iPad 3 launch, Meadowhall, Sheffield

I was 12th in line last year and arrived at about 06:15.
If you put ' iPad 2 meadowhall' into youtube you will see my video of how big the queue was just before the launch last year.
I will be standing in line next Friday for 'New iPad' along with a mate I met there last year.
I would imagine the queue will be no where near as big or as early this year.
Would be great to hear from anyone who stood/sat in-line last year !

Rumors suggest its a morning launch, i think its worth the upgrade. However i did not purchase ipad 2 due to screen res being the same as ipad 1. I think its a step up from both pads.

Hi there 
I queued last year with my friend and got there 8am for the 6pm launch. I think we were about 30th in the queue.
I rang Meadowhall Apple Store yesterday and the guy said it'd probably be an 8am launch this time like the iPhone 4S, and there's been news today that it's 8am in the states. He did say he wasn't 100% certain and to call a bit later in the week.
I'll be driving down from Hull so it looks like I won't be getting any sleep Thursday night!
Edit: Just thought, 8am EST is 12pm GMT. Midday launch?

I'm currently stood at the side of the store !
1st in line !!! Whoop
I have spoken to Apple and they do not know what is happening, but Meadowhall have said that they will organise the queue about 9pm and it will be in the service entrance to the left of the store (behind me !).
When you arrive give me a shout !
