat Controller instructing Thomas to go and get his trailers back, something he dutifully did.
Fantastic stuff.
Speaking of which, almost upstaging Thomas The Tank Engine was the incredible Fat Controller who patiently had his photo taken with kids of all ages (some were as old as 33!), sweltering in a suit that could have easily doubled as an ecologically friendly oven. Even by the end of the day, he was smiling! Well done Mr. Fat Controller Dude! You rock!
All I can say is I fully recommend that anybody with kids goes to see an even where Thomas The Tank Engine is to appear. If it's half as good as this, your kids will adore it and love you forever because you took them!
Yes, my nephew liked it too ;-)
