Finishing of World Tallest Lego Tower
Far View of World Tallest Lego Tower
Standing tall at a whopping 29.3 metres (96.12 feet), it was made of 465,000 bricks,the World’s Tallest LEGO tower was finally completed this past Wednesday morning at the C.N.E. fair grounds here in Toronto. Originally the plan was to have the tower completed earlier on Monday, but high winds and dark weather kept tossing about the 100-foot boom crane used in adding new LEGO sections. It took three attempts to finally get the last section in place and when they did, representatives from the Guinness Book of World Records were on hand to officially measure the tower and confirm the achievement into the record books. Completed under the supervision of professional LEGO buiiders Per Knudsen & Erik Therkelsen, who were flown in from Billund, Denmark, the construction itself was done with the help of kids and familes who were visiting the C.N.E. fairgrounds
You got your get your facts straightened out and sort out your pictures. The world’s largest LEGO tower is currently in LEGOland Windsor in England. That’s your second photo (come on, did you really think they would put a Danish and a British flag on the top of a tower built in Canada?).
Before that, the title went to a tower built in 2007 at the CNE in Toronto. Judging from the style of the tower and the surrounds, it looks like yout first and third photo is of the Toronto tower (mirroring the style of the CN Tower).
And before that, the title was held by a tower built in LEGOland in California.
