LEGOLAND California - practical joke

The Model Shop team at LEGOLAND California played a prank on their General Manager: They borrowed his car keys, moved his Volvo XC60, and then used a forklift to replace it with a life-sized LEGO model of a similar Volvo XC90, then they put his car keys back.


The XC90 LEGO model was built with 201,076 LEGO bricks and weighs 2,934 pounds. It was actually built in 2004, but looked so much like the manager's car that he didn't notice until the last second when he went to get in his car. See the video clip, showing the swap and then the manager discovering the prank. Video and story at this link: geekosystem.com/legoland-swap-car-lego
