Polar bears made from Lego greet visitors on the ride
Polar Land, Legoland Billund, Denmark
Polar Land, Legoland Billund’s biggest-ever attraction, combines live penguins with Lego polar animals and a thrilling roller coaster.
66 Attractions Handbook 2013–2014
The attraction was themed by Theming and Animatronics Industries (TAA), and takes visitors on a polar expedition through Arctic wildlife. They can enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace on foot or board a snowmobile on the Polar X-plorer free fall coaster ride, which includes a 5m (16ft) drop. Riders are taken inside an iceberg where Lego-shaped ice cubes, icicles and sculptures create a winter wonderland, based on Legoland’s
Tom Christiansen’s design. The last leg of the Polar X-plorer ride takes visitors past 17 penguins in a pool behind glass, which has been created to closely resemble the penguin’s natural habitat. The penguins can also be viewed through a large window inside the theme park’s Polar Pizza and Pasta restaurant.
The decoration works took TAA’s team of 18 specialists 15 weeks to complete.
