点评:Much like those huge metal horses in Scotland, this must-see attraction is easily accessible when passing through and provides for a perfect 2-9 minute break in your journey. The main sight is best experienced directly from your vehicle and in both directions. I strongly recommend disabling start/stop technology in one direction so as to feel the idling of your engine (if. Non-EV) which would have been commonplace for the early visitors from c.2015.
Things to look out for:
- their is an integrated light show, operational 24/7, though the best colour combination of red and amber is only active for 2.6% of the time. There is an air of excitement palpable at this time, as this signals both the start of a heartwarming green-lit phase, and allows visitors to transition between viewpoints.
- try to visit at night, to best experience the light shows intensity.
- don’t miss out on sounds. This varies between an industrial rumble during the day, to the sound of distant birds on an evening.
- a siren-type sound can be activated along with a rare blue-lit flashing light shows variation, if you are lucky enough to arrive at the right time and choose to combine this with a decision to change viewpoints prior to the green-lit show. This costs either £60 or 3-points on your licence but is worth it.
- the facility may close down by 2035 so expect significant queues during peak hours as pressure to visit before decommissioning increases
- do not recommend the free fast-access queue jumper pass as this restricts you to the lower level only, where views of the light show are minimal and fleeting.
翻译:就像苏格兰那些巨大的金属马一样,这个必看景点在经过时很容易到达,并为您的旅途提供 2-9 分钟的完美休息时间。最好直接从您的车辆上双向欣赏主要景观。我强烈建议在一个方向上禁用启动/停止技术,以便感受到发动机的空转(如果不是电动汽车),这对于 2015 年左右的早期游客来说很常见。
需要注意的事项:
- 这里有一场综合灯光秀,全天候运行,尽管红色和琥珀色的最佳颜色组合仅在 2.6% 的时间内有效。此时可以感受到一种兴奋的气氛,因为这既标志着令人心旷神怡的绿灯阶段的开始,也允许游客在观景点之间转换。
- 尝试在晚上参观,以最好地体验灯光秀的强度。
- 不要错过声音。这从白天的工业隆隆声到晚上远处鸟儿的声音不等。
- 如果您足够幸运,能够在正确的时间到达,并选择在绿灯亮起之前改变观景台,那么可以激活警报器式声音,同时出现罕见的蓝灯闪烁灯光秀。这需要花费 60 英镑或驾照扣 3 分,但值得。
- 该设施可能会在 2035 年关闭,因此在高峰时段会出现大量排队,因为在退役前参观的压力会增加
- 不建议使用免费的快速通道插队通行证,因为这会将您限制在较低的楼层,在那里欣赏灯光秀的机会很少而且转瞬即逝。
