Has anyone gone to Madam Tussauds wax museum? — Page 2

Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt. Tom, was that enough Matts?

Matt, there was no attack on Corine in this thread. There had been a plethora of different Corines posting on the board last night. Dolly made reference to that fact.

Now I consider an attack to be something akin to throwing a Playbill at a youngster. Tell us again how that worked for you.

And by the way, the Playbill attack was the only thing that worked in that situation after several peaceful attempts to end the distrbance had been tried. Some people simply don't respond to anything but physical action. Especially teens.

The one in London is great because of the history behind it. Otherwise I think it's kind of silly and puzzling as to why it's so popular.

But at least in London, you get the Chamber of Horrors, with the actual blade used to decapitate Marie Antoinette, plus Marie and Louis' "death masks" taken by Tussaud herself, after the grizzly incident.

I'm not sure whether it's to everyone's (or anyone's!) taste to see that, but there it is... and it's real... and it's really creepy.

But other than the Chamber of Horrors, Madame Tussauds felt like a combo of a Chuck E. Cheese and a cheap amusement park. Especially the end, when you get on this ride in little cabby cars that takes you around an abbreviated, insane history of London. Each "era" is represented by a thematic room. Victoria's was full of cogs and wheels representing the industrial age, so it seems. But when they got to Elizabeth II's "current" era, it was literally a CIRCUS. Complete with freaky clowns and a large, disturbing carousel. And there was her waxy self, smiling and waving in the middle of it! I wonder what that says to the Queen about her "times?" I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of her getting really upset by this symbolic depiction. And I can't say I wouldn't blame her for getting mad if she chose to... but there it is, for all locals and tourists alike to see!

Tussauds is a strange place... but I'm glad I went, at least once. Probably not again, though. There were too many screaming kids running around.

calvin, I am sure you meant the Queen, for the one who ran away....

He barely deserves the title of scullery maid.

Me and "Bono" at Madame Tussaud's

I've only ever been to the one in Las Vegas, and it was free, so I thought it was fun. (We had a coupon.)

I wouldn't go again, though, and I don't think it;s worth $30.
