Madame Tussauds
Madam Tussauds is one of the famous attraction in London, which displays waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers. It opened in 1835 in London, it has expanded with over 10 branches in some other countries. I've never visited Madam Tussauds, because I'm not interested in it, but it might be a nice attraction for some people.
I read the article on website about Madam Tussauds Tokyo. It will open from 30 September to 4 January 2012, at Decks Tokyo Beach in Odaiba. This reminded me of one article on the Guardian newspaper of last month. It was about "a guide to Britain's worst days out (on bank holiday)". It said one of the Britain's worst tourist attractions is Madam Tussauds because the ticket is expensive. It cost £28.80 for adult, £24.60 for child and £99.00 for family (ticket on the day price). It's definitely expensive, you can buy an anti-aging special cream for skin. It said that "Madam Tussauds' fault that it charges nearly £30 for an adult ticket to view what amount to novelty candles, making the attraction one of the few places where a slow-burning fire would be welcome." They listed as the fatal attractions Stonehenge, Wiltshire and Nudist beach, Brighton as well.
I think it's a little more than writer's view, because the definition of fun varies from person to person. Just as with antiques, it might be junk for some people and worth for some other. For some kids, people who are interested in celebrities or who wants to be a special makeup artist etc, it might be a dream world. But the article was quite interesting. I assume people who most enjoy Madam Tussauds are those people who become models themselves, in their lifetimes.
