Legoland 2011 – Day 4
5 June 2011 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Sunday, June 5, 2011 * Last day – Vader show – That’s it
On Sunday morning we headed to Legoland in Günzburg one last time, to wrap up the Star Wars Weekend 2011 with lots of fun and action together with the visitors, the 501st Legion and everyone else. Since our night had once again been rather short, we went to our booth overtired but looking forward to the day, and got it ready for the visitors once more.
Despite the time pressure, we gathered in the arena once more to practice our backup program with the newly edited music one last time before it got serious. The run-throughs went smoothly, so we gradually got ready for the expected rush of Star Wars fans.
Since the weather was kind to us that day too, the park filled up very quickly and we all had plenty to do answering questions and explaining everything about lightsabers to the visitors, so that morning there was hardly any time for us to explore the park further.
So the morning flew by, and at half past twelve we already had to hurry to the changing rooms to get ready for the performance. Once again, to our great delight, we found that the arena was filled to the last seat and even beyond, so we waited in great suspense for the start of the show, which finally began after Tim's announcement. Even though we only performed the backup program, which we had only just come up with and planned, and therefore barely rehearsed, the audience was thrilled, and especially the appearance of our Vader with his stormtroopers made the show a complete success.
After this successful performance, we hurried back to the booth, since by now we knew from experience that the rush always grew strongly after our shows. So we spent the time until the next performance taking pictures with lightsabers, fighting with kids or watching them play with our sabers, and of course once again explained a lot about the elegant Jedi weapon. In the afternoon we went to the arena for the last time for the last of a total of ten shows that weekend. Despite, or perhaps because of, a few amusing mishaps, it went down really well and earned lots of applause at the end.
After swapping our Jedi and Sith costumes for our team shirts again, we split into small groups: some finally went to eat something or strolled through the park a little more, while the others went back to the booth and tried to tame the crowds of visitors and inform them as best they could.
And so our last day at Legoland slowly but surely came to an end, and when our room finally closed its doors at six o'clock, we were glad to be able to walk around and rest a bit before starting to tear down the booth an hour later.
After leaving the park, we went out to eat together one last time before we all drove home at around midnight, looking back on a wonderful and successful weekend that was a lot of fun for us and where we got to meet lots of interesting people and gain new experiences.
