A Special Partnership with Merlin Entertainments: Documenting Legoland Projects
Our company has enjoyed a longstanding collaboration with Merlin Entertainments, playing a vital role in documenting some of their most notable Legoland projects. We have worked closely with Merlin to capture the creation of intricate LEGO builds destined for Legoland Discovery Centres around the world. This enduring partnership highlights our shared commitment to preserving and showcasing these incredible constructions through detailed documentation.
Between 2010 and 2011, we were privileged to play a key role in recording the creation of several remarkable LEGO builds. Using our time-lapse cameras, we provided an inside view of the construction process, showing how thousands of LEGO bricks come together to form iconic structures. These builds have gone on to be centrepieces at various Legoland Discovery Centres, and our footage has served as an invaluable tool in sharing the craftsmanship behind each display.
One of our earliest and most memorable projects during this time involved documenting the construction of two iconic landmarks for the Manchester Legoland Discovery Centre. The Blackpool Tower and the Midland Hotel were meticulously recreated in LEGO form, each requiring weeks of careful assembly by expert builders. Our time-lapse footage captured every stage of these projects, from the first bricks being laid to the final details being added. The finished builds now serve as highlights of the Manchester attraction, offering visitors an opportunity to see these local landmarks in a unique way.

In 2011, we expanded our documentation work to include projects destined for Legoland attractions outside the UK. One such build was the Tokyo Skytree, an ambitious replica of the tallest structure in Japan. This project required both precision and attention to detail, and our time-lapse cameras were there to record every step of the process. The footage not only showcased the intricate work of the builders but also highlighted the sheer scale of the Skytree model. Once completed, the build was shipped to the Tokyo Legoland Discovery Centre, where it remains a key attraction.
Another significant project we documented during this period was the construction of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. This impressive LEGO replica was created for the Grapevine Mills Legoland Discovery Centre in Dallas, Texas. The model required extensive planning and execution, as it aimed to capture the scale and complexity of one of the most recognisable sports venues in the United States. Through our time-lapse footage, we were able to highlight the teamwork and dedication involved in completing the stadium, offering a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the process.
Our partnership with Merlin Entertainments has allowed us to witness and document the creativity and expertise required to bring these LEGO builds to life. Over the years, our footage has not only served as a record of these projects but also helped to engage audiences worldwide, showcasing the talent and precision involved in each construction.

Looking back on our work with Legoland between 2010 and 2011, it is clear that these projects represent much more than just displays at theme parks. They reflect a global effort to celebrate creativity, engineering, and storytelling through the medium of LEGO. From the UK to Japan and the United States, the models we documented have brought joy to countless visitors and demonstrated the universal appeal of these attractions.
Our special relationship with Merlin Entertainments continues to thrive, and we remain committed to capturing the essence of their projects through our time-lapse documentation. These efforts have not only cemented our role as a trusted partner but also allowed us to contribute to the success of Legoland Discovery Centres worldwide. As we look to the future, we are excited to continue documenting new builds and helping to share the story behind each creation with a global audience.
