Siegfried Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 As a few have noted in the Aussie Sales topic, the group that owns the LEGOLAND parks, Merlin Entertainments now own Sydney Aquarium. As a possible precursor to this deal, in late October a new sub attraction called LEGO on the Loose appeared at Sydney Wildlife World and Sydney Aquarium. I just moved to the area at the time so I didn't have time to go, but today I went to the Sydney Aquarium and to my surprise the attractions are still there. Does this bode well for a future Sydney LEGOLAND or at least an official store? I'd like to think so! In any case, here are the photos! This is DUPLO! Vandalism (or old age) highlights how these are made... Quote
AussieJimbo Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Awesome, thanks for the pics Siegried. Fingers crossed we see further developments... :classic: Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Totally mind-blowing pictures there 'Siegfried', thanks for sharing them with all of us. Like 'AJ' said, fingers crossed for more eh ? Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Lots of great stuff, a non-AFOL friend of mine from Sydney sent me some photos of these a couple of weeks ago, and it's nice to see some more shots of these fantastic builds. I really like that massive LEGO Great White Shark! Thanks for sharing these photos Sieggy! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Don't those look nice... love the mosaics; how they look like paintings. Quote
RileyC Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 They all look amazing! The mosaics definitely are my favourite cause they look so life like. But I dont think Zeus's abs look good in Lego. Though Lego would probably guarantee they are rock hard. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks for posting these mate Looks really nice and as you mentioned, hopefully bodes well for the future of a store. Apparently the Melbourne Myer is huge and has the first PAB in Aus as well, so maybe, just maybe we are growing enough. Quote
Grrr Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks. I saw this when I was in Sydney a few weeks ago, but gave it a miss as I've always found the Aquarium to be a tad expensive for what it is, so I'm pleased to see what they've got in terms of models. Quote

Siegfried Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks for the comments everyone. I was there today and saw all the huge models, I wonder if the models are hollow or solid? I believe a mix of both; ones such as the scuba diver I suspect has a very solid internal frame. I doubt any are 100% solid LEGO thought, but we do have a few people on this forum who work, or have worked, at the parks who would have a more accurate answer. Thanks.

Well I have two kids so it was a new experience for them. I wouldn't go by myself... certainly not to see a few models! But I dont think Zeus's abs look good in Lego. I think he's Poseidon or Neptune. Quote
RileyC Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I think he's Poseidon or Neptune. Ah crap! Me and my stupid quick posts. He also could be Aquaman. Quote
