If you've read my birthday post you will know that this is actually one of my birthday presents. This is a totally unplanned itinerary, yes, we are just random/spontaneous like this. Sometimes I do salute myself too :P
It is a Friday morning, we woke up super early and head down to .... Legoland @ Nusajaya! Estimated 2 and a half hours journey from KL.. It is quite easy to find if you're coming from the North-South Highway, follow Nusajaya EXIT 253, followed by EXIT 312, from here along the way you will see Legoland signage to your desired place. Wuuhoo!! (If you're using GPS, the code is N1'26'14" E103'37'2".)
Talking and chatting non-stop inside the car, fall asleep once a while, check the roadsign to make sure we don't miss the exit. Then, here I am... Present to you, Asia's 1st Legoland Park at Nusajaya, Johor Bahru!!
It is not very crowded, maybe because we are here on weekdays. Present our admission tickets without queueing, Grab a brichure and get it started! We are wondering whether we can finish it on time by looking at the map because their operating hours until 6pm only.
What welcomes you is their souvenir store - The Big Shop and The Brick Shop. It is too hot here and we hide ourselves in the store for a while. A wide range of items for your selection, even the keychain is Lego's character selection. I love all of them. The display outside the store.
I'm amazed by the display over here, almost 90% of their display are built by Lego Bricks. Super awesome and their creativity is unbelievabl.e. I wonder how they did that. Like this sleeping old man, even got the snoozing sound from him.
There are total six attractions in the park and we started ours with [Lego Technic]. We hop on to a ride which similiar to the spinning cup in Genting. they called it Technic Twister. You have to leave your belongings like bag, camera at the place provided because you're not allowed to bring it along with you during the rides.
Another rides here is [Project -X], a race car display for photo opportunity.
Proceed on is [Kingdom], if you've seen Legoland brochure, the green dragon Roller Coaster can be found here, named [The Dragon]. The entrance is a huge castle.
Hungry halfway? So many restaurants for you to choose from, and we chose this one.
Imagination is the place for you to spark your imagination. We took a break at their [Build & Test], this is the place there you can build your anything by using the Lego bricks provided in the place. Like this:
[Observation Tower] where you can marvel the landscape of Legoland from top. One advantage to visit Theme Park on a weekdays because you can skip the queue and save lots of time on that. With that, you can hop on to the same rides twice :D
[Kid Power Tower] is one fun ride that I enjoyed and scared at the same time. The machine will bring you through half way, and you need to pull on the string provided to reach the top of the rides. I'm very brave in pulling the string but I'm really scared when I almost reach the top. No photo for this, in case you're wondering which one I'm talking about, spot this bunny and you'll find it.
There are [Lego Studio] where there's a 4D theatre for you to enjoy. Remember to have a look at DUPLO Playtown, more to a playground for kids, and spot some display by Lego bricks too.
Before proceed to [Land of Adventure], snap a photo first! There's music coming out from the musical instrument okay?
Welcome to [Land of Adventure], we did not spend much time here but we enjoy seeing people play [Dino Island] because they get wet from this rides. We definitely do not want to get wet and we skipped this!
[Lost Kingdom Adventure], the customer service here is bad and not professional, even the crowd control is bad (with little crowd only). But the ride is fun and happening, you got a laser gun with you and you can shoot the tiny yellow light along the journey to earn point. (Note: The point is for fun only) Then the automated camera will snap your photo close to the ending there, remember to peace and smile. =)
We gets tired after finishing the four main attractions, I'm not sure whether arranging [Miniland] to be the last one to visit is a good choice or not because the skies seems darker by then. At the same time, we are here at [Lego City], notice that there will be a show at 4.30 at [Lego City Stage]. My personal opinion is that you can skipped it if you're rushing. It is all about safety concern when you're at home.
The weather is real bad now, we quickly ran to [Miniland] and both the camera and handphone battery are running low. There are so many wonderful buidling built by Lego bricks. How can you not taking photo of them? Trying our luck to capture as much photo as we can, and un-ending calls from office makes my phone die even faster.
Still, we have enough time to marvel on this *I seriously don't know how they did that* building with sound, movement, water, lights and etc. They are all made by Lego Bricks. Yes, the Lego bricks that we can get from the departmental store. Imagine how you can build such amazing thing from the tiny bricks!!
It is one happy getaway (well, I'm happy on every getaway)! Visit and learn at the same time :D
Tips for visit:
1. Bring sunshades / umbrella / caps.
2. Makesure camera is fully charged and sufficient memory in your memory card.
Have fun visiting Legoland Malaysia!
