We recently had the opportunity to attend a media preview of the new Star Wars Miniland at the Legoland Discovery Center. We started out our evening with a visit to the Miniland, which has been invaded by Star Wars characters and vehicles. Grab a scavenger hunt list and find each of the characters listed for some extra fun.
Of course, we visited the boys’ favorite spots at Legoland – the 4D theatre and the Kingdom Quest Laser Ride. We also spent some time at the City Construction Site indoor playground. Cooper and Dexter helped to build a life-sized Yoda, and we participated in a session at the Master Builder’s Academy.
The highlight of the night was our sneak peak at the new Star Wars Miniland, which is based on Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. There are three interactive exhibits:
- Droid Destruction – Shoot marbles to battle the droids on Naboo.
- Boonta Eve Classic Podrace – Two players race podracers on Tatooine.
- Naboo Starfighter – Control a ship launching from the domed palace in Naboo.
The exhibits are pretty amazing; the details are amazing and it’s a lot of fun to examine each of them carefully. It’s not at all surprising that it took 1,500 hours, 500,000 LEGO bricks, and 2,000 mini-figures to create Star Wars Miniland.
