Legoland Malaysia opens with mini buildings galore
It's got a mini Taj Mahal and just about every other icon from Asia, all made out of millions of plastic bricks.
Legoland Malaysia opened to a crowd of 10,000 over the weekend with dozens of rides and iconic 1:20-scale buildings fashioned from plastic.
The Lego paradise was built on 76 acres of former palm tree hills in southern Malaysia across the Straits of Johor from Singapore. It's expected to draw visitors from the city-state and other countries. More than 50 million bricks were used in the theme park, which is divided into seven theme areas: the Beginning, Imagination, Lego Kingdom, Land of Adventure, Lego Technic, Lego City, and Miniland.
