888 Lego brick horses for CNY

888 Lego brick horses for CNY

Theme park visitors are invited to help build the horses before the Feb 9 deadline

In conjunction with Chinese New Year, Legoland Malaysia Resort is building 888 horses from Lego bricks.

The activity is open to all visitors to mark the Year of the Horse. Legoland hopes to achieve this feat by Feb 9.

Legoland's director of sales and marketing Thila Munusamy said visitors to the park will get to participate by using some of the 20,000 Lego bricks and help the Lego builders in meeting their deadline.

Visitors, who participate in the activity, will receive certificates of appreciation.

The Lego brick horses will be displayed at The Beginning area of the theme park, and visitors can take pictures with the unique feature.

Thila said they decided to build 888 horses because the number eight is a symbol of prosperity for the Chinese community.

"Legoland is the perfect place to be with families during the holiday season. Our building activity focuses on giving children and parents the opportunity to bond and engage in learning.

"With the resort now complete, families can also stay at the Legoland Hotel and enjoy both the theme and water parks," added Thila.

Legoland has lined up an array of other interesting activities for the celebration next month.

This includes a lion dance and Chinese drum performances. There will also be a fireworks display on the first and second day of Chinese New Year.

The lion dancers will be performing at The Beginning area today to welcome guests.

There will also be a famous daredevil performance on stilts and this show will take place at City Stage.

Another show that is not-to-be- missed is the Qian Qiu Chinese drum performance. Families will also be able to enjoy the drumming experience as they are encouraged to participate in the "Battle of Families" challenge.

Other activities include Chinese magic shows, gravity defying acrobatic performances, martial arts stunts, and a musical dance.

The musical fireworks display is unique to Legoland and visitors will be given special 3D glasses to wear so they will be able to see little Lego bricks cascade from the sky. Thila added that limited-edition Chinese New Year T-shirts would also be on sale.


About 20,000 Lego bricks will be used to build the 888 horses.
