Building a Legoland theme park using lego architecture sets

[kc2dc]

I love architecture skyline sets, but was not sure what do do with them.  They obviously are not the right scale to put them in the city.  We just finished having a lego fair in our city and so I thought, wouldn't be cool to build a more permanent amusement park rather than just a fair and base it off the Legoland themeparks!  And here we are.  Nearing completion on the park.  We still have a lot of detail to add, vendors, all the mini fig visitors and workers, the main entrance, parking lot and drop off area and a station for the mono rail ride.  But it's coming together and should turn out pretty nice I think.

Looking good!

Nice work so far! I see that you're using the Architecture sets as the "Miniland" bit. I like that a lot!

That surely is a cool idea, thinking outside the box.

Omg! That is an incredible great idea!! Very nice usage of the "off-scale" sets!! Well done!

Can we get some up-close shots of the airplane ride? Also, does the roller-coaster work? Looking good!

Consider doing a World's Fair style building or venue. You could have booths or rooms for each country, which would be a good use for some of the collectible figs, but you might not be able to use the entirety of each architecture set.

Thanks everyone. Here are some more progress photos including some closeups of a couple of the rides.  Still working on the main entrance, drop off area and parking lots.  I need to order some more grey "flag poles" so I can display all the flags that came with the speed champions sets since this is going to be Legoland "World".  I know, silly sounding, but that's all I could come up with.  Then we can go back and start adding all the food vendors and visitors to the park.

Thats a great idea! The entrance looks good. But i think everyrhing is to far apart. 

It should be more compact i think. The pathways are way to wide i think

Very clever idea to include the architecture sets in a theme park. I must admit, the way you did it is makes it look really good! Nice work!

I think this is one of the best builds I have seen in a long time, be proud of your work, this is great.  Having been to the Cali LEGOLAND, I feel you nailed the feel of it.

Thanks for the comments.  I thought this would get more feedback here, but we did have fun building it for sure. Here is a video of of the finished park.  Now, I think we will tear this down and build a race track using the Speed Champions sets!
