"Master Model Builders are royalty here at the park," said
General Manager Adrian Jones. "They
enjoy celebrity status and when they're not being interviewed by
reporters and paparazzi, they spend eight hours a day playing in
the model shop. Who in their right mind wouldn't want this
job?"
Would-be builders must first submit a short video clip of
themselves and a home-made LEGO® creation.
Candidates will be culled through Facebook voting, then invited to
the park December 1 and 2 to
participate in a series of skills tests. Details on the video
submission and the search are available at
http://Florida.LEGOLAND.com/MMB.
"In all seriousness, this is the most important job at the
park," said Jones. "Our builders typically have a life-long
love of LEGO, are wildly imaginative, extraordinarily detailed and
focused and just love what they do. If you have a passion for
play, we encourage you to apply."
The new Master Model Builder will be expected to report for duty
January 1 and will join two other
builders and a team of animators and technicians to build and
maintain the signature LEGO models featured throughout the 150-acre
family theme park.
The park features more than 50 rides, shows and attractions
designed for families with children ages 2 to 12. LEGOLAND
Florida is located 45 minutes between Orlando and Tampa.
