World’s Tallest Lego Tower
Thousands of children and families helped celebrate Lego’s 50th year by building a 100ft tower made entirely of the plastic blocks at Legoland Windsor (UK). Each 20cm (roughly 8 inches) section was assembled on the ground and lifted into place with a crane. The tower took 4 days to build and is made up of over 500,000 Lego bricks.
How long the record will last is anyone’s guess. The previous record set just last year by a team from Toronto was 96ft using 464,000 bricks, which in turn edged out an earlier 94ft effort at Legoland California.
