The queues were enormous even at the time I arrived at 8:30am. It had just started to rain and everyone was stoically waiting in line getting damper and damper. There were a load of people in costume waiting patiently for the doors to open and then getting out of the rain. A lot of very geeky t-shirts were being worn. A Lot more were begin sold inside.
When, at nine, the doors were finally opened and the flood of people was enormous. This then continued for hours for just the early bird people.
Onwards to the people who weren’t as lucky.
