NINJAGO World, located within LEGOLAND California, is now open! We attended the press preview prior to the new area opening to the public.

NINJAGO World features a new 4D ride, children’s rock climbing wall, playground spinners, a walk-up Asian-inspired restaurant, LEGO building area, and large NINJAGO-themed LEGO models.

The main attraction within NINJAGO World is NINJAGO The Ride. This new, interactive ride incorporates heat, smoke, and wind. Riders wear 3D glasses and use hand gesture technology to interact with media shown throughout the ride.

Here’s a video we made from our preview of NINJAGO The Ride:

The ride is 3 1/2 minutes in length, and although it does not have a height requirement, it does require guests under 48″ to ride with an adult. The ride carts are roomy, as they’re designed for up to four riders each. Each rider can use their virtual ninja skills to gain points while battling amongst each other.

Cole’s Rock Climb is one of the hands-on activities for kids in NINJAGO World. The wall has some grips for scaling, as well as a padded area at the foot of it. It isn’t super high, making it an appealing area for kids both big and small.

Kids can practice the art of “spinjitzu” on playground spinners in the new area as well. Like the climb wall, these ride-ons are also surrounded by soft turf at the foot of them.

Guests can have fun building Ninjago-inspired creations with LEGO bricks at Zane’s Temple Build, which is located in the center of NINJAGO World.

You don’t have to go far to get a bite to eat inside NINJAGO World. Ninja Kitchen offers Asian-inspired food such as Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwiches, available with either chicken, pork, or tofu.

If you’re looking for Ninjago-themed merchandise, look no farther than Wu’s Warehouse! This store is chock-full of cool Ninjago items from backpacks to swords to LEGO sets, and SO much more!

If you love LEGO like we do, you are sure to be amazed by the twenty-two large Ninjago LEGO models in NINJAGO World! Well over 1 million LEGO bricks were used to create the masterpieces. Be sure to save room in your memory card for pics!
