Thrill seekers poured into Legoland this weekend - and stepped straight into a movie.

To celebrate the launch of the current Lego Movie 2 the theme park in Winkfield Road, Windsor is running a new attraction entitled The Lego Movie 2 Experience.

Its first Lego Movie days were held on Saturday and Sunday.

Legoland model makers have been reconstructing a piece of the set from the new movie for five months.

Lauren Walton, head of public relations at Legoland, said: “The Lego Movie 2 experience is created out of 62,254 Lego bricks, featuring 628 types of Lego elements, utilizing 31 different colours. The new attraction offers guests a up-close look at Apocalypseburg from the movie and fans can stand in the same place as characters from the film and imagine being in the action. Legoland Model Makers have been reconstructing a piece of the set from the new movie for five months, working with Warner Bros.”

The theme park is also hosting Lego Movie days on this Saturday and Sunday and on March 30 and 31. During these selected days, visitors will also be able to meet stars of the movie; Emmet, Wyldstyle and Sweet Mayhem.
