The UK’s Legoland Windsor has been awash with activity this week as the first of the Lego-themed submarines arrived at their new £8m ride, Atlantis Submarine Voyage.

Opening at the park early summer 2011, the Windsor resort has been eagerly awaiting eight submarines to surface following a 586 mile journey from the headquarters of German ride manufacturer, Mack Rides.

Due to open in the summer, Atlantis Submarine Voyage has been in development for the past year, and is now taking shape with the delivery and installation of the submarines which each weigh over 11 tonnes and hold up to 14 people.
