Legoland Malaysia 2013 Part IV

Legoland Malaysia having several restaurants offering food variety from Asian to Western cuisine. Almost every themed area is having own restaurant with different type of food and drinks. The choices include pizza, bread and coffee, burger and sausage, western food, asam laksa, nasi lemak and etc. Among all, we preferred Market Restaurant where most suit to our favour. 

We ordered a combo set of  roast chicken. This quarter chicken came together with soup, fries and also soft drink. The set meal cost us RM25 but without any tax or service charge. Some more it accepted Maybank American Express card for payment. Luckily we tested with one set at the time because the portion was big and enough for both of us. But sorry for no photo shown due to we too hungry and forgot to snapshot before we took it..hehe..

After filled up our stomach, we move to the Minilands. It was an wonderful experience where the famous landmarks from 17 Asian countries were captured in this Minilands while they were presented through the construction of 30 millions Lego bricks. Please ensure your digital camera memory card is having enough space to bring back all these unique creations. Here are some samples and there are much more waiting for you...

From Minilands, we move towards the Imagination. The first activity we joint in was the Observation Tower. By sitting in the covered observation deck, it started to meander upwards and having circular motion. This motion design allowed us to view the entire Legoland Malaysia. The view was not so nice at the moment we visited it due to there were certain areas around the park that yet to develop. I believe the scenery would become much more attractive when the development is completed.

After having the bird view, lets continue to show our physical strength in Power Tower. This games required us to pull the rope and got up to the tower. Took a break at the top and gained the park view. Children must accompanied by the adult. When going down, make sure release the rope part by part to avoid sudden fall.

Before left the Imagination area, we managed to grab an opportunity to watch the 4D movie at Lego 4D Studio. Initially it was announced to have technical problem and closed for temporary, but luckily the problem solved before we left the park. Quite an interesting show, remember to return the special goggles after the show. Take note the showtimes to avoid disappointment.

From Imagination, we moved to Lego Technic. When we got nearer to it, we heard someone was screaming. By following the sound, then we saw the Project X from far. It was wild ride on a 18 meters height steep switchback track. It looked attractive to me but my wife was scared to give it a trial. Hence, I went and tried it alone. When came to my turn, I was arranged to be sit at front row while a pair of father-son were sitting behind me. Oh no!! Each time the car slide down with high speed, my heart look like to pop out. But cannot deny this ride was exciting, should give it a try.

After Project X, we moved to Aquazone Wave Racers. This game has two parts where the first part required the player to spin the boat to avoid the water bombs while second part required those watching to trigger water bombs to get the players in wet. It is fun but prepare to get wet if your response are not too fast. Haha..

Water Bombs

Beside the games and rides mentioned in these posts, there are still a lot of activities offered by Legoland Malaysia, especially those designed for children, which include Lego Academy, Lego Mindstorms, Build & Test and etc. We did not pay attention to these areas as we did not bring any kids around.

Before leave the Legoland Malaysia, lets visit the souvenir shop. Maybe you could find something special for you and your kids at reasonable price.

When we travelled from hotel to Legoland Malaysia, the shuttle driver shared with us that the maximum time spend for a couple in this theme park normally around 3 hours. But both of us enjoyed up to 7 hours including lunch time in this Legoland. In overall, we are satisfied with this theme park and plan to visit it again in future, after it completed its expansion.

Due to raining, the outdoor facilities were temporary closed. We hang around in Land of Adventure areas to look for the shield and finally we noticed that there was crowd in Egypt style building. Without second thought, we made ourselves to the building and follow the queue. After look around then only we knew that it was the Lost Kingdom. 

Lost of Kingdom

Initially I thought it was the indoor roller coaster but I was wrong!! By hop on the auto-drive old style car, it would then bringing us to adventure for the lost treasure. Every car was equipped with 4 yellow laser gun for us to shoot the target (small yellow or red light) along the trip. Every successful shot would be scored and displayed on the screen in front of us. Lets compete with your friends and see who should be the top shooter...

From Lost of Kingdom, we walked towards the Dino Island. Wow..there was a thrilling journey waiting for us. Visitors need get into the boat and the conveyor would bring them to the peak of a forgotten volcano. From that point, the boat would then carried the visitors and flow down on the waterway. Be prepared to get wetted. Unfortunately we didn't bring extra clothes for ourselves, so just had chance to take photo but could not enjoy it..For information, around this area there were drying chambers that could help to dry up you and your clothes, but need to pay for it. However, I think it could only made us not too wet but could not achieve 100% dry for our clothes.

After that we moved to the next destination - Lego Kingdoms. When we walked near to the small castle as below, we heard someone snoring. Looking around and found that the 'Lego guard' was took a nap..haha...Without woke up the 'Lego guard', we got into the small castle and enjoyed the ride with Dragon's Apprentice. If found not challenging enough, lets took The Dragon and I'm quite sure the twists and turn would satisfied you.

But before you could get into The Dragon roller coaster, please find the entrance. Where is it? It is in the castle. Anyway, take photo with this unique building before start your ride.

For those kids that could not absorb such exciting activities, then the Royal Joust might suit to them. Let the kids ride on the Lego horse and posting, giving best position for parents to take a memorable photo for them. Oops..make sure you are 4-12 years old or you will be stopped from the ride..

After few hours of activities, time to have lunch and rest. Where to take the lunch?? Lets find out in Part IV.

Legoland Malaysia 2013 Part II

In overall, Legoland Malaysia gave me an impression which is different from Disneyland and Universal Studios. Legoland Malaysia is designed to cater for family with children rather than young couple like us. I'm sure that kids would really enjoy it, even for children at age 2-3 years old, there are also games designed for them. But for 'older' children, don't disappointed where there are also activities suit to our age, or the scenery in the park does worth back the ticket price.

Similar to other theme parks, Legoland Malaysia does have seven themed areas such as Lego City, Lego Kingdoms, Imagination, Land of Adventure, Miniland and etc. Upon entering to the park, we took a right turn and got into the Lego City. We move towards the crowd and found that there was a Junior Driving School. Children aged 3-5 years old busy drove their cars while parents keep on flashing to capture the best photo for their love one.

Then how about children aged 6 years above? Don't worry, there was another Driving School next to it which catered for children age between 6-13 years old. This mini park set-up with true traffic circuit and having instructors assisted to explain and control the traffic. Looks attractive but we were too 'old' to be allowed for the trial. Anyway, heard that this Driving School would reward the driver with Legoland Driver's License to children at the end

How about us?? What to do in this area? Haha..Finally we found something for ourselves-Boating School.

Initially I thought this battery powered boat was easy to control and just a simple job for both of us..Who knows I trapped in the pond for 15 mins, nearly could not move out and going to ask for assistance..haha! During our turn, it started to rain and we not allowed to open our umbrella. Didn't know the reason but I guessed they worry we might be flashed by the lighting.

After the boat ride, we move to the Rescue Academy. This game would examine you stamina.

Basically we need to compete with others in moving the vehicle - policevcar or the fire engine towards the building. How to move it? Need to pump..pump and pump..Once reached the required distance, then we need to get down from the vehicle and start to pump water and shoot the fire or robbers. Once the window was closed, then need to get back into the vehicle and pump it back to its parking space. The first team complete the task is champion but sorry there was no prize rewarded..

Lets took a rest after did such exercise in Rescue Academy. What was the option? Took Legoland Express and enjoyed all the sights of the park.

After the ride, then we walked towards the Land of Adventure...Part III

Legoland Malaysia 2013 Part I

When Disneyland officially having its theme park in Hong Kong, I felt so excited because this dreamland is now in Asia (beside Japan), giving me chance to experience it rather than dream in front of the tv. When Universal Studio is set up its theme park in Singapore, I felt even more excited because it just like located next door to me. After all, I'm thinking how come all this established theme parks never come to Malaysia and having their next wonderland with us. Finally we get one and it is the Legoland Malaysia.

Legoland Malaysia is located at Nusajaya Johor, Malaysia. For oversea visitors, the nearest airport to Legoland shall be Malaysia Senai International Airport. It is also reachable if your flight to Singapore Changi Airport, but of course need to cross Malaysia-Singapore border. Not like Disneyland Hong Kong and Universal Studios Singapore, Legoland Malaysia could not be reached by skytrain or subway. For visitors without own vehicle, the available public transport only taxi and buses. For better trip planning, I would recommend to book for hotel that ready with shuttle service to the Legoland. Previously I stayed in Kulai City Inn Hotel and it was ready with 7-seats Toyota Innova as shuttle to send us to Legoland. Single trip charged for 2pax was at RM50. If not mistaken, it took us roughly 30-45 mins to reach the destination.

The Legoland Malaysia is opened most of the day from 10am to 6pm but during weekends, public holidays and school holidays, the park might extended the business hour until 8pm or 10pm. However, there is also certain date that the park is closed. So, please check the Legoland website for the information to avoid disappointment.

The entrance ticket is available at the ticketing counters but if you had confirmed your trip 7 days before departure, then you may purchase the ticket on-line to get 20% discount while avoid the queue, just print out the e-ticket and scan at the entrance and you are welcome into the park.
