Road Trip to JB - Day 2: Legoland

Here comes Surprise No. 2... Legoland. Actually it wasn't really a surprise for me, no thanks to the adults, for accidentally mentioning the place several times. From their conversations, I picked up hints and knew where we were going but I just played along and pretended to be ignorant hehe...

First of all, mummy felt quite guilty for making me skip 2 days of school. It was concert practice week so I actually didn't miss much at school. This was my first time ponteng-ing school for this year (besides the 3 days of "compassionate leave" taken to attend Yeh Yeh's funeral). After much consideration and self-justification, she felt that being absent for just 5 days in the whole school year isn't that bad after all la...

Day 2 (8th Oct) started with us eager-beavers waking up at 7am for breakfast and reaching Legoland at 9am. The park only opened an hour later at 10am. We killed time by hanging around at the Mall of Medini (the adjoining mall to Legoland).

*Runs* I wanna be the first, I wanna be the first! The whole park entrance was deserted... we were THAT early :p

Yes!! I'm the first visitor of the day (the man in the distant background is a Legoland staff) *happy dance* 

No queue at all at the ticketing counters... 

Saying hello to Legoland's mascot, Ollie the Dragon

The very first ride that caught our attention was this... Aquazone Wave Racers. I think I went on this ride no less than 6 times! 

Driving School... this was one of my favourites

See, I drove on the red car, the blue car and the yellow car, basically all the colours available :p

Flying an aircraft in the Lego City Airport

Putting out fire at the Lego Rescue Academy

Kid Power Towers

Boating School

The Legoland Express... a very colourful choo-choo train that I enjoyed riding on

Taking a spin in the Technic Twister

With the pretzel man in front of The Cafe, where we had lunch

Tuna sandwiches for lunch. The tomatoes (and some other fruits not in pic) were smuggled in by mummy from home :p

Duplo playtown

This was my FAVOURITE ride...  Royal Joust. Since there was no crowd for this ride, I went on it multiple times without having to get down to queue again. 

My very first roller coaster ride. It's a mini one called Dragon's Apprentice. I loved this ride so much that I wanted to ride on it again but too bad, it was closed for maintenance when we came back later

This was the very first thrill ride of my life... The Dino Island. Mummy was very surprised when I said I wanted to ride on this.

S-P-L-A-S-H!!!! It was fun. I was only a bit scared. Daddy and Koo-koo sat in front and surprisingly, both of them remained dry...

As for mummy and I sitting in the 2nd row, we were both drenched! I was soaking wet from my shoulder downwards while mummy was drenched from her waist down... both our shoes were also filled with water! We had to squeeze water out from our socks (we should have just worn our Crocs!)...

The few "drying stations" nearby didn't work and mummy did not bring any spare clothes along... so how? 

Well, we didn't need a dryer after all, especially when the heat from the blazing sun was FOC haha! After a few hours of walking under the hot sun, our clothes were naturally sun-dried. Even mummy's thick denim shorts was thouroughly dried when we left the park at closing time.

Of course, a couple of rounds on spinning rides (with washing machine spin-dry effect) such as this Merlin's Challenge helped too hahaha!

Lost Kingdom Adventure

At the Miniland

Besides watching a 4D movie in the Lego Studios, we also watched a live performance in the City Stage.

Pretending to be asleep beside the snoring man, feeling tired and ready to leave (few minutes to closing time)

Overall, it was 8 hours well-spent in Legoland. The weather was sunny and good. We managed to cover all the rides (except for the 2 big roller coasters for me), we had tonnes of fun, we had a great work-out (sweat like pigs) and we left with a happy heart and a big smile on our faces. The best part about going on a weekday was, there was no crowd at all. There was no need to queue for most of the rides and even if we did, the queuing time was never longer than 5 minutes. Will we come back again? Certainly!
