great vlog. personally with the blackpool madam tussauds, I know the waxworks wasn't as good but I preferred it when was Loius as felt they had more waxworks and loved the dungeon aspect to it as well
I was expecting A-list Hollywood and instead you get Alison Hammond and some UA-camrs I've never heard of. I can laugh watching this, but wouldn't be too chuffed if I'd paid to get in!
The arcade area did use to be an interactive game and a lazer maze you could time yourself to go through. Can also lift up the taxi for an added photo shoot.
Excellent Vlog, been to Florida loads and been to there one a few times on International Drive and its fantastic no paying for photos or made to take photos to view later and pay. Went here about 10 years ago and was taking photos with my children with some of the wax characters but getting told you have to get your picture taken by a photographer in There or you can’t take any. It was a rip off. Same with another is Ripleys believe it or not. Florida lets you interact at your leisure but Blackpool they wanted you to pay for photos or you had to enter money in a machine for it to work. Keep up the great work 👍
Brillant vlog wanted to go here think deffo have little trip there :) thank you brillant vlog :) meet jack few times when they came into cruz couple times back in late 00s when was working there :)
Me and my hubby went in 2019, a lot of the same figures are there though a couple have gone since I noticed and some have moved. I just missed out on the Strictly exhibit opening by a few weeks (unlike you, I am a fan haha!), which was annoying. We enjoyed it as something different to do. We wouldn't normally go for the old upsale with the photos but we did get one with the Spiderman bit and it does look pretty good to be honest. Nice keepsake/memory! Thanks for the video!
War nicht schlecht!!! Habe aber einige vermisst. Wie zum Beispiel in der königlichen Familie... Lady Diana. Freue mich auf London 💖. Habe noch eine schöne Advents Zeit. Thank you Darren ❣️👋🏻👋🏻
Hi there. I worked there from 2005 -2019 in the studio, so seen the best of both owners. When Merlin took over in 2010 i was ordered to smash all the Corrie heads on the orders of some "top" people. But all the others are / were kept boxed up in the disussed horror section. Glad i dont work there now, not too many new figures, the layout has changed and it seems empty and sterile. Plus it's gone a bit "tacky". Thanks for showing and posting this. 🙂
Seeing as there is only about one figure I know in there I would not go. I don't watch any reality shows or soaps or strictly UA-cam has far more for me to watch than TV these days.
Forgot to mention... I was wearing a shell suit as well 😂😂 Loved your photos from the past. You looked like you should've been in a boy band... where does that seem familiar 🤔
Oh eck - madame tussauds - that's where I lost my trousers many years ago - big queue to go into the london one - felt something tickling my leg each time the queue moved forward - there was a loose thread at the bottom of my trouser leg and as the queue moved they were trampling on it and pulling it more undoing the seam all up one leg and down the other - -then suddenly my trousers were flapping in the breeze like I just had a belt on - glad I had something on underneath - mums friend took her coat off and wrapped me in it - we went to a clothes shop and me and mum were in the changing room and as she bent down to put new trousers on me she fell backwards through the changing room door
It is worth the price only if you buy the multi attraction tickets. On its own it doesn't offer much. Before thecrevamp (90s) it was a lot better with it extra medical section and horror section. Half the people there I didn't recognise as im not in to soaps and reality tv
I have always thought the phenomenon of paying to see wax models of celebrities a strange one and is completely lost on me. Best one I've been in was in Italy with weird statues of unknown people and very creepy. Now that was worth seeing.
I went to the black pool one back when I was 18..am 50 now...remember thinking some of them looked terrible lol..good tomsee it's improved..is the chamber of horrors still underneath?..good to see you darren 👍
I Rembert going to Liverpool a few years back and passing the Beatles museum, the wife said "shall we go and look" I said "maybe" until looked at the prices at which point I said "I wouldn't go in even if John Lennon was down there playing his guitar" some places just outprice themselves. 😲
Thanks, Darren. I don't know why you haven't moved to Blackpool yet, you seem to have spent half the year there! Madame Tussauds isn't really my thing, so thanks for saving me the admission fee. It's not my cup of tea, but it was a good watch. Thanks again. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season. Here's to more great videos in 2025. 👍
I remember going to Louis Tussauds in the early 70s when they had the chamber of horrors in the cellar which featured a realistic motorway crash and famous murderers from the past. As you said it is now closed. Ive been recently and think its crap. I don't know modern so called personalities these days. I won't be going again.
Hi Darren, christ place looked empty. Very limited on stars . No Hollywood legends no mega pop stars . Yes up charge are disgusting to . But 14 pounds seems ok . I done London's over 20 yrs ago with the planetarium, not sure how much its changed now .
Just by chance I saw this come up, been subscribed for ages but this video didn't come up on my subscriptions at all...I've unsubscribed and resubscribed, see if that fixes it.
Can't stand Strictly either..or I'm a Celeb. Feels a bit lacking in actual waxworks with lots of wasted space. Rovers Return is cute , but again just a handful of characters. I'll pass.
I arent a Strictly fan either.Can't stand Craig Revel Horwood,he's too over the top.Madame Taussauds looks interesting but its not worth the money they charge.Thankyou for the video.

Deidre and Ken, but no Tracy? Oh, she'd be upstairs at home doing her homework! lol.... Nah, think I'll pass on visiting that, Great vlog, though 🙂
Haven’t been to Blackpool Tussauds since the late 70s. There used to be a crash scene, which was very harrowing.
Yeah that was at the Louis Tussauds. The knock off one, which had more going for it.
Blimey Darren, you are doing some miles around the place making videos.
Hat off Sir Darren 🫡😃
Jack Duckworth was brilliant 😁😁
Brillant vlog wanted to go here think deffo have little trip there :) thank you brillant vlog :) meet jack few times when they came into cruz couple times back in late 00s when was working there :)

Very interesting. Shame they never used the basement level. Could be so much better if they gutted the building and built a new layout.
Great vlog mr very nice new models and nice 👍 more wax works vlogs to come ok
Seeing as there is only about one figure I know in there I would not go. I don't watch any reality shows or soaps or strictly UA-cam has far more for me to watch than TV these days.
The only Madame Tussauds I've been to was in the 90s in London. I have a photo of me posing in front of Dudley Moore and his piano 😂 I feel old! 😂😂
Dudley Moore haha
Forgot to mention... I was wearing a shell suit as well 😂😂 Loved your photos from the past. You looked like you should've been in a boy band... where does that seem familiar 🤔

I am the same.Can,'t stand Strictly or I'm A Celeb either.Madame Taussauds is is never worth the money.Emmerdale isn't bad but I can't stand Corrie.
We went there 3 weeks ago during strictly and some of the wax works have gone I'm sure and some have moved around it seems

Great vlog Darren I am with you I Defo do not like the upcharge I know I am from Leeds but Defo a no no
I went to the black pool one back when I was 18..am 50 now...remember thinking some of them looked terrible lol..good tomsee it's improved..is the chamber of horrors still underneath?..good to see you darren 👍
Not it's not anymore
Sat in the bar 3 weeks ago and had a pint
To be honest I wouldn't pay £21.50 even if the celebrities in there were real :)
I Rembert going to Liverpool a few years back and passing the Beatles museum, the wife said "shall we go and look" I said "maybe" until looked at the prices at which point I said "I wouldn't go in even if John Lennon was down there playing his guitar" some places just outprice themselves. 😲

Only been once this year. All filmed over three days lol
I miss the "Chamber of Horrors" and the anatomical collection (worth the extra fee. I wonder what happened to it ? )
Still there. Just locked up
I prefer it before Merlin got it, I liked horror down stairs when I was a kid, glad it’s free with the Merlin pass
The Madam Tussauds at Icon park Orlando really puts this one to shame.
I remember going to Louis Tussauds in the early 70s when they had the chamber of horrors in the cellar which featured a realistic motorway crash and famous murderers from the past. As you said it is now closed. Ive been recently and think its crap. I don't know modern so called personalities these days. I won't be going again.
I thought I was the only one that hated Strictly 😂 I've been to both the Blackpool & London Tussauds and Londons is miles better
Yeah most definitely
I think you should do a video bout dewsbury.
What about Dewsbury?
Pity they didn’t save the waxworks from Great Yarmouth. I would have paid a fortune to see them.
Yeah I heard about those 😁
21.50 explains why its dead lol
We go in every year but we get half price tickets off chocolate bars so it's ok wouldn't pay full price
Hi Darren, christ place looked empty. Very limited on stars . No Hollywood legends no mega pop stars . Yes up charge are disgusting to . But 14 pounds seems ok . I done London's over 20 yrs ago with the planetarium, not sure how much its changed now .
Just by chance I saw this come up, been subscribed for ages but this video didn't come up on my subscriptions at all...I've unsubscribed and resubscribed, see if that fixes it.
Same here
Yeah UA-cam is weird with things like that these days
Happened to me as well
they should make a wax model of you there
Nice to know u no jack p Sheppard he's a great person off screen nice 1 hour vlog London is better and France
no it was not worth the money it looks crap thank you for showing us it Darren
Definitely some questionable wax works there 😂
House of Wax
No waxwork of yourself Darren? No opportunities to hug you and get your photo taken? That's it - I'm not going!
Went there 4 yrs ago and it was ok...just ok. It looks more rubbish now than when I went. Seems a bit sparce of exhibitions tbh.
Can't stand Strictly either..or I'm a Celeb. Feels a bit lacking in actual waxworks with lots of wasted space. Rovers Return is cute , but again just a handful of characters. I'll pass.
I love waxworks but, Madame Tussaud’s is def not worth the money.
I arent a Strictly fan either.Can't stand Craig Revel Horwood,he's too over the top.Madame Taussauds looks interesting but its not worth the money they charge.Thankyou for the video.
Great video, but Tussauds holds zero interest for me, not watched TV for years so no clue who most of the wax works are.
No.
