LEGOLAND Windsor Begins Massive Vikings River Splash Demolition

The permit to remove the Vikings River Splash ride has been approved, and demolition work is now in full swing. Heavy machinery is on site, starting with the removal of a section of the rapids to improve access. Piles of metal rebar from the trough are stacked on the ground, waiting to be collected in large skips before the major demolition begins.

Dismantling the ride is no small task — this was a concrete-heavy rapids ride, and crews are carefully breaking down sections piece by piece. Massive chunks of concrete and steel are being removed, making way for the next phase of the project. Watching the machinery and teams tackle this enormous task is impressive, and a little bittersweet for fans who have loved the ride over the years.

As for what comes next? Rumors are already swirling that the area could be transformed into a NINJAGO® spinning rollercoaster, similar to the one that recently opened at NINJAGO®: Masters of Spinjitzu in LEGOLAND Korea. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but fans are excited to imagine what could take the place of the Vikings River Splash!
