Legoland Windsor has announced that an exciting multi-million pound attraction, Atlantis - Submarine Voyage, will be unveiled at the theme park this summer.

Forming part of a wider £30 million investment from parent company, the Merlin Entertainments Group, Atlantis - Submarine Voyage will be an impressive £8 million attraction and the first Lego themed underwater ride in the world.

Families will be taken on an exhilarating marine voyage inside custom-built Lego themed submarines that hold up to 14 people. Inside they will explore a mesmerising 1,000,000 litre ocean tank featuring over 50 species of rare sharks, rays and tropical fish.

Nearly 100 striking, bespoke Lego brick models and features are being hand built to bring Atlantis to life by the Lego model building team. An estimated 2,683 hours of work creating the models will be completed ahead of the launch.

The new attraction is expected to create over 50 jobs for the Windsor theme park, with three specialist jobs for the aquarium; one displays curator and two aquarists.

She continued: We have the benefit of working with an experienced team whose talents will be showcased by this breathtaking attraction. I’m confident that Atlantis - Submarine Voyage will be a must-visit attraction for guests of all ages who’ll be enchanted by this fascinating underwater adventure.
