The Traditional "Turning Of The Lego Bricks" Ceremony

Recently, construction began on the second Legoland Discovery Centre in the US. But before any real work could be done, a “Turning of the Lego Bricks” ceremony had to occur. Yes, it’s as silly as this picture suggests.

Basically thousands of those lovely Lego bricks were poured onto the ground as the local mayor, a senator and other officials dug into the pile with shovels.

Silly, but that’s what it took to officially mark the beginning of the construction of a fantastic new 3252sqm playland, which will offer rides, a 4D cinema, party rooms, interactive features and even a Miniland that will feature landmark North Texas buildings, including a Cowboys Stadium made out of Lego.
