TR Legoland Deutschland 06/06

[Dacorian]

It was almost over with my holiday and this is my latest experience.

Normally we would visit Europa Park, but changed the plan because of an overdose Europa park that I'm sure a year can do without.

EP was traded for ... Legoland ... gosh, I had a lot of prejudices when hearing that name.

It was a very sunny Friday and I had good hope, but it's just the Lego blocks that made me worry, it seemed so childish.

We arrived a little too early and the parking lot wasn't even opened yet. We waited just on the parking of a car wash and we move ourselves around a little after nine in the immense parking lot.

I was amazed that a small park like Legoland, has such a large car park. Many fellow- visitors can be here apparently.

Fortunately this was not the case today.

 

 

It starts with a negative point. Movie Park /Bellewaerde park states with opening at 10am without opening a for section for drinking a cup of coffee before I start with a theme park day. Most of the European parks open before the opening times to gen no furstration at the main gate. Luckily it was quiet so no frustration occurs at the entrance.

But otherwise I could actually just see this as a negative thing. All attractions are open on time and all look quite special and new to me. The Lego theme is special to see and much more pleasant than what we have seen in the bare Skyline Park.

I started with something that has less capacity.

 

Wiii! 65 flops in 2,5 minutes! What a fun way to start a day! I know what to do with the wings to get so many flips from other parks with the same ride (Belantis and Nigloland).

 

luckily there are no queue's at any time of the day. That's why I did this attraction so often. The other riders in these attractions were struggling to do the same when they saw me and some people asked me "how do you do that?"

This attraction can be very boring, either a great thrill ride when you know how. As in Belantis and Nigloland, this is just fun to do. The operator was very friendly and likes to chat with visitors.

 

The other great attraction is something that I never seen before... The 'Hero Factory'. Funny and unpredictable attraction that could have lasted much longer in my case. For a park with the childish name like 'Legoland' these first rides were already two pretty good rides with inversions.

 

5th program please!... Amazing that you can choose your own program : D

We move on a little further into the park among the many Lego details and attractions.

Some rides really surprised me because the next thing I did was the dark ride / coaster combination 'Feuerdrache. Many lego puppets and obviously a pretty good Zierer coaster.

His neighbor was tinged rather childish, Drachenjagd "a very small Gerstlauer.

Fortunately, I was allowed to stay for several rides without having to go back and continue to pass the entrance.

This park also had an interactive dark ride. Unfortunately too short but somehow amusing. The log flume and the splash battle came in handy in this warm and sunny weather.

 

 

 

 

 

The wild mouse should have been a fun coaster because of the different layout. This is the first time that a wild mouse bleeds to death at the end of the ride. It slowed down almost anywhere even outside the trim brakes so that children from a meter (small children) can do this attraction. Too bad, because the first drop is quite high ... similar to Matterhorn Blitz Europa park but with a lot more braking.

But the real disappointment came from Atlantis by Sealife.

Frankly I expected a dark ride or tour but ultimately turns out to be a walkthrough with ... fish. All is said with ... fish!

Many people watched with great attention to the shark that swims around them, but I'm not a fan of animals in captivity, so we went straight to the exit and quickly sought the 4D theater... which was actually quite good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's go on the splash battle and never leave again...this is what most people said this day.

 

 

 

Also 'mini land' was pretty impressive. A kind of 'miniature world, but from Lego. Many details and interaction.

 

 

 

 

 

Even a 'Star Wars miniland.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have done many rides several times in this park and can say that surely three attractions are things that I like very much.

Legoland had me pleasantly surprised, it has his errors and mistakes just like every park has, and is rather expensive for what it is at the entrance. But if you like to print the tickets home before visiting, it is still affordable.

It's all so colorful and pretty nicely put together. On calm days like this it's just nice because some attractions have a tremendous replay value, but have a very small capacity. I wouldn't want to be there when this huge parking is filled with cars. So just a good park when it is quiet and good weather like it was today.

I don't regret that I traded it for Europa park, Despite that I'm no legofan.

The staff were mostly friendly and cheerful, and that's finally something different because my German and Austrian trip was poor in much kindness.In a few years, I would once again be able to return here.

 

I wonder now whether the Legolands in Denmark, Florida and England are equally fun like Deutschland is.

Eum, comments and tips are welcome ... maybe someone who can say something about the comparison with other legolands? I expect that most of you know the Florida Resort? Can you compare that with this version?

Looks like a fun neat park, I havent been to any other Legolands yet so can't compare. I will however be visiting Florida's in November!

I've been to the California one quite a ton of times.
