After an extensive search and two Brick Factor competitions consisting of timed model builds and creative challenges, LEGOLAND® New York Resort has crowned a new Model Builder. Jack Mohan from Port Jervis, New York has accepted the dream job, where he will assist designing, building, and installing the more than 15,000 LEGO® models made from more than 30 million bricks at LEGOLAND New York located in Hudson Valley, just 60 miles outside of New York City.
"I've been building with LEGO bricks since I was three or four years old, and I can't believe I get to do this for a living now. If you were to ask me as a child what my dream job would be, it would be this, so I can't wait to bring the same joy, creativity and inspiration to LEGOLAND New York's visitors and meet and learn from other Model Builders on the team."
Jack Mohan, The newest Model Builder at LEGOLAND New YorkMohan was selected during a final Brick Factor Model Builder competition at LEGOLAND New York on August 14. Hundreds of guests came to watch the final build off at the Park and children were big contributors during the first part of the competition as they gave their inspiration to the stories each contestant was tasked to build. The top contender out of six finalists was selected on site by a panel of judges from LEGOLAND Resorts across the country.
"The Brick Factor competition brought out the best in our Model Builder finalists, so the decision wasn't easy. Their skills were put to the test with hands-on tasks showcasing their creativity and imagination. Jack stood out for encapsulating both the skill and knowledge of a model building professional and spirit of play that we aim to deliver to our guests every day. He'll be a great contributor to the new Model Builder Experience and the whole LEGOLAND New York team."
