While Australian’s eagerly await our first LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in 2017, there is a much larger LEGO attraction a short plane ride away. We don’t cover a lot of LEGOLAND Malaysia news but we received some information earlier today that might be of interest to LEGO fans on the fence about a future trip, particularly Ninjago fans.
LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort will be home to the first ever live Ninjago show entitled LEGO ‘Ninjago and The Realm of Shadows’. Scripted by award-winning Hollywood movie writers Kevin and Dan Hageman (who also wrote The LEGO Movie and the Ninjago™ TV series), the show has been created by an international team from seven countries.
The 20 minute show will see your favourite Ninjago characters brought to life with Bunraku-style puppetry (featuring 6 different 1.2m tall hand crafted puppets), state-of-the-art 4D special effects and mind-blowing video mapping.
LEGO Ninjago™ and The Realm of Shadows will open to the public at LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort on 28 August 2015 at the air-conditioned LEGO City Stage and will be shown daily.
LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort General Manager Mark Germyn said, “We are very proud to be the first LEGOLAND Park in the world to launch this attraction, and especially something of this scale. I’ve seen the work that goes behind the scenes, and we know that our visitors are in for a real treat – the mixture of technology with traditional Bunraku style puppetry is quite innovative and the storyline should be a thrill for the children.”
In this live show, the Ninjas – Kai, Nya, Zane, Cole, Jay and Lloyd – are on a mission to protect Bandit, a YinYang Dragon, who will one day grow up to be a powerful Light Dragon. The audience and the Ninjas must work together to protect Ninjago from the evil Clouse and his Shadow Minions who want to steal Bandit and plunge Ninjago into the Realm of Shadows.
