CARLSBAD, Calif. (March 7, 2013) – A heroic new attraction is arriving to LEGOLAND® California Resort as LEGO® Legends of Chima is brought to life in an exclusive 4D movie x-perience. The new 12 minute animated 4-D film, complete with high-impact special effects, will immerse audiences in the fantastical LEGO world of Chima where tribes of animal warriors compete in epic battles for “CHI” – a mystical energy source of limitless power and destruction.

The story follows four young animals as they take a guided tour of the island of Chima with Plovar the Parrot and become entwined in a struggle between good and evil as they help their hero, Laval the Lion Prince, do battle with Cragger the Crocodile King. State of the art 3D animation and 4D technology brings the audience right into the heart of the journey as they plunge into dramatic landscapes, fly through the magical waters of Mount Cavora, soar over the majestic Speedorz™ Arena of Chima in a high speed chase and find out who wins the day, good or evil.

The new LEGO® Legends of Chima 4-D movie x-perience will be shown throughout the day at LEGO® Showplace Theater inside the Imagination Zone in the Park and officially opens March 8. For show times, please visit www.LEGOLAND.com.
