Pinoy attractions featured in newly-opened Legoland Malaysia
There’s a new attraction in Asia that will definitely get you ‘bricked!’
Legoland Malaysia, which opened on September 15, has a wonderful surprise for Filipino brick fanatics — its Miniland section which features a replica of Bolinao, Philippines, a thriving fishing town on the coast of Luzon.
Miniland showcases various models of unique Philippine icons such as a traditional boat, a jeepney, and a church.
In an email to GMA News Online, Legoland executives said Legoland Malaysia is a 76-acre theme park composed of more than 50 million Lego bricks. The park caters mainly to children aged two to 12.
The park has over 40 rides, shows, and attractions, ranging from roller coasters to race cars and family-oriented interactive shows.
Legoland is divided into six areas:
(1) Miniland
Miniland is the centerpiece of Legoland. Here, children turn into "giants" as they look at miniature towns and models featuring 12 different countries, including the Philippines.
(2) Imagination: Where Lego knows no limits
This area contains sections that pique the interests of the mind.
There is a Build and Test Center where you could form your own Lego creations.
Aside from this, the Lego Studios provide a unique 4D movie adventure especially for kids.
(3) Technic: High speed rides and high tech Lego
The highlight of this area is Project X, a roller coaster ride that has a steep switchback track taking you 18 meters up into the air.
Another exciting ride is the Technic Twister which takes 60 people in a dizzying whirlwind ride.
(4) Kingdoms: Where legends come to life in Lego
Having a medieval theme filled with knights, wizards and dragons, Kingdoms boasts its own roller coaster ride: The Dragon.
The Dragon takes brick fanatics into the deep parts of the castle chambers and gives them a real hot ride.
There is also a royal joust where up to 20 children can enjoy riding a Lego horse for the medieval contest.
(5) Land of Adventure: A daring journey into ancient Lego worlds
The highlight of this area is the Dino Island, a water ride where visitors ride a boat and get to see rocks, plants and a dinosaur lagoon.
The finale is a 12-meter waterfall that would definitely get you wet.
(6) Lego City: A Lego world where children really take control
Lego City has an airport, a shipyard and a driving school filled with life-size Lego vehicles.
The driving school offers children complete control of Lego cars which they can drive up to six kilometers per hour.
