Legoland Denmark
As part of my trip to Denmark in September for EuroBSDCon, many of the attendees visited Legoland in Billund, about 4 hours away by coach from Copenhagen. It was a fascinating place and I took lots of photos, a few of which are now online.
The majority of Legoland consisted of models of famous buildings and places from around the world, such as America, Japan and Africa. There were also rides, such as being flung around on the end of an industrial robot arm, or a more relaxing revolving tower to get a good view of the park. Some however decided to make activities a bit more challenging.
For the more competitive minded, there were suitable activities. One that excited the various operating system hackers present was to build a downhill racing car. We were very proud that with our combined knowledge and experience we could design a marginally faster model than a group of 5 or so year old children. I did at times wonder who were the bigger kids :-)
We were lucky with the weather and it was a fun experience, though the exhibits were not without occasional technical problems, even ignoring the invasion of monster ducks :-)
