How long is it worth queuing?

First Time - 20 Mins
Repeat Ride - 20 Mins

      The Tea Cups are situated in Merrie England alongside all the stalls in arguably the busiest place in the whole park so the queues are usually around the 20 minutes mark. The attraction itself is a normal, standard Tea Cup ride themed with a thatched roof to add the Merrie 'England' theme of the area. Although the ride does not give an adrenaline pumping thrill ride like Nemesis or Oblivion it makes a nice, relaxing end to a busy and frantic day.
