Work has started on the parks next big attraction, set to be a Lego Ninjago Dark Ride. Being put in the place of the old Loki’s Labyrinth and Longboat Invader the attraction will a replica of the Lego Ninjago ride that recently opened at Legoland Billund? The park map also reflects this change of ride line up with the maze and longboat invader taken off of the map. With a “Arriving 2017” sticker placed over the two rides.
Loki’s Labyrinth and Longboat Invader closed on Tuesday with nothing posted on the resort’s social media pages or website! Since then work to remove the two attractions and prepare the site ready for foundations has commenced. In just under a week the old maze entrance and water fountain area are both completely unrecognisable!! Its like they've driven a massive bulldozer through the site to flatter the area.
The footpaths looking into the site currently just have normal construction fences meaning you can see everything going on. We expect over the next few days wooden fences will be put up and marketing material will be put on it to stop guests looking at the building site.

Back in March 2016 we reported Legoland Windsor Resort had applied for planning permission to build a new attraction in the space currently occupied by Loki's Labyrinth. We expect the attraction will be similar to the Lego Ningio Ride that recently opened in Legoland Florida and Billund.
It would seem that over the past week or so, the park have been given the green light to build the attraction. Previously the park has had issues trying to build new rides and attractions however it would seem the council are now on the parks side.

Legoland Windsor Resort have recently put in planning permission for a brand new attraction. Situated on the current Loki's Labyrinth maze. The application description gives us the following information:
“Development of a new ride to replace the existing Loki's Labyrinth attraction, including erection of new building, entrance portal, courtyard, temple and associated queue line, infrastructure and landscaping”
With the address on the application saying “Ninjago Legoland Winkfield Road Windsor” we can expect that the ride will have a Ninjago theme. In the past year Legoland opened a LEGO Ninjago attraction at the Legoland Billund theme park. The ride features sections where guests use their hands to control certain elements during the ride.
With the new ride being hosted on the Loki's Labyrinth maze site the attraction would also see the movement of Longboat Invader to another area of the park. If the ride was to go ahead with the Ninjago theme this could mean Vikings River Splash and Spinning Spider could be in with a chance of getting a retheme since the Land of the Vikings LEGO sets are no longer available. If approved by the local authorities we would expect the attraction to open along side the hotel in 2017.
