It’s funny how much the LEGO buildings have been suffered under the climate
and UV-radiation since 2002 (park opening) - just compare my picture from
2002 with the new gallery. But the LGB motors and the track seem to to be
working since then without causing major trouble.

I have always found it a bit ridiculous that Legoland does not put their
incredible models under cover. I understand the idea of wanting an outside park,
but UV and the weather is just too harsh on ABS. Why not have some really kewl
nicely designed canopies for the models. A great architect (or even just a good
one) could come up with some very innovative ways to still have the park
experience and yet shield the models from the elements. heck, you could probably
build them out of giant bricks.
Tension tent like structures--space frames--cantilevered shade “trees”, geodesic
constructions, postitive pressure tents-- all kinds of things would work. All
that is necessary is to shield the light and keep the rain off. Could still be
clear or translucent--just shield UV light. Does not have to be heated--just
shade. It would increase the longevity by scores of years.
It would also make rainy days a more enjoyable as well as scorchers.
