114-Foot Tower In Budapest Is The World's Tallest Lego Structure!!!


1. Where was the most recent tallest Lego structure built? Who built it?

The most recent tallest Lego structure was built in front of the Saint Stephen's Basilica in Budapest. The tower that exceeded the previous record holder by about 2 feet was made using 450,000 Lego bricks - 50,000 less than used in the tower built by the US students.

2. What are the two requirements imposed by the Guinness World Records before a Lego tower can be eligible for inclusion?

The tower had to be build with no glue. The wires were removed, once the tower was ready. But that or the fact that it had been built using no adhesives (another requirement), did not seem to be an issue. Unfortunately, all the hard work has to be undone on May 26th, the day after the tower was officially named the World's tallest Lego structure.

3. Why does the author believe that a new Lego tower record will be attempted soon?

Because the record was broken three time in 2012 so a lot of people are interested in bracken the record.

4.What in your opinion makes building 'the world's tallest Lego structure' so popular?

I think it is so popular because it will be fun to make it and a lot of people would like to be in the guinness book of records.

  1. Good answering Zoe but you didn't tell me who built it. You explained the way the Guinness book of records and how they don't allow the wires really well great job again. K
