Dickens World, a themed attraction based
on the life and works of beloved novelist Charles Dickens,
opened in Kent, England on May 25, 2007. Although the
attraction features rides, such as the “Great
Expectations” log flume, Dickens World’s
primary purpose is to act as a recreation of life in
Victorian England. So take your Dickens, Oscar Wilde,
and Sherlock Holmes action figures and head back to
turn of the century England to see firsthand how your
heroes lived.
