Long queues are expected at the reopening of Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier later, which has undergone a £39m transformation.
It now boasts the UK's first laser maze and the only double one in the world.
The landmark, which has been redesigned with a modern glass fronted building by Bristol-based architects Angus Meek, is also home to Britain's smallest rollercoaster - the Robocoaster - a large robotic arm ride.
