Laser Maze at Weston-Super-Mare's Grand Pier - and 'The Crystal Maze'

While on Weston-Super-Mare's Grand Pier we had a chance to play our first ever Laser Maze!

As big fans of Laser Tag (and all manner of other amusements) we couldn't wait to give it a go.

It's quite like playing one of the dreaded 'Automatic Lock-In' games on The Crystal Maze, in that you have to reach a target at one end of the room and return to touch another button to complete the task, all in the fastest possible time, and without breaking any of the Laser Beams!

I managed to beat Emily with a score of 399.4 to 427.0.

The Grand Pier is also home to 'The Crystal Maze'! Unfortunately it only shares its name with the brilliant TV Show and is not the same as the 'Cyberdrome' Crystal Maze Games (such as the one we played in Narbeth, Wales in 2009).

Piers visited on our Lincolnshire & Norfolk Seaside Tour

On our seaside and minigolf road trip along the Lincolnshire and Norfolk coast we managed to visit two 'new' Piers - at Cleethorpes & Skegness - and also visit the amusement arcade in what remains of Hunstanton Pier.

Looking at the Coast Magazine 'Pier Prom Tick List', of the 51 surviving Piers in the UK, we've now visited 34 of them on our travels since 2006! We have also visited five other closed Piers (or their remains) - Hastings, Brighton West, Colwyn Bay, New Brighton & Hunstanton.
