The lego athlete figures
World’s tallest lego tower in Legoland Windsor
Remember when South Korea built that 31.9 metres high Lego tower with the help of 4,000 children and over 500,000 Lego bricks? It was built over the span of five days and South Korea beat the record set in France by 30 centimetres. Even Danish Crown Prince Frederik came out for this celebration as he placed the last brick on their tower. As glorious as that sounds, it seems like there’s a new competitor in town.
London has just built the world’s tallest Lego tower in LegoLand Windsor. The tower measures 32 metres, beating South Korea’s record of 31.9 metres.More than half a million Lego pieces were used to build the tower and construction lasted for about four days. Furthermore, Lego athlete figures have been stacked at the top of the toy tower as it symbolizes the 2012 London Olympics, which start on Friday, July 27th, 2012.
DID YOU KNOW?: The very first Lego tower was originally constructed in 1988 in London, measuring around 50 feet. Since then, the record has been broken more than 30 times.
