LEGOLAND^® Florida Resort Unveils New Life-Size 

Ford F-150^® Lightning^™ Truck in Theme Park

 

New Build is the First and Largest All-Brick Electric Vehicle Model Currently 

on Display at any LEGOLAND^® Park in North America

Special delivery! LEGOLAND^® Florida Resort just unveiled the newest vehicle in its LEGO^® brick build fleet – the Ford F-150^® Lightning^™, now on display in the Theme Park in front of the Ford^® Driving School.

 

A team of 15 Master Model Builders started building the truck in mid-July at The LEGO Group’s U.S. headquarters in Enfield, Conn. The team spent more than 1,600 hours assembling the design, which includes 320,740 LEGO^® bricks. The new 3,730-pound build measures in at more than 19 feet long and nearly 7 feet wide, making this the largest (and first!) electric vehicle model currently on display at any LEGOLAND^® Park in North America.

LEGOLAND Florida Resort partnered with long-time sponsor Southern Ford Dealers to build the one-of-a-kind, life-size model in celebration of Ford’s all-electric truck launch earlier this year. This 1:1 replica is modeled after the Ford F-150^® Lightning^™ LARIAT featuring a four-door, crew cab design, complete with a full-size truck bed, runner boards and working headlights and taillights.

 

This brick Ford F-150^® Lightning^™ is exclusive to LEGOLAND Florida Resort and will be on permanent display outside the Ford^® Driving School. At Ford^® Driving School and Jr. Ford^® Driving School, little brick fans conquer the rules of the road while pretending to be policemen, firewomen, taxi drivers or any driver they choose in LEGO^® City and earn their own personalized LEGOLAND Driver’s License. The Ford^® Mustang build, known as the Brick Pony, will be relocated to a nearby courtyard for guests to visit. 

 

The best way for guests to see this new truck build, experience the Ford^® Driving School and all the awesome fun of LEGOLAND is to purchase an Annual Pass. Earlier this week, LEGOLAND Florida Resort introduced its own lineup of all-new Annual Passes, starting at less than $13/month after a small down payment.
