Win a Family Ticket to the New London Dungeon AttractionThe London Dungeon has launched a brand new experience for 2010 - ‘Bloody Mary Killer Queen’. To celebrate the Kids London Guide is running a competition with its partner site, Littlelegends, to win one family ticket worth £78. The London Dungeon – one of the most famous London attractions turns the temperature up this year with brand new flaming experience, “Bloody Mary Killer Queen”, featuring one of England’s most feared rulers Mary Tudor, the deadliest daughter of Henry VIII. London Dungeon guests are transported to London - 1556, entering Bloody Mary’s private chapel where the Catholic Queen is burning Protestants at the stake. Special effects conjure up the screams, sights and overwhelming stench of fiery execution as another helpless “heretic” endures one of the most painful deaths known to man – being slowly burnt alive. For those lucky enough to be spared there is lots more in store from Britain’s most famous scare attraction. With actor-led experiences, special effects and rides there’s a whole attraction full of history’s horrible bits to discover. From the Victorian stomping ground of Jack the Ripper to Sweeney Todd’s barber shop and London’s bloodiest operating theatre there’s plenty of twisted humour and frightening fun to be seen.
