On wednesday Rob and I went to Legoland with Tony, his friend TOBY, and Dad for Tony's belated birthday outting. ony wanted to go to go to legoland for his birthday with a friend, but Dad couldn't get away til now and needed Rob and I to drive(bigger car than dad's little 2 seater Porche) and help chaperone.
As far as theme parks go, legoland Windsor isn't all that impressive and I don't have any other Legoland park to compare it to because I never went to the one in Cali.
It's decorative and there's loads of 'themed' areas....but not so much as Disneyland.
Viking territory.
Tigers in Adventureland
Scuba Man in Adventureland too.
Pharoah in Egypt territory.
Lego builders in LEGO CITY.
More Eygptian stuff...this I thought was interesting: on the walls were mounted these HUGE (like tapistry size) pictures that were about 5-6 lego units deep. These are fully detailed and probably weighted A LOT.
There was also lego torches for lighting in dark indoor areas. Pretty cool how it actually glows bright enough through the opaque lego pieces at the top.
Tony and Toby next to a lego treasure chest.
Laser Raiders...the indiana Jones themed laser shooter game(WAY less impressive than the Toy Story ones at Disneyland).
I always get top score!
One of the Water Rides(Short, log jammer at Six Flags is better) in Pirate Land.
This I thought was cool and unique. Never mind that this is LEGOland, not everything cool about it had to be made of lego. They had a gold pan handling area. These troughs filled with water and sand and kids get to pan for gold (probably fools gold) for 3 pounds each. And if you find gold, you get a 'gold medal' to wear.
The boys under a crawl space in an aquarium....after a submarine ride.
The Boys on the Dragon rollarcoaster in Knights Land.
