Waxworks of the famous and infamous plus a dark ride, 'The Spirit of London', which provides a whistlestop tour of London's history in a truncated 'time taxi'. 'Premiere Night' is an area in which contemporary stars including Harrison Ford and Sean Connery mingle with legendary icons such as Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, in a glitzy Hollywood hotel foyer. In 'Blush', visitors enter via a paparazzi-thronged red carpet and are beamed onto a big screen before rubbing shoulders with models of Madonna, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lopez. Chamber Live is a Live-action experience in which actors play Cage Man, The Man in the Mask, Hatchet Harry and other unpleasant characters on the run from a maximum-security prison for serial killers. Includes floor drops and sound, light and visual effects. Not suitable for under-12s or those of a nervous disposition. A new attraction, 'Aardman presents the wonderful world of stars,' is a 20min film by Aardman Animations projected inside the building's domed ceiling. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' is also new. Visitors can climb aboard and explore a pirate ship decked with waxworks of Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom. Recent additions to the pantheon include Barack Obama and a new figure of the late Michael Jackson.
