OMG - today was the single best day of my entire life. I finally got to cross a big ticket item off my 100 Things List and I got to go to Legoland! It was the best day of fun I've had in a really long time. I give it 10/10. Here's the 411:
I was in the hotel lobby at 9am to wait for the shuttle to Legland. It cost me just RM15 return and would easily be RM50-80 in taxis. Book the shuttle through the hotel!
Legoland Malaysia is awesome. Lots of rollercoasters, a log flume, miniatures of famous Asian buildings and landmarks made of Lego, a whole academy where you can play with Lego, a Lego brick shop...amazeballs!
I started with the miniature landmarks and then hit the log flume twice, where I was absolutely drenched. RM10 later spent in the drying pod and I was drip dry status. Next stop were the roller coasters - the Dragon one, the Dragon's apprentice one and the Technics one. They were awesome. I rode the Dragon one three times, the Dragon's apprentice one twice and the Technics one three times. I also went on some of the kiddie rides because they were there and I could. Plus, I rode the train around the park once too.
Around the park are staff members who are delighted to take photos of you. I had my photo taken on the log flume and bought it - RM30 later...I now know not to do that at every ride and it should be good pratice to avoid doing this tomorrow at Universal Studios in Singapore. Legoland sure empties your pockets - food and drink is very expensive and word to the wise, don't buy your Lego sets at Legoland. I saw the same set I bought at the park, on sale in Singapore for $10 AUD less than what I paid for it. Ugh!
Best advice I can give you is eat breakfast before you go to Legoland. A good, big breakfast. Get everything done (get on all the good rides EARLY) then when you are done head back through into Mall of Medini and have lunch or dinner there. Don't have it at the park. The signs at the entrance also say no outside food or drink but I wasn't checked. I am diabetic though and need to eat and drink regularly, so if I had been accosted I would have been fine!
I got everything done in about five hours. I then caught a taxi to Jusco Aeon Mall at Bukit Indah where a friend told me there were suitcases meeting my rigid specifications on sale. My specs? 4WD, Purple, internal zips (i.e. the kind you can't pop open with a ballpoint pen, check out the videos on YouTube!), hard shell, large. Finally found one for RM260 which worked out at $91 AUD. It's a very large case and would have cost me at least $250 AUD if I'd bought it back home so I'm well stoked!
It was RM25 in an executive taxi to the mall using the meter, but only RM20 back to Legoland in a normal taxi without a meter running. The return taxi driver thought he was ripping me off...more fool him!
I arrived back at Mall of Medini just in time for the shuttle van back to the hotel. I dumped my bag and headed back to the Delizio pizza joint for dinner where I had grilled chicken in black pepper sauce with coleslaw (didn't eat that) and wedges again. Awesome and only RM14 (about $5 AUD).
Have to pack now for Singapore so will upload the photos when I get there! Or just check on Facebook...lah!
