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).
A blog about our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. With a sprinkling of nostalgia and urban exploration for good measure.

Dead Mans Cove Pirate Shooting Shack on Weston-Super-Mare's Grand Pier
On Weston-Super-Mare's Grand Pier I got to have a play on one of my all-time favourite seaside amusements - The Shooting Shack. This time it was a Pirate-themed Gallery.
I managed to rack up a score of 300, I believe this is an all-time Personal Best!
Other Seaside Shooting Shacks visited and played on our travels.

Crazy Hills Putting Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf Course in Weston-Super-Mare
A visit to the Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf course in Weston-Super-Mare.
The third and final Miniature Golf course we played in Weston-Super-Mare on Sunday 17th July 2011 was the Crazy Hills Putting Arnold Palmer Crazy Golf Course on Knightstone Road.
The course became the 261st course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
The 18-hole course is of the Arnold Palmer Putting variety (my favourite type) and was in great condition.
However, my game was not in tip-top shape and Emily thrashed me 42 to 48 to seal a decisive 132-141 victory in the race for the 2011 Weston-Super-Mare Pennant title that we played for over the day.
Emily also picked up the special Crazy Hills Putting Trophy for her Round Win.
It wasn't all bad news for me though as I did win a FREE GAME on the TOP HOLE!
After having a bit of a wander around to try and find signs of the Putting Green course that was also supposed to be on Knightstone Road (now turned into a playground), and a very nice meal at The Grove Bistro, we returned to the course for another round.
This time I won - but only by one-shot, hitting a 43 to Emily's 44!

Fella's Crazy Golf in Weston-Super-Mare - Miniature Golf Course Played #260
The second Miniature Golf course played in Weston-Super-Mare was the 14-hole Fella's Crazy Golf which is just opposite the Grand Pier.
The course was Open and ready for me and Emily to face-off in the next stage of the Weston-Super-Mare Pennant contest.
The course charged £1.60 a round for Adults...
And, in a Crazy World of Minigolf Tour first, also charged an extra 30p if you wanted a scorecard and pen to score your game!
The course was the 260th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up Emily defeated me 39 to 43, and also took the lead in the Weston-Super-Mare Pennant contest as we headed off to play the third and final round!
