Let's just hope they didn't take their inspiration from Legoland Windsor.

Miniland sure looks impressive though!

Love that Miniland is indoors. The weather really takes it toll on Minilands, especially the Florida and California locations.

Yeah the mini land does look ginormous . I just marvel and marvel at the ppl who've put these up together . what talent and what a job

they use the same models in multiple parks? some of those models I already saw in a 15 or so years old book.

crazy skyscrapers in the miniland.

Vortex

Well the development pace in Dubai is unreal . the sky line looks completely different every 3 years ..bigger , bolder . Majority of the buildings exhibited in the mini land are not older than 6 years

Much of what I saw in the sneak peak looked exactly like in Legoland Germany, from the entrance to the submarine to the castle, to the Egyptian theme to some of the larger models. Main difference being that most of the attractions are indoors, for obvious reasons. Miniland looked impressive, even though they didn't show very much of it, especially not the Burj Khalifa, which will surely be the centrepiece imho.

They claim the Burj Khalifa is the biggest lego tower built by Lego .

"At 17 meters (almost 56 feet tall), the mini Burj clocks in at over a 1,000 pounds and took 5,000 hours to build, reports the Khaleej Times. It also utilizes 439,000 LEGO bricks. "
