Miniland The highlights
of Billund's miniature city.

Franz Josef Strauss Airport, Munich,
Germany
This model is so amazing that I don't know where to
start. Built to minifig scale, this 1.5 million brick masterpiece
includes planes taxiing up and down, docking with the passenger
tubes. The complex is highly detailed and there are Red
Arrows, cargo trucks and a maintenance bay.
If you didn't know already, the picture on
the right could almost be of a real airport! Around this
model are roads with cars and a main terminal.
DO NOT MISS IT!!!

Copenhagen City centre
The models of Copenhagen are so accurate that we even
found the ice-cream shop where we bought an ice-cream (circled
in black) , and the jetty where we took a tour boat from!
The model of the houses and boats are also
quite impressive, but unless you have been to Copenhagen
yourself, then you won't appreciate the accuracy of this
display.

Oil Rig
A highly impressive structure, with model boats circling
the base. The detail, once again, is really impressive,
and you can see the helipad, burner and living quarters.
It is also suspended out of the water, making
it more imposing, as it is almost as high as you are.

Los Angeles - Film Centre
Now this is a good idea! Using the new Mindstorms camera,
this is a model of the filming of an alien show. By looking
in viewers, you can see the view from the camera, as the
action unfolds. Even better, you can control the movement
of the cameras from levers attached to the viewer. Finally,
by choosing the type of film (Action or Romance), you choose
the style of music.
The model also combines the Life on Mars series.

Los Angeles - The Rest
In addition to the interactive section before, the new
Los Angeles section includes some other great models. This
picture is of the cinema where the new film will be showing.
Other highlights of this sction are the homes
of famous movie stars on the hill, a model of a truck which
my Breakdown Truck was based upon, and a cool fire-engine
and city skyline.

Football Stadium / Pop concert
This stadium was originally a football match, but by
the time we visited, it had become a pop concert with the
new Bionicle models. It includes a retractable roof, operated
by a button at the side, and a video of the 'real' people
doing the song being performed.
The model looks a little odd in its changed
state, as many of the supporters in the stands are not looking
at the concert, and are waving big flags.
