Thanks for this. I visited 20 yrs ago and loved the creativity, humour and spirit of the machines and attractions in the arcade. Really glad to see its still as magical as a remembered it to be.

Idk if my math is right but am I correct in assuming you visited in 2002?

[@Badahwood]

These are so amazing! Scary and funny. Perfect combination. Brilliant creations.

Tim Hunkin was another inspiration from my youth. He made a series of tv programmes called The Secret Life of Machines that demystified everyday machines. They are all available to watch on UA-cam on Tim’s channel.
