Doctor Who Experience – Review/Pictures
Doctor Who Experience – Review/Pictures
As we all know today saw the first of 3 Doctor Who Experience preview days before the official opening on Sunday 20th February.
Tickets for the show are on sale now through www.doctorwhoexperience.com and watch out soon for a dedicated merchandise shop. You can also keep up to date via the Doctor Who Experience Twitter page.
The first thing to say is that we are not going to spoil anything of the experience itself here that isn’t already known – needless to say the less you know about it the more you will enjoy it! Its terrific fun, has a great ending and a few scares and surprises along the way. Its common knowledge that you spend a while in the 11th Doctors Tardis – worth most of the entrance fee alone. Photography is not allowed in the experience itself – understandable as it needs to be seen, heard and felt first hand and unspoilt.
Once you have finished your “your trip of a lifetime” you are greeted by an astonishing array of Monsters and villains from the Classic and new series. Photography is unrestricted here and below is a very extensive gallery of what’s on show but again don’t view this if you don’t want to know what’s there. The dedication and effort to bring such a collection together cannot be understated.
As any one who has been today will surely tell you its a credit to all involved and not to be missed and if you cant get to London then its in Cardiff next year.

There is an on-site shop which has a wide selection of merchandise although it was disappointing that an entire wall dedicated to the shows “exclusive” merchandise was empty with just a coming soon slogan.
We can also confirm that the advertised Wifi works successfully giving you a whole load of extra information relating to the monsters and aliens at the Doctor Who Experience.

March 1st, 2011 - 8:10amDoes that mean an online store in definite?
It was supposed to be but there is no sign of it at the moment, we left about 3.30 and they only had 4 or 5 Roman Autons left, i gather its much better stocked now

“and watch out soon for a dedicated merchandise shop.”

February 28th, 2011 - 10:58pmBooboo, as i believe, i went to the DWE an hour before you. They were full of Pandorica action figures (i got original release Amy, i reckon she’ll be rare!).
Mind you, i did see a man piling the figures like there’s no tomorrow!

February 21st, 2011 - 9:31amon the official doctor who website, it shows a picture of the smiler at the doctor who experience. is the smiler in the exhibition part or the actual experience?
Its in the experience itself, along with other things. we were asked not to take photos in their ( which a lot of people have anyway i see) as to not spoil things for visitors.

February 20th, 2011 - 3:01pmAre you allowed to touch the new console (11 drs)
booboo
February 20th, 2011 - 1:19pmI saw a video of people going onto the 10th drs TARDIS
The way its designed feels like you are inside it and you can walk around the console but there are metal ( but not intruding) barriers stopping you from touching the console itself.

February 20th, 2011 - 1:14pmI saw a video of people going onto the 10th drs TARDIS. Do you get to or are they strict about that too?

February 19th, 2011 - 6:34pmLots of DVD’s, virtually everything available. New series novels, Wow and Wesco items (mugs were selling well) and Character figures and sets ( a lot of Tardis playsets, christams set etc), Pandorica wave was very badly stocked when we went, only roman autons left on the first day and no general series 5 figures except the Paradigm Daleks at all. Very disappointed that the exclusive merchandise wasn’t there, just a large empty wall, we went with money to spend and didn’t buy a thing. A lot of Scifi Collector items like the ex corgi Die-cast figures, Die-cast dalek, cyberman and Tardis and Torchwood figures ( there were more Torchwood figures there that new series figures!) They didnt seem to be restocking so image parts of it may look pretty thin on the ground but now.
