点评:I had already been to the Adam Lookout and decided to also visit This is Holland - wow, how glad I did! At the desk I was warmly welcomed by Federica, who noticed I was limping slightly so offered me a choice to use the lift. Jimbo escorted me to the first floors where you are told about the ways the land was reclaimed from the sea, that it also could be reflooded if necessary, how the windmills and a giant pumping station kept the land safe, also the uses and industries the area supported. These were interesting but I did think 'well, I wonder why did I bother?' I simply did not know what was to come next - up one flight of stairs and into the auditorium where we sat and put on our seat belts, all of which were checked to meke certain they were correct. Then it happened, the lights went down, the screen all around you darkened and the floor went away - you were flying!! Over the sea towards the land, the Netherlands, you flew, the seats lifting and turning as you banked, climbed and dived almost into the places you were flying over. As you flew over the fields you could smell the flowers, over the sea you felt the spray, over the castles you wondered if you would not actually hit them - totally immersive, hugely enjoyable, unbelievable.
It had to come to an end (I think I will if I visit Amsterdam again I will re-visit) so again I was asked to wait a moment and I would be taken down in the lift, really appreciated. In the shop I chatted to Margreet and had a coffee from Thilan - I was really impressed how friendly and willing to talk to me every staff member I met was.
I really do recommend this for any age, I cannot think of anything that has so impressed me and I am mid seventies!!
翻译:我已经去过亚当瞭望台,所以决定也去看看《这就是荷兰》——哇,我真高兴!在前台,我受到了 Federica 的热烈欢迎,她注意到我有点跛脚,于是让我选择使用电梯。Jimbo 陪同我到二楼,在那里,你会了解到这片土地是如何从海中填海造地的,如果有必要,土地也可以重新被淹没,风车和巨型泵站如何保护土地安全,以及该地区的用途和产业。这些都很有趣,但我确实想“好吧,我不知道我为什么要费心呢?”我根本不知道接下来会发生什么——爬上一层楼梯,进入礼堂,我们坐在那里系好安全带,检查所有安全带以确保它们是正确的。然后,灯光熄灭了,你周围的屏幕变暗了,地板消失了——你在飞翔!!飞越大海,飞向陆地,飞向荷兰,座椅随着倾斜、爬升和俯冲而升降,几乎进入飞越的地方。飞越田野,闻到花香;飞越大海,感受浪花;飞越城堡,你会怀疑自己是不是真的会撞上它们——完全沉浸其中,非常愉快,令人难以置信。
它必须结束(我想我会的,如果我再次访问阿姆斯特丹,我会再次访问),所以我再次被要求等一会儿,然后乘电梯下去,真的很感激。在商店里,我和 Margreet 聊天,喝了一杯 Thilan 的咖啡——我遇到的每一位员工都非常友好,愿意和我交谈,这让我印象深刻。
我真的推荐这个给任何年龄段的人,我想不出有什么让我如此印象深刻的东西,我已经七十多岁了!!
