Following on from the announcement that LEGO MYTHICA will be home to the UK’s first ever flying theatre ride - Flight of The Sky Lion, guests can now see first-hand the epic scale of the lead attraction which stands at over 25 metres tall.
As well as its magnificent exterior, the exclusive photos show inside this UK first, as the team experience the new ride themselves and carry out the final tests before opening. Flight of the Sky Lion is a 4D experience, exciting the senses with wind, mist and even smell that has been synchronised with the animated film to fully immerse families in the world of LEGO MYTHICA.
Once aboard the new Flying Theatre ride, families will be taken under the Sky Lion’s wing and transported to the parallel universe of LEGO MYTHICA, where mythical LEGO creatures come to life. As they swoop, duck and dive over the incredible landscape, families will come face-to-face with the realm’s many characters, including the two-headed Hydra (Duo), Fire and Ice Bird (Crystal Flame) and the Greek mythology inspired Chimera creature.
Unveiled for the first time is Fire and Ice Freefall, standing at 13 metres tall (the equivalent of 325 LEGO Minifigures) this pair of drop rides is defended by another one of LEGO MYTHICA’s guardians Crystal Flame.
Hydra’s Challenge has also been revealed, an exhilarating water ride that is also protected by one of LEGO MYTHICA’s guardians Duo. Aspiring explorers will need to prepare to get wet on Hydra’s Challenge as they steer their own vessel on this thrilling water attraction.
Also set to feature in the new land will be Creature Creation where guests can build their very own LEGO MYTHICA creatures; an adventure play area called Lava Dragon Play; the Creature Encounter character meet and greet experience, and The Hungry Troll restaurant and Beastly Bites snack bar.
The park’s existing 4D Cinema will feature a new and exclusive LEGO MYTHICA film which tells the story behind the mysteries of the parallel universe.
Not to be missed will be the 13 mythical creatures made from more than 1.7 million LEGO bricks by a team of 15 master builders over the course of 8,649 hours, almost a full year of building. Adorning the Flying Theatre building will be the breath-taking model of the Sky Lion, Maximus, made of 685,530 LEGO bricks, weighing more than 5,819 kilogrammes. Using the park’s new augmented reality technology, guests will be able to see all the mythical LEGO creatures come to life before their very eyes using the LEGOLAND App.

Helen Bull, Divisional Director at LEGOLAND Windsor:
“We’re thrilled to give our guests a first look at LEGO MYTHICA: World of Mythical Creatures and showcase some of the attractions, experiences and models that will be unveiled when we open in May.
We worked in partnership with Kids Industries and spent a year discussing and testing ideas and concepts with seven to 11-year olds and their parents who influenced everything from the final ride experiences, names and characters. It’s amazing to see the journey from that point to now and we’re confident LEGOLAND fans will love LEGO MYTHICA.”
LEGO MYTHICA: World of Mythical Creatures is currently under construction and will be found between Heartlake City and the LEGO-themed resort hotels.
