Legoland new Death Star now open

by

Death Star

Now open at Legoland California in the Star Wars Miniland is the Death Star! The Death Star is 8-fee wide, over 13-fee high and weights more than 1,900 pounds! We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at a media preview earlier this week and we loved it! My son loves anything lego and Star Wars so it was pretty much a win win for us. The cool death star has a super laser which lights up with green lights when zeros in on its target. It is made out of 500,000 lego bricks and includes the trench run scene where Luke Skywalker maneuvers through with his X-wing fighter, see below.

It is adjacent to the Lego Death Star, you can use your imagination to construct your very own Lego starships at building stations while X-Wings, TIE Fighters and Y-Wings circle overhead. My son loved building his own ship out of all of the fun Lego pieces surrounding the famous trench, were Luke Skywalker raced through the combat zone to destroy the Death Star. The Lego Star War Miniland Death Star is designed from the Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It includes six animated Turbo Laser Turrets and Lego starship models built out of more than 20,000 Lego bricks.

New Lego models have been added to each of the seven scenes including an underwater scene featuring an Opee sea killer on Naboo and a Jawa sandcrawler on Tattooine. At Legoland Star Wars Miniland you can enjoy 12 Lego models, each standing 3-feet-tall, of favorite Star Wars™ characters including Yoda, Wicket, Anakin and Princess Leia. A life-size LEGO Darth Maul honors the release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.

Rainy day schedule – go see McFarland USA

by

What is this wet stuff coming down from the sky? It can’t be rain, we live in Southern California! As we all know in SoCal we are in desperate need of rain, and this is the BIGGEST storm of 2015! While the rest of the country would laugh at our weatherman in describing this storm, we are wimps when it comes to weather. Since we will all be on a rainy day schedule this weekend I thought I would remind everyone of Disney’s newest movie McFarland USA. The movie received 5 stars and is perfect for most children as it is rated PG.

McFarland

The movie is base on the 1987 true story, that follows runners from McFarland, California a farm town located in Central California. The story is about a newcomer to the mostly Latino high school a coach named Jim White (Kevin Costner), he soon realizes the exceptional running ability the boys have. Between the family relationships and the relationships between the boys and coach something magical begins to happen. The cross-country team overcomes odds and goes all the way to the championship.

Disney’s “McFarland, USA” stars Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Morgan Saylor, Martha Higareda, Michael Aguero, Sergio Avelar, Hector Duran, Rafael Martinez, Johnny Ortiz, Carlos Pratts, Ramiro Rodriguez, Danny Mora, Valente Rodriguez, Vanessa Martinez, Chris Ellis and Diana Maria Riva, and is directed by Niki Caro with screenplay by Christopher Cleveland & Bettina Gilois and Grant Thompson, and story by Cleveland & Gilois. Gordon Gray and Mark Ciardi are producing, with Mario Iscovich and Mary Martin serving as executive producers. “McFarland, USA” and was first released February 20, 2015.
