Legoland Malaysia 8 Aug 2013

Legoland Malaysia is a family holiday destination with more than 70 hands-on rides, slides, shows and attractions and designed for families with children aged 2-12. It is the first of its kind in Asia and offers adventure, education and fun for action-packed day trips or as a short break destination.

The children were excited and finally came to this Legoland ever since it opened last year here at Johor Bahru Malaysia. The colourful entrance is where all our fun begins!

 

1. Lego Technic

We decided and plan our adventure to start at the Lego Technic first, where everything is action-packed.

We started our first ride is Project X. It is a racy, crazy and 18m high roller coaster with steep inclines and sharp bends. We were surprised that Annabelle also would like to have a ride.

Initially we were planning as 1 adult accompanied 1 child, but Annabelle insisted she sat in front with Issac. In the end, when the ride started, she got scared and wanted to change the seat. She was crying and shouting all way long. After we had our ride, she just cried all the way.

Annabelle stopped crying after she saw the “spinning big cup”, and laughing. Technic Twister is a fairly standard spinning fairground attraction. Spin the wheel to control how crazy we want our ride will be. It was really fun!

Aquazone Wave Racers is a fast spin round in a skimming above water. Moderate splashing expected. We did not play this as we were afraid that all of us would get wet and the fast spinning would make us feel dizzy.

Further up we can find Lego Academy and Lego Mindstorms. These are rooms with plenty of Lego bricks and Technic pieces for kids to get their hands on and build stuff, and are in fully air-conditioned rooms. Outside of the are some robots which made by small pieces of Lego bricks and pieces.

 

2. Lego Kingdom

The highlights in this zone are the two roller coasters, The Dragon designed as a fire-breathing dragon through the Middle Ages, but get ready for the twists and turns along the way, and, a milder version, the Dragon's Apprentice for the park’s younger guests.

Due to earlier experience, Annabelle refused to ride and the rest of us just get along with her decision and do not ride on the thrills roller coaster. Other attractions include Merlin's Challenge is a high speed up and down carousel which put parents and children into a spin, we did not go also.

Royal Joust (a tame simulated horse ride for younger kids), this Annabelle and Issac got line up for their rides. It is so beautifully done on the greenery landscape, as the parents were waiting and can see their children riding on the horse, coming to their ways through the beautiful nicely field of flowers.

Forestman's Hideout is a kid's playground with slides, bridges and so on. Basically, a playground for the younger children. We did not go there either.

 

3. Imagination

Here we watched a 4D Movie in the Lego Studio called Spell Breaker and Legends of Chima which is one of 4 films that are shown in rotation. It was enjoyable and a chance to rest in air-conditioned comfort for a while. The shows were really fun and excited, there were water splashing or sprinkling, the wind blowing till your bones shivering, our seats were shaking all the while, etc.

Also in this zone is the Observatory Tower which provides a revolving 360 degree view of the entire theme park from a height of 50 metres. We were having fun too to see the view of the entire Medina.

Other attractions here include the Kids' Power Tower to prove your strength to gain a beautiful view over the park, Daddy and Issac had went to try. It really test their arm strength just to pull yourself up to the top.

Duplo Playtown is an interactive playground with farm, hospital, slides, and more!  A child size city for the youngest to explore. Duplo Express is a mini train ride which are aimed at toddlers and younger kids, and ride around the Duplo Playtown. Both Issac and Annabelle are too big for these playgrounds. They are not toddlers anymore!

There is a Built & Test air-conditioned creativity corner room for the kids to create their LEGO Models.

 

4. Land of Adventures

Fun activities here include the Lost Kingdom, which is an indoor ride journey into the forgotten worlds of Pharaohs.

But watch out! You never know what lies ahead…

On which you get to test your shooting skills using laser blasters. We did bought the photos from the Lego shots here.

Beetle Bounce bouncing of the life of the kids!!! It is a tower which bouncing up and down. Issac was very brave and immediately he said to us that, he wanted to have a try on this big ‘hammer’!

Dino Island, a log flume ride which you should only go on if you don't mind getting soaked. Annabelle and Mummy did not go for the ride as she did not want. Only Daddy and Issac go for the ride. They were having fun on this splashing ride!

 

5. Miniland

This is probably my favourite part of the park. It is a number of beautifully made scale models of famous Asian landmarks, all built from Lego bricks.

The buildings replicated in Lego include Petronas Towers and KL Tower, KLIA, Sultan Ibrahim Building, Johor Majestic Palace and Tanjung Pelepas (Johor), Fullerton Hotel and Clarke Quay (Singapore), Taj Mahal (India), The Forbidden City and The Great Wall of China, Angkor Wat (Combodia), Purah Tanah Lot (Indonesia), Patuxai (Laos), Karaweik Hall (Myanmar), Bolinao (Philippines), Wat Arun (Thailand), Hoi An (Vietnam) and many more.

 

6. Lego City

This popular zone includes Rescue Academy where families race each other to put out 'fires' in a burning building.

Boating School (battery powered boats), Legoland Express (train ride around the park) and the Driving School where children can acquire and road safety skills while driving battery powered cars around a road layout complete with traffic lights, road markings and traffic signs. On completion of the driving lesson children can obtain a driving license with photo for an additional charge of RM25.

We just skipped this section, as at that point of time, there were too many children and adults to queue for the games.

There are plenty of shops scattered around the park selling Lego sets, gift items, snacks and drinks.

Dining outlets include Pizza Mania, Market Restaurant and Jungle Café.

It was almost raining when we were finishing our tour or visit. We felt that the timing were just nice.

The children were having fun, but us as an adult as well ^^
