Ninjago World opens at Legoland Florida The latest Lego Ninjago
World has opened at Legoland Florida Resort in Winter Haven. The all- new land is filled with several hands-on, outdoor activities where kids can sharpen their ninja skills before the ultimate showdown on Ninjago The Ride, a dark ride by Triotech that blends 3D computer animation, 4D effects and gesture-based interactive technology. Wearing 3D glasses, riders sit four across in a red ride vehicle, as pictured
below. A single lapbar, equipped with four sensors, secures the passengers. Each must respond to colour-coordinated movements on the screen and on their individualised scoreboard in the car. The vehicle glides in front of a series of screens with tasks to complete and bad guys to conquer. Ninjago World is inspired by the popular Lego building sets and the Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV show. Ninjago-themed lands and dark rides can already be found at Legoland parks in California, Malaysia and Billund (Denmark) and will open soon at Legoland Windsor near London and Legoland Deutschland.
