LEGOLAND California is giving creative adults the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be an integral part of their newest and largest expansion project, Pirate Shores. The major north county attraction is scouring the nation for the next member of their prestigious Model Builder team. The theme park also recently launched a website dedicated to the Model Builder job search, designed to assist in its quest.
The new site, www.LEGOLANDModelBuilder.com lists for the first time the dates and locations of the nationwide search. The Art Institutes, a system of 32 education institutions across North America, will be the official host location in each city
"We recently announced the largest expansion in LEGOLAND California's seven year history. Pirate Shores opens this summer with four new water play attractions. This addition requires incredible minds who can help create the whimsical and charismatic LEGO? models that delight our guests," said Julie Estrada, LEGOLAND spokesperson. "We're combing the nation in search of adults that never gave up their love of designing and building with LEGO bricks."
In the seven-city tour spanning the country, LEGOLAND is giving thousands of adults the opportunity that many only dream of, to get paid to play with toys. In an effort to streamline the search process, the new website will assist interested applicants in applying online and give more details about the sought-after position. Also included on the site will be more in depth information about the current Model Builders at LEGOLAND California, how they got started and what advice they offer Model Builder wanna-be's.
The current team of Model Builders designs, builds and maintains the more than 15,000 LEGO? models that make LEGOLAND California a one-of-a-kind vacation destination. Candidates applying for this dream job are given a 10-pound bucket full of assorted LEGO play materials and have one hour to create a model on the requested theme in each city.
The nationwide search officially began February 20 at LEGOLAND California and will continue with pit stops at Art Institutes at the following locations:
The Art Institute of California, Los Angeles
The Art Institute of California, San Francisco
The Art Institute of Phoenix
The Art Institute of New York City
The Art Institute of Dallas
The Illinois Institute of Art, Chicago
Finalists from each city will be invited to travel to LEGOLAND California to compete against other winners and interview for the coveted spot as the sixth Model Builder in May, 2006.
Potential Model Builders can register in each city at www.LEGOLANDModelBuilder.com. Pre-registration is encouraged as each location's walk-up registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is subject to availability. Those interested can check the website to see photos of the finalists' models from each city and learn more about LEGOLAND Model Builder team at LEGOLAND California.
