Description Same shot before ([link] ), taken at the Doctor Who Experience - September 2011, but with a few fixes:

- The power lead on the floor as been removed (because I hated seeing it and removed the illusion that the TARDIS is a highly powered machine)
- Added graphics to the monitor we see right in front of us, which will be very familiar to fans of the show (because it was a shame that the monitor wasn't showing anything at all)
- Filled in the edge of the exhibit, which was a black curtain and part of the bar that stops you from getting at the exhibit, with another bit of TARDIS wall (which I've not done that well because you can see the join, the angle is wrong and the roundels are too big)

Apart from the extra wall I added, I think this looks a lot better. I hope you agree.

UPDATE: 22nd September 2012 - I've now added:
- Lights to the Time Rotor (including the red ones that aren't present in the prop here)
- Lit up Time Rotor collar
- An obligatory spark
- Widescreen

Have you been to the new Cardiff Bay Doctor Who Experience?
It's awsome
I'm going again for the third time since it opened in July.

The the thing I don't like about the new building are the doors into it. The Bay gets windy and when those doors are open you half freeze when you're in the queue or the cafe.
Its not even winter yet....

No, not yet but I'm hoping to at some point soon. Is it that much different from the London version?

If the London one had the library, the forest and piloting the Tardis. Then it must be the same. I never went to the original one. Can't wait for tonights episode. On my way to the Bay right now on the Baycar. At least its sunny

This was from the dr who experience wasn't it?

I quite like this console variation, so many buttons that don't seem to do anything.

It is. Although I've got a soft spot for the Eccelstone/Tennant console, this version will always be my favourite. Considering how many abilities the TARDIS has, this version actually looks like it's got all the controls you need in order to make use of them, whereas the others don't.

True. Its a little less.... botched together from spare parts.
