			5 Jun 2007 World’s Largest LEGO Tower Completed in California! A new world record was once again set when the world’s largest LEGO tower was built last week in LEGOLAND California. After five days of building, the tower was measured at 94.3 feet, breaking the previous record set in Denmark in 2006 by almost one foot.
	The tower is built out of more than 465,000 LEGO bricks and soars over the family theme park’s main entrance. This record-breaking event concluded with a special ceremony when Carlsbad Mayor Bud Lewis placed the final gold brick on a special “treasure” topper made of gold, yellow and clear LEGO bricks designed by Master Model Builder, Kristi Klein. The record breaking tower is shaped like a pirate ship mast to celebrate the opening of the fifth attraction in the Pirate area. A LEGOLAND pirate boarded a crane that sailed him all the way to the top of the mast to snap the final treasure into place.
