The Knights' Kingdom theme centered on a conflict involving the Lions, led by King Leo, and the Bulls, led by outlaw Cedric The Bull. This theme had many small sets with minifigures, and was the first Castle theme to feature two female minifigs, Queen Leonora and Princess Storm. The Lion shields were similar to those of the Royal Knights. The Lions castle was King Leo's Castle (6098), while the Bulls did not have a castle. [7] The new Castle theme will combine elements from Kingdoms and Castle (2007). It will offer a new story, yet the royal elements are the same as Kingdoms; Lions and Dragons. However, the colors will be blue for the lion knights and red for the dragon knights, somewhat similar to the 2007 Castle theme.

In 1999, a Lego Castle themed land was introduced to Legoland California, featuring Castle Hill, [12] Wild Woods Golf [13] and Enchanted Walk. [14] The minifigures were elaborately designed and featured new torso pieces, faces, helmets and armor pieces. The buildings, however, had a rather simplified design, which was also seen in other themes of that era, e.g. in Town Jr., a method of building later called "Juniorization". This theme was the first Castle theme to feature two female minifigures: Queen Leonora and Princess Storm. Knights' Kingdom was discontinued in the following year, and there would be no new Castle sets until 2004. The Royal Knights were a rather small faction centered on their king and his large castle, and didn't feature any noteworthy war materials. Their crest consisted of a crowned lion head.Add 70671 Lloyd's Journey and 70676 Lloyd's Titan Mech LEGO® toy building sets to play out more adventures with Lloyd in the Never-Realm. The Fright Knights were a faction that featured some of the most nonsensical vehicles ever. They were led by an evil lord, Basil The Bat Lord (or simply "The Bat Lord") and a witch. Their symbol was a bat. Subthemes (1998 - Present) [ edit | edit source ] In 2002, a Lego Castle themed land was introduced to Legoland Deutschland Resort, featuring Caterpillar Ride, [15] Royal Joust, [15] Fire Dragon, [16] Dragon Hunt [17] and Gold Panning.

From a technical standpoint, the ride consists of the following elements: dark/show section (a heavily themed section observed slowly or even while stationary), tyre propelled lifts (a motorized wheel that alters or sustains the speed of a train through friction between the surface of the wheel and the ride vehicle), a helix (a turn of at least 360 degrees) and a tunnel. A duration of just over three minutes can be expected from start to finish.

The Crusaders were the stronger of the first two factions of Castle. Their crest featured a crowned lion in a red, blue and yellow pattern. In Canada and Australia, they were initially known as the Lion Crest until the 1990s when they returned to the Crusaders name. The incredible attention to detail means there will likely be bits you didn't even notice on your first ride, allowing the opportunity to get the same level of joy on second and third visits.

Knights' Kingdom II did not have much in common with its predecessor. It revolved around a struggle between a group of good knights on one side and an evil knight on the other. The conflict takes place in the fictional kingdom of Morcia. This castle toy playset includes 7 new-for-June-2019 LEGO® NINJAGO® minifigures: Lloyd FS (Forbidden Spinjitzu), Cole, Akita, Ice Emperor, General Vex, Blizzard Sword Master and Blizzard Archer. The wizard Majisto was also one of the first minifigures that were given a name. Dragon Masters also brought some interesting new pieces, such as a new helmet and a large halberd, as well as several new faces. The Ninja theme launched in 1998. In contrast to Fright Knights, Ninja took its influence from a more realistic starting point and was set in mountainous Japan with medieval buildings. It had many elements of the ninja warriors from feudal Japan. [6] Knights' Kingdom (2000) [ edit ]

Lego Castle was a Lego theme based in a fictional medieval world, featuring knights and castles. It was introduced in Europe in 1978 and North America in 1981, and was supported continuously until 1999. The name was reused for two other, single-theme environments, one from 2007 to 2009 and the other in 2013. Other similar medieval Lego themes have included Knights Kingdom, Knights Kingdom II, and Kingdoms, and are included here. Lego Castle sets were marketed under the Legoland banner until 1991. Lego decided to change and add Lego System in 1992. Given its advancing years, it still provides a smooth and exhilarating ride – even for those considerably older than the target market. It isn’t in the realm of 'scary' rollercoasters, but its ground-hugging layout is still a lot of fun.
