Duplo in Legoland

, , , , ,

Hi All,

Well I am sure this must have been the least surprising post ever:D
Anyway in this update Duploworld has moved to Legoland:D

And yeah it is another update from my visit to Denmark this July.

Well to set the scene (kind of) and to prove that we were there, is a picture of me with the local legoland pro photographer (Taken by Miss Duplo):


And to those of you that do not know what legoland also is about…
Well I have uploaded quite a few pictures to the "Danish Summer photos" album from our visit there, to give you a feel of it.

Said in brief Legoland is located in Billund in Denmark and it is a true wonderland for kids and childish souls alike.

What to me, without a doubt, is the most impressive part is not the amusements, the rollercoaster rides or anything like that.
No it is a place called "Miniland". It features miniature copies from a variety of places all over the world, all build ground up in Lego:eyes: But not only that, they have put an impressive amount of work into the details.
Well if you get the chance to pop by Legoland, do it... "miniland" is worth it alone.

Anyway, just to give you an idea, here are a few photos from "miniland":
A traditional Japanese house:

A Legoville street view:

A Lego copy of "Amalienborg" home of the Royal Danish Family:

We had a wonderful afternoon in there.

I will be back with a news update and reading up on blogs later this week.

Thanks for looking and do take care:)

Uncle MickMickeyjoe-Irl Wednesday, August 8, 2007 10:49:23 AM

Lego! yes The greatest toy ever invented. party

I think it should be a mandatory gift for every child. It is for all my little cousins.

And I still get my brother a set every X-mas. wink

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, August 8, 2007 1:36:50 PM

Hi Hungry,

No actually I did not... I promised you to go there, when you showed me a picture of the A380 from it:D

And well now I have done that... I love that place:)

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, August 8, 2007 2:07:08 PM

Hi Mickey J,

I agree... definitely the greatest toy ever...

Well agree on that too.

I still have a good deal of lego in my office too:D

hungryghost Wednesday, August 8, 2007 3:36:30 PM

oh that's right..I remember better now - should have checked my back entries first bigsmile bigsmile

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, August 8, 2007 4:20:38 PM

Well I did not have to check...

I have been waiting for a long time to get the chance to go there:D:D

bigeyes

I thought Amalienborg was Versailles at first sight.

Amazing place! Thanks for sharing up

Sansanshan Thursday, August 9, 2007 3:44:49 PM

Those are incredible. That would be a dream job eh, working at Legoland.

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Thursday, August 9, 2007 6:35:17 PM

Versailles:eyes:

Pfelelep, well glad you found out that it is not, the gardens are actualy a lot prettier around versailles IMO:D

THanks for looking...

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Thursday, August 9, 2007 6:37:02 PM

Thank you Sandy... not sure about a dream job, but it is a fun place to visit...
Not sure I would be able to handle that many children all the time:D

Peter Battypjbatty Thursday, August 9, 2007 7:59:57 PM

Yeah, it'd only be a dream job so long as the bricks stay stuck to the models! It only takes one clumsy git to fall into Mr Lego Photographer dude and smash him into tiny bricks wink

Nice photos as always Thomas.

Regards
