Legoland® Atlantis Submarine Voyage at Legoland Windsor
Divers Wanted!
Take the plunge with this world-first LEGO® submarine ride and join the LEGO divers on a fun fishy mission that the whole family will enjoy. Venture along a secret passage, hidden in the heart of LEGOLAND®, on a journey to the bottom of the sea and see if you can spot all the amazing creatures and incredible LEGO models in your search for the ancient ruins of Atlantis.
Families are taken on an exhilarating marine voyage inside custom-built LEGO®-themed submarines that hold up to 14 people. The eight custom-built LEGO-themed submarines arrived for installation in the ride after a 586 mile journey from renowned theme park ride manufacturer in Germany. The yellow submarine installed outside the attraction is one of the parks largest LEGO models. The model contains over 400,000 LEGO bricks and it took four model makers over 800 hours to build.
Inside the tank are nearly 100 striking, bespoke LEGO brick models and features to bring Atlantis to life. It took over 2,500 hours of work to create the models.
After populating the tank with the amazing variety of fish and several weeks of training and test runs, the ride, costing £8 million to build, opened in May 2011.
The attraction is housed in a building in the style of an underwater Atlantis palace. Your wait for a ride can vary from a few minutes to an hour depending on the season and time of day but the ride runs continuously and the loading system is very efficient meaning that you are always moving. On entering the building you enter a dark 'secret' passageway with information panels and an information video on the submarine boarding procedure. After boarding the submarine, the hatch is closed the submarine 'dives' into the one million litre ocean tank and you are on your way.
The attraction is really brought to life by over 50 species of rare sharks, rays and tropical fish, all actively swimming away in the distance as well as right next to the submarines' windows and all around you. The large windows in the submarines and the atmospheric lighting in the tank give you an excellent view and impression of being deep underwater. Your underwater mission passes through several zones of the tank starting with a tropical reef with many brightly coloured fish. The main area contains the 'ruins of Atlantis' and hundreds more fish including many sharks and rays swimming in groups or alone.
There are interactive elements to the ride too. Video information displays panels and a narration by the submarine mission specialists add to your excitement. Younger guests can help with the mission by identifying fish and can even 'save' the mission by pressing the control buttons at the right time.
On disembarkation from the submarine, you visit the aquarium area, see your friends 'underwater' surrounded by fish and even touch some sea-creatures in the tactile tanks.
Immerse yourself in a magical underwater adventure!
