MANCHESTER TO JOIN LEGOLAND® DISCOVERY CENTRES AS THEY UNITE IN TEACHING THE WORLD HOW TO BUILD
FOLLOWING a global vote to find the world’s favourite LEGO model the eight LEGOLAND Discovery Centres across the world, including Manchester, are set to teach the world how to build a Christmas Train from the famous bricks.
The attractions are set to make Guinness World Record history as they bring together the largest number of people learning to build the same LEGO model across the world at any one time.
The record will be attempted on Thursday 15 November, Guinness World Record Day, when the LEGOLAND Discovery Centres will hold a bumper day of model building as they attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the “largest toy construction lesson”, or master model builder’s workshop.
The Master Model Builders at the LEGOLAND Discovery Centres hold over 40,768 LEGO building classes across the world each year, teaching over 1,019,200 children how to build using about 40, 768,000 LEGO bricks but this time they will all be holding one lesson simultaneously across the world on one day at the same time.
The ten lessons will be held in Atlanta, Berlin, Chicago, Dallas, Duisberg, Kansas City, Manchester (holding two lessons), Oberhausen and Tokyo for 30 mins at exactly the same time of day starting at 6am in Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City; 7am in Atlanta; whilst it will be 9pm on the other side of the world in Tokyo, Japan; 12 noon here in the Manchester, UK and 1pm in Germany.
Following a global vote across the attraction’s social networks of over 68 thousand fans the favourite LEGO model chosen was an 82 brick, red and green, festive train.
Before the vote the eight especially recruited Master Model Builders put their heads together and selected three models for the world’s LEGO fans to vote on for the lessons. Voters were asked to chose between a turkey, a christmas train and a rocking horse.
