Hát nem tudom, lehet-e elképzelni csodálatosabb dolgot kerek e világon, mint amikor Mythbusters legózni kezd, hacsak nem azt, hogy Freida Pinto felhív telefonon, ugyan töltsek már el vele egy felettébb romatikus éjszakát, de ez nem az a blog, ahol ezt ecsetelem, szóval:
LEGOLAND® California Model Builder Helps “Mythbusters” Dispell Myth!
Popular Discovery Channel Show Highlights Family Theme Park in Upcoming Episode
CARLSBAD, Calif. (April 28, 2009) – “Mythbusters” reached out to a Master Model Builder at LEGOLAND® California to help dispel a myth regarding a giant LEGO® ball on an upcoming episode of the popular international show airing April 29, 2009 on the Discovery Channel.
“It was an honor to be included in the project,” said LEGOLAND Master Model Builder Gary McIntire. “I have always been a huge fan of the show so for them to come and ask for my help was really a proud moment in my career!”
Show hosts Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara trekked down to Carlsbad, California from the show’s home base in San Francisco to use McIntire’s expertise on how to build a nearly 10-foot LEGO sphere.
The myth originated with a YouTube video in which Indiana Jones fans reenacted the famous boulder chase scene from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” with the “boulder” being made of five-million LEGO bricks. The boulder is rolled down a steep street in San Francisco, crashes into a car, and remains somewhat intact. The “Mythbusters” team set out to discover if a boulder of that size could really be made entirely of LEGO bricks and still roll so smoothly down a steep hill without breaking apart into millions of pieces. In order to debunk the myth, McIntire and 20 others worked on building the ball using nearly one million LEGO bricks over the course of nearly two weeks.
“We have more than 15,000 LEGO models here at LEGOLAND California,” said McIntire, “and this is by far the singularly largest creation I’ve ever helped to build!”
The “Mythbusters” team spent a day at LEGOLAND California researching models similar to the one they needed to build studying sphere shapes such as the head of the giant 17-foot-tall pharaoh in the Park’s newest area, Land of Adventure and the dome of the Griffith Observatory in Miniland U.S.A.

Röviden magyarul: a lenti videóban Indy-fanok játszanak egy kicsit, egy állítólag csupa-csupa legóból készült hatalmas guruló kővel. Ennek igazságtartalmát próbálják majd kideríteni kedvenc hőseink, természetesen úgy, hogy rengeteg legót elhasználnak majd.
Íme az inkriminált video:
Nem kicsit várom, mi sül ki ebből. Imádom a Mythbusterst, az van. Meg a legót is. Az is van.
