\n Ali Hampton, a staff member at the event on Monday, said: “It has been fantastic so far.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This is the second day and we had a huge queue this morning.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I think we’ve already had 200 people and it’s only been open 10 minutes which is phenomenal.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s really popular.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Vehicles on display this year include the DeLorean from Back to the Future, the Jurassic Park Ranger vehicle, Scooby-Doo\u2019s Mystery Machine, Knight Rider\u2019s KITT, and the flying blue car from Harry Potter.\n<\/p>\n

\n Steve Hughes, who attended with his grandson, said: “We just turned up, I think the kids are going to love this, absolutely, they are actually gonna love all of them.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s mad, isn’t it, we decided to come early, because of the temperature of the day, I reckon it will be 30 plus later, and we thought if we come here mid afternoon, not only is it gonna be really busy, but it’s gonna be so, so hot.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Returning favourites include Lightning McQueen, the 1989 Batmobile, Tow Mater, and Professor Z.\n<\/p>\n

\n “My son likes the Lightning McQueen ones, but my daughter prefers the Stranger Things one.”\n<\/p>\n
