Ooh, where to begin...
First of all, it was really REALLY crowded and there were some exceptionally dumb people behind us who called Hobbits, 'Muggles' and could not tell the difference between a hunting knife and a sword. But I digress.

It was a big, long, glorious walk-through type thing and along the way there were cases with props from the movie, such as weaponry and jewelry and various variousities. You name it, they had it! The mithril vest was beautiful! And they had the One Ring near the end!

So you went through all these rooms that were themed and decorated as places from the movie, they had Fangorn Forest (with fake trees and artificial fog, but well done), the Golden Hall (complete with fire pit and carved columns), Helm's Deep, Orthanc, and basically everywhere else. In some places they had up whole sets as they were in the movie, such as Saruman's office-thing (he's very messy, books everywhere!).
They also had strategically placed TVs with snippets from the movie.

Then at the end, there was drumroll a gift shop. With a whole lot of really random stuff, such as LotR Sour Gummies. But they also had some really nice elven-type clothing, and Losth and I bought shirts. All in all, a tiring but good day.

Oh, for some sort of teleportation device so you all could have come! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
