One complaint though. I really don't understand, why you have to tear • apart
the crane and rails to be able to make the big Legoland Hotel sign. :-(


I believe that this has to do with the original design of the track that the
crane runs on.  You can see from the orginal instructions that they used a
different piece for the track:

This piece is also what they used for the Hotel sign:

Unfortunately, this piece is apparently no longer available.  A shame
really, since it is such a neat part.

Of course, as to why they didn't just include 5 of them in the orignal set
is a good question!  And just how are the minifigs supposed to get that sign
up there if they ahve to take the crane apart to make it!
