LEGOLAND® CALIFORNIA To Set the Guinness World Record for World's Tallest LEGO® Tower
Help LEGOLAND® California break the Guinness World Record for the tallest LEGO® tower in the world President's Day weekend 2005.
Thousands of children along with their families will click together
more than half-a-million LEGO® bricks at LEGOLAND® California February
17-21, 2005, to break the Guinness World Record for the tallest LEGO
tower ever built! Park guests will be able to participate in this
record-breaking event by constructing their own piece of the tower
beginning Thursday, February 17 when the Park opens at 10 a.m.
Park officials estimate the tower will take four days, 40 hours, nearly
50,000 guests and more than 500,000 LEGO bricks to complete! The
current Guinness World Record for the tallest LEGO tower was set in
Tallinn, Estonia in August 1998 reaching a height of 82 feet. The tower
took four days to build and 391,478 LEGO bricks. LEGOLAND California's
record-breaking attempt will soar over the theme park's main entrance
and will be built entirely of LEGO bricks. The construction of the
tower begins everyday during Presidents Day weekend at 10 a.m. when the
Park opens and ends when the Park closes at 5 p.m. Witness the closing
ceremony on Presidents Day, February 21 at 10:30 a.m. when the final
bricks are positioned and the tower is measured and certified by an
official from the Guinness Book of World Records.
If your trip to Southern California doesn't coincide with the Tower
Building event, you'll still want to visit Legoland because there are
so many exciting and fun attractions for your entire family. 2004
marked the fifth birthday of LEGOLAND™ California, and the theme park
commemorated the momentous occasion by opening five new attractions
where fun, facts, and fantasy click all at once.
The openings began in February with the premiere of Block of Fame, a
tree-lined walkway of LEGO celebrity and historical busts, along with a
three-dimensional art gallery. Dino Island, featuring Coastersaurus, a
junior roller coaster, opened in April, followed in May by Fun Town
Fire Academy, an interactive firefighter racing ride. In June, Miniland
USA was expanded to include Miniland Florida.
In the classic LEGOLAND style of blending education and entertainment,
all the new attractions combine history, classic art, paleontology,
fire safety, and geography with interactive fun. Geared towards
families with youngsters ages two through 12, the new attractions
feature something for everyone in the family. If you plan to return to
Southern California during Memorial Day Weekend 2005, put Legoland on
your list of places to visit. The park will introduce a signature
attraction sworn to challenge guests as they embark on this
one-of-a-kind adventure! Young and old, brace yourselves, as you take
an unpredictable journey through Knights' Kingdom. LEGOLAND is the only
theme park where kids are the ones who make things happen. Designed for
families with children 2 to 12, guests can drive, pedal, squirt, climb,
jump, slide, click, build and laugh their way through more than 50
