S'pore Port in 1500 hours
SINGAPORE'S dynamic port has caught the attention of Legoland
builders. It will capture the spirit of the world's busiest port
with Lego bricks no bigger than your pinky finger.
Legoland Malaysia, which opens in 2012, will feature over 15,000
structures made out of 30 million Lego bricks. Only 10 per cent of
the theme park has been developed to date. This is the first theme
park in Asia and the 5th in the world.
Featuring miniature models of Singapore's Port and Malaysia's
Petronas Towers, Legoland Malaysia will have an Asian focus. It
will also have one iconic structure from each Asean country.
Legoland is not revealing the exact details just yet, keeping its
fans in much suspense.
22 Model Builders have been picked to build these iconic
structures of Asia. These model builders are from Johor and went
through 5 to 6 weeks of rigorous training from international
Legoland trainers.
The 26-hectare theme park, located in Nusujaya in Johor Bahru,
will also have over 40 exciting rides for the family.
With so much to look forward to, it is no surprise that Lego
brings out the child in every one of us and continues to remain
popular, forty-two years after the first Legoland started. -
