StealthFan Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Yesterday I took a trip down to Legoland to get some footage in HD and meet up with Will & Steven. I haven't been to Legoland in about 2 years so I was looking forward to going and seeing how much the park had changed in that time. I was very impressed with the new additions to the park and the overall atmosphere was amazing. I will explain more about the day and what I thought of the park in the photos below. After our intense race we headed over to Fire Academy, which is where my photo TR will end for the moment. But stay tuned for Part 2 where I will introduce you to Larry and have a POV of Laser Raiders ready for you all! This is what I really was wishing the sexy ride ops would be wearing but no such luck. BTW sorry Divv but no photos of Larry but there is plenty of video! This dude tried to point us in the wrong direction but we knew better then to trust someone who has a Lego visor that isnt made of clear Lego bricks. After going up the hill we arrived at the one and only Lego Racers!! On our way to the next and most competative ride of the day we took the hill train, which for the first time ever I have seen with no queue. Will kept himself ammused between rides by drinking Alien urine, which apparently tastes very nice. DANGER! If you are caught to be breaking any TPR rules the following WILL happen to you! This is how wet you get on Pirate Falls! This one is for you Steve BANG! and the pirate with the cannon fires his gun so hard that he fell back off! "Holy Crap I'm naked, but after all these years I still have'nt thought to get the clothes off the washing line and put them on" We used this entrance but beware you must be a silver Lego dude to use it. Which is exactly what we did do! Will is so happy he took the tunnel he wanted to make sure everyone knows, before we moved onto Pirate Falls! Next up on the Q-Bot list for us was Dragon's Apprentice. Steven: "Yea i'm cool I can handle this beast" Will: "Holy crap, do I have to take that tunnel" Me: "I've taken bigger tunnels then that in my time" Steven's expression still has not changed and will now seems to have had something forced some place he was'nt expecting. Steven: "Hey, check me out i'm on Smile Cam" Will: "Oh someone just pinched my backside" *sigh* "I've been doing this job for 11 years now and I still havent managed to get a woman or move out from my parents house" "Hey ladies check out my tounge, don't mind my friend who is making out with a Lego cup, he has a cup fetish." "Im angry Lego Knight, don't mess with me as I have no shoulders or elbows, just spheres! Grrrrrrrrrr" After Laser Raiders we booked a slot for the Dragon and headed over there. Laser Raiders is in the Kingdom of the Pharaohs and the entrance is what used to be the Circus tent. Me being as clever as I am did not take any photos of it but I will have the POV up very soon. And we went over to Q-Bot central to pick up our first ever Q-Bot! It's so cute! (The Q-Bot not me) We booked our first ride of the day as Laser Raiders! After arriving late due to traffic I met up with Will & Steven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootharawwwrrr Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 What an awesome day out! Thanks for sorting it out Craig. Great report, some of those captions made me laugh out loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSpecial Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Question: was the Jungle Coaster running on your visit? On the Legoland website they say its closed and a further update will be posted. Any idea what the problem is? I'm planning on visiting Legoland over the next few weeks so any heads up would be appreciated. What's the best new attraction from your recent trip? Did you have a go on the Viking River Splash and if so what's your opinion of this attraction? Great photos - thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 The Jungle coaster was not running on my visit and looked like it may be down for while as it had a hired in cherry picker there and the park are very sure that it will not open soon. My guess is they are waiting for a part to be delivered. The best new attraction is defiantly Viking River Splash and will be featured in the next part of the update, which will be tomorrow along with Lego Racers pre-show and driver creation video plus Laser Raiders pre-show and POV.

jkwan Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is Lego Rocket Racers a 3D show? I was there in early June but only had 2 hours there. So all I rode were the 3 coasters, Fire Academy, and Laser Raiders. Being that this is the first Lego Land I've ever been to, I was pretty disappointed that I didn't really get to enjoy the park. But at least I got the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthFan Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Time for part 2 of my Photo TR. First off check below for a video of Laser Raiders Pre-Show and full POV that I took. [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Laser_Raiders_4556[/coastertube] Lego Racers Pre-Show and driver contruction. [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Larry_y8pk[/coastertube] Onto the photos below. And to end this Photo TR I leave you with a photo that would make alot of peoples dreams come true if they were real swords! "Will you please stand an be silent for the children who were lost to Ice Dragons version of Snack Time" There is Ice Dragon also about to eat a small child! So this is where the Fire dragon went! Who shall we chuck in the water never to return? What this woman is actually saying is "Oh god my back hurts from carrying these massive things about" Now onto Land of The Vikings for the last part of the update. Hey Will!! EYES ON THE ROAD! Ew you dirty explorers, clean up after yourself! "I smell some for of fecal matter, smells like humans???" :S When real Pandas are extinct, we will always have Lego ones. "I am Lego dragon, I will mess up your eyes with my many colours!" "I will stare at you until you create more Lego boobies!!!" If you can spot the "slightley" retarded person in this photo, well done! You now know what I look like. "Oh crap i'm going to be late for my Q-Bot time on the Choo Choo Train." WOW I really should'nt hold it in for so long! But Will on the other hand is full on and even added thrusting into the mix! Steven looks very innocent with his pumping actions. "Welcome to the Legoland Fire Dept, please be ready to use so much energy you may pass out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootharawwwrrr Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Awesome ending to the trip report! Made me laugh so hard! I think the girls of TPR should comment on my and Steven's pumping action, that ride needs to come with a sign saying guests may die from over pumping! You forgot to mention that we won at Fire Academy, thanks to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
