HIT Entertainment and Merlin Entertainments Group have commissioned SD Entertainment and Threshold Animation Studios to bring the movie, Bob the Builder™ In 4-D: Bob the Builder and the Roller Coaster exclusively to Legoland® family theme parks worldwide.
Debuting in March 2009, the never-before-seen movie in 4-D will have its first screenings at Legoland California and Legoland Windsor in the United Kingdom.
The other two Legoland parks in Denmark and Germany as well as Legoland Discovery Centers will then show the film in April. Bob the Builder and the Roller Coaster will air in Legoland theatres daily during normal operating hours.
In the movie, Bob the Builder™ and his friends demonstrate teamwork and follow-through as they learn the importance of starting each building project with a plan. Bob, along with his Can-Do Crew, are busy building a roller coaster. They build a model out of Lego® Duplo® bricks before starting work on the real roller coaster.
Exclusive to Legoland for one year in the UK, US, Germany and Denmark, the 10-minute film uses 3-D computer generated (CG) animation with special glasses and special effects – such as wind and mist in the theatre -- for a 4-D effect.

|

leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
