If you are planning a family get-away in Johor, a tour to Legoland Malaysia Resort should be on top of your list!
What You Shouldn’t Miss inLegoland
The popularity of LEGO transcends generations. While LEGO’s main targets for its toys are children aged five to twelve, both kids and kids at heart have fond memories of building using blocks.
A Complete LEGO Experience
Legoland Malaysia brings a complete, interactive experience that has always been LEGO’s signature. The 5,500,000 sq ft. resort features over 70 hands-on rides, shows, slides and attractions where you can program, push, pedal and of course, build to your heart’s content.
Below are some of the things that you can do to make your LEGO experience complete.
To Explore
At the heart of Legoland Malaysia lies MINILAND where you can find famous landmarks carefully built with more than 30 million LEGO bricks. With a scale of 1:20, popular buildings such as Angkor Wat, TajMahal, KL Petronas Tower and Singapore’s own downtown Merlion Park are carefully replicated. There is also a miniature Singapore scene that features the Singapore Flyer and the Marina Bay skyline. Get your cameras ready: you should also watch out for motorized LEGO cars, ships, trains and airplanes that come to life with a push of a button. Make sure that you zoom your cameras to capture the scene as they happen!
To Conquer
Feel the rush of adrenaline as you ride The Dragon which is one of the famous roller coasters in the nearby area. Rated by most to bring 5 out of 10 screams, this ride will take you deep inside a castle on a fire-breathing dragon. The track swerves sharply to the left and to the right at near-vertical angles and with a top speed of 60km/hr, making you feel as if you are being tipped out.
If you feel more daring, ride Project X at your own risk. With its 15 corners and steep switchback track, this ride has more twists and hairpin turns than other rides at the park. Only 4 four people are allowed to ride in a car which will take you 18 meters above the ground. At the start of the ride, your cart will fly down the slope which is guaranteed to produce screams from the riders. Most give this ride 7 out of 10 screams.
Parents and children who are looking for a milder yet challenging ride may take on Merlin’s Challenge, a high-speed carousel that puts 48 visitors at a time for a spin. This charming ride offers ample shelter from the sun with its small and colorful cars or carriages that go round a circle and up and down in a wave-like motion. Challenge: Dare yourself to survive past the 15th round.
To Build
Of all the things LEGO is known for, building is on the top of the list. It’s no surprise then that LEGO has specific areas where both young and old can build anything from robots to race cars. For example, Build-A-Raft lets you design, customize and build your own unique LEGO raft and set it afloat around a river. Model builders can also turn their creative designs into reality through the LEGO Academy. Finally, test the durability of your structure in the earthquake table.
To Shop
Aside from pictures of you and the LEGO version of a colossal stature of Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II and other gigantic structures, you can take home fun and rare memorabilia of a wonderful day by shopping at The Big Shop. Well-suited for its name, The Big Shop is the largest LEGO superstore in Southeast Asia- making it one of your places you must visit in Legoland. The famous store has over 2,000 products from brick sets to souvenirs and guidebooks on building magnanimous and complex structures. Although the prices might make you cringe, the shop has some rare pieces that you can seldom find in other LEGO stores.
To Create Memories
More importantly, just have fun. Legoland is a place of fun, innovation and interaction. Go ahead and dare yourself to try the rides or chill out and watch their spectacular fireworks at night. With lots of activities for the family, Legoland will make your trip worthwhile.
Legoland is located within the Iskandar Malaysia economic region where surrounding retail centers, four-star hotels and apartments thrive. One final tip: To avoid the stress and hassle of commute and traffic, it is recommended that you book a private transport from Singapore to Legoland Malaysia.
