Legoland (Gunzburg, Germany) - Aug 26, 2009

Tuesday was possibly one of the most anticipated events of Jesse's life, haha. He couldn't sleep the night before, he said it was like "5 Christmases combined", haha. Luckily it didn't let him down!


The park is broken into a variety of different areas or worlds. We started in MiniLand where they had recreated famous cities and monuments from throughout main Germany and European cities.

Neuschwanstein Castle in Fussen:


An I.C.E train that moves around the track. These are the trains we have been taking around Germany:


Look Familiar? We were just here (Frankfurt):


A Gondola getting cut in half in Venice:


After that we made our way through the Lego Factory where we learned how lego is built. We learned about the plastic injection process, the painting process and the automation through the use of mechanical arms. Next we checked out the Pick-a-Brick store where you can buy any lego piece including some vintage characters.

Then we visited Bionic land where we were tossed around by a robot arm. It was pretty cool because we caught to plot the arms course before we got into the ride. We loaded the movements onto a card and when it was our turn we just put the card into the arm. Next we stopped in the Knight's Kingdom where we rode the dragon rollercoaster!!

Another fun area was Pirate Land. It was a small waterpark where you could ride around on pirate boats, spray each other with water, launch water balloons and set off water mines on unsuspecting boaters.

Some of the other areas were Lego City, Adventure Land, Atlantis, Imagination and Lego X-treme.








We have a new "Life Goal" that we need to eventually check off. We are going to visit all 5 legolands throughout the world (Germany, Denmark, UK, USA and Dubai is scheduled to open in 2011). So brothers and sisters be prepared to join us!
