Enjoy the Rides and Fun in LEGOLAND Malaysia. (Pt. 2)

Continue from last post...

Next to the The Built and Test Centre is the Observation Revolving Tower of LEGOLAND Malaysia. The Tower ONLY operated twice on that day of our visit, 3pm & 5pm, but I believe it will operate continuously on normal day...

Revolving Observation Tower

The queue was long and we were lucky enough to catch the ride!

The Media Team was waiting for the ride...

Beside the Media team, the contractors also followed us on the ride...

The contrators



The view was Excellent!
This is one of the ride you cannot Miss!

Children will love this Playtown very much and I doubt they will easily get out from there...:)

The Mini Train ride in the Playtown

There's an Beautiful colourful LEGO Sculpture outside of the Duplo Playtown...I like it!

It's a dinosaur!

If you are hungry after the day rides, the Pizza Mania Restaurant just in front of it! According to the park management, the restuarant can cater for few hundreds visitors...

Our next destination : The Land Of Adventure!

Welcome to The Land of Adventure

The Lost Kingdom in Land of Adventure

The big LEGO sculpture in front of the building is Nice!

The ride was Fun! It's like a ghost house but when I saw the LEGO model came out suddenly...I said it was Cute rather than scary...haha! (Please utilize the 'yellow' gun in the car, it's fun too!)

The Beetle Bounce

My kid went in to the Pharaoh's Revenge and stuck inside for 30 minutes...that was my nice rest time under the tree...:)

Unfiortunately, the Dino Island wasn't ready on the day...that's one of the reason to return to LEGOLAND!

Next ride will be the LEGOLAND Express in the LEGO City! Well, more relax ride this one! The queue was long but no worries...the express can take us all! :)

Queuing for the LEGOLAND Express

The LEGOLAND Express tour through the LEGOLAND slowly and with the voice introduction on the train, impressive!

Once we settled with the train, the time was 6pm! OMG! All the rides in the park are STOP operation on 6pm! So please arrange your timing properly, or else...you will miss many rides in LEGOLAND!

My daughter only be able to enjoyed 7-8 rides for the whole sunny day, but she spent quite some time in the Build & Test Centre and the Pharaoh's Revenge...there are about total of 40 rides, and I guess we have to re-visit the park for at least 4 times...haha!
Just trying to comfort her and friends, we brought her into The Big Shop - where all the LEGO Bricks are inside...

The Big Shop Shopping area


The whole Star Wars Collection - My FAVORITE corner!

While they shopping in the shop, I went to the Miniland to take photos. I will separate the Miniland from here and will post it soon! Because of too many photos...stay tune!

The Driving School

The shopping session ended our visit in LEGOLAND for the day...even the rides Stop on 6pm, the shops are open until 7.30pm. My daughter keep nagging on my ears and blaming I didn't let her enjoy all the rides...haha! Well, it's ok...we will be Back Soon!

See you LEGOLAND!

Enjoy the Rides in LEGOLAND® Malaysia (Pt.1)

"The LEGOLAND® Malaysia team was delighted to welcome its media friends, many of whom have shown great support since it was announced that LEGOLAND would build its first Park in Asia.

With the Public Opening just two weeks away, excitement is growing across the region. Three days of special events have been announced. Siegfried Boerst, General Manager, LEGOLAND Malaysia said “We have lined up marching bands, street performers, dance shows and fireworks to celebrate the special occasion. This really is a must-see for all LEGO® fans and we look forward to welcoming them to our Park over the opening weekend.

Today the media were invited to preview LEGOLAND® with their friends and family. A huge crowd turned out to experience the 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions that the Park has to offer, ahead of its opening day on 15th September 2012."

Me and my family were invited to LEGOLAND® on the 1st Sepetember 2012 to enjoy the rides and the fun in the Theme Park. We were there about 11am and the park was crowded with the peoples!

Let me share with you the rides in Park, some of the rides where I posted before will not repeat here...

The Project X (one of the exciting ride!)

Project X

The thrill was the drop! You can see the excitement on their face expression! :)
Sreaming all the way up and down!



Next to the Project X, that will be the Dragon Apprentice. There are 2 Dragon rides in the Park, this was one of it...

Cute dragons at the entrance...

Same situation here...once the ride started, screaming all the way till end!

After this ride, you can let your children have a short rest by ride on the horse in Royal Joust.

Follow by the High Speed spinning Merlin's Challenge...

Till this moment, all of us were thristy and decided to have a cold drinks beside the LEGO Kindom...the 30 minutes rest was not enough in the hot sunny day but we don't want to waste more time as the sun will go down soon!
We stepped into the LEGO Kingdom and get ready for the Exciting ride - The Dragon.
The queue was long...

The LEGO Kingdom


Inside the castle...


You can enjoy some decorations on the wall while queuing...all made by LEGO bricks.

Accidently spotted a 'Princess' pondering at the window...

I realized I made a mistake by starring at the wrong 'Princess', the real 'Princess' was just standing beside the entrance...

The pretty princess of the castle...

She said she's waiting for her 'Prince', so I said :"Can I?"...she replied : "You must ride on a white horse!" OH!...

The Dragon started!

The Dragon

You will definitely feel the Thrill!


If you feel dizzy after the fast speed Dragon, take a rest and get some tattoos for yourself...

Tattoo...anyone? RM10 only...

And if you lucky to see this...please sit on it! You will know what happen in the next few second...! :)

NO FEAR!
 
Moving to the next theme was 'Imagination'. You can check out the Kids Power Tower on my first post of LEGOLAND here. We went into the Built and Test Centre immediately because its indoor air-conditioned.

The Built And Test Centre

The area was spacious enough to cater for huge crowd...

At first, I was attracted by the buildings here...use the LEGO bricks to construct a building then put on the 'Green' pad and adjust the Magnitude on the knot. That was interesting!

Magnitude building testing site...

The colorful LEGO bricks not only attract children to play and built, adults also love it very much! You can see the photo below...

Everyone is enjoying with the LEGO bricks!

My wife and daughter built one experimental car to test on the runway...

The Special experimental car from my wife and daughter...

The test runway...

As long as the car was not crach on the runway, I consider it win! :)

The LEGO® Story (video from Youtube)

The LEGOLAND® Malaysia is the hottest topic in town nowadays! Peoples are talking about it everywhere...in coffee shop, office, lift in the building, shopping complex, night life area and even in the multi storey car park!
Well, I can simply hear the topic anywhere in the coffee shop, most of them discuss about the entrance ticket price...some children look at the leaflet and said :"I want to test the ride!". some ask : "Is it Good?!", some said : "I want to fulfill my childhood dream!" (like me...)

It's a common topic today within the region, except those who haven't or never touch on the LEGO® bricks before...I played with the bricks during my childhood, but not much because it cost more than other bricks...yeah, I understand the quality in it.

So, before my next post of the Media Family day in LEGOLAND® Malaysia that we visited 'again' on 1st September 2012, I decided to share with you the 17 minutes video from Youtube about the history and story of the Famous LEGO®, and it also explain why the name of LEGO®. Do enjoy it before you step into the First in Asia LEGOLAND®!
(The youtube video was shared from one of my friend - Andrew Lee few days ago)

"As the LEGO® celebrates its 80th Birthday, we take a look back its history with this short animated film."


Do you decide to visit the LEGOLAND® now? :)

Unintentionally popped into Jalan Tan Hiok Nee (N1.45632 E103.76332) at Johor Bahru on one of the Saturday evening...and the little street surprised me with full of Vintage cars! Later I realized there was a Vintage Car Show or display for the night...I guess I was the lucky one because didn't notice from the media or internet about the show...
