“The Brickman Awesome exhibition is about all things amazing, unique, record-breaking or just plain awesome — and we can’t wait to offer our guests another experience that will transport them into a world of awe and wonder,” he said.

The exhibition took more than 5000 hours to build using two million bricks altogether, and will also feature a life-size Toyota Camry with working lights, as well as a life-size Harley Davidson.

The rocket consists of 450,000 bricks and is the tallest Lego model in the Southern Hemisphere.
