Visitor Stories

In this vehicle, we went on a road trip to Party Island. On Party Island, there was a treasure party, a wizard party, a word party, a captain party, and a balloon party. We could not choose, but every party had a different start time so we were able to go to all the parties! After this, we went back to the campground and made a fire. We roasted hot dogs for dinner and then had S’mores. The next day, we went on a long bike ride. Our Lego camping trailer is so much fun!

The Pluto Flyer

The combined ship has 2 main power sources. The first is the engine—located on top of the cockpit next to the yellow tube. The yellow tube connects to the gas tank. The gas tank (the ships 2nd power source) fuels all four ships. This fires the rockets when needed. There are propellers on the back of the main ship that can be used for powering the ship in water. This way, if we crash before lifting off…we can get momentum to get us going again. There is also a bomb underneath the ship that can be detonated to assist in taking off.

Before any ship departs, one of my crewmembers (Carson, Braden, Kael, Thomas, Alex, and Kenny) or I move the tank to the top of each ship for fueling.

The deck of the big ship (blue and white part) is where all ships are stored—except for one. The small yellow ship floats along with us but is not attached.

The little yellow ship contains heat suits, which allow us to survive on Pluto’s frigid surface. These suits can be folded for storage. In addition, when we are wearing them we can be folded up to fit in the storm shelter together. The yellow ship also contains oxygen, food supplies, and will travel with us to Pluto’s surface. It also carries extra fuel.

This is a ship, within a ship, within a ship, within a ship. Each ship has a separate purpose but the overall goal is to get to Pluto and prove that it is actually a planet—not just a dwarf planet. The big combined ship will carry us to Jupiter. On the deck of the big combined ship is a green oxygen umbrella. If we crash, we can grab on and be able to float to the nearest planet. The black board with the diagrams on it is a map. The black section comes apart from the main ship, with the umbrella so we can find our way. It also contains suction abilities so that all necessary equipment can be kept together in case of a crash.

The pinkish satellite serves as a communication relay and to receive television channels. It also channels energy from solar storms to create fuel for cooking or transportation.
The brown and blue guns serve as protection and can be used while attached to the ship or pulled off to be used individually.

Once on Jupiter, the black and white ship will carry us to Uranus. It is equipped with weight suits for the crew and gravity boosters for the ship. It also contains food supplies, water, photography equipment and an orbital phone that will allow us to contact our families on Earth.

The black and grey ship will carry us from Uranus to Pluto—along with the little yellow ship. The cool think about the black and grey ship is that it has video games and a TV to occupy us while we travel; it has runners on it like a sled so we can go sliding around Pluto in it and it has a flame-thrower to protect us from aliens.
Underneath the black and gray ship is a storm shelter. This will be important in keeping us safe on other planets.

The line attaching the fuel tank to the main ship will be detached and taken to Pluto with us. We will use this as a vacuum to clear the area around Pluto of debris so that it can be classified as a planet once again. And we will erect a boundary around Pluto so that the debris and floating rocks will stay on Pluto and we will plant freeze resistant grass that gives off heat so that one day, we can live on Pluto.

I believe that we will get to Pluto and still have fuel and food. I also believe we will make it back with sufficient proof that Pluto is actually a planet—including pictures that the neighborhood around Pluto has been cleared. I will be grabbing a star from the sky to bring back for further examination—so we will discover how star are made.

DESCRIPTION.has a backhoe, treads, 2 people, crystals, mining equipment, and it's a truck
CREATOR,Uly C. Mullis
STORY. "Come one come all to see the new generation of POWER MINER."said a salesman, "See the XX-1, X3-C and last, but not least, C-13." "Now are there any questions?”, said the salesman. Many people raised their hands, a little boy asked how they were better than other power miners. “Well they're free and computer controlled”, said the salesman. The boy said, “Well, first of all, if they're free doesn't that mean they're crappy, and if they're computer controlled there is no fun in driving them.” The salesman said, “Will somebody please just shut this kid up,” so the kid's dad shut his mouth.
Then I showed up. I said, “Hey, my name is Uly. I am an honorary power miner, and the kid is right without controlling them what's the fun in driving them if they're computer controlled. I duel you to a battle of the miners. You can use one of your vehicles, and I will use the crystal collector, but you can pick where we do it.” “Crystal cave, 4 o'clock, search for crystals for an hour. When the hour is over the one with the most crystals wins,” said the salesman.

2 hours later
The announcer said, “Here are the rules: only one partner, one vehicle, or one vehicle that carries the crystals, and one that digs them out. OK, ready, set, go!” Me and Evan were looking for crystals like girls chasing Justin Brickber, then we hit the jackpot. 50 minutes later we heard the bell. They counted the crystals. The salesman and I said, “A tie!” “Yup, 104 and 104,” said the announcer. “Wait,” said Evan, “I have one in my pocket. Here, an orange crystal!” We won, we won, we won! The salesman said, “I guess your crystal collector is better than all of my vehicles.”

My T-9000 is spaceship that tranforms into boat. It is really cool to fly. The first thing I would do is to explore the galaxy with my dog Thunderbolt. We would visit all the planets to see if there were any aliens. Then next we would explore the universe to discover new planets.

This is the Future Vessel. These people made it so they could find Amelia Earhart. They will search far and wide around the world. If they do not find her, they will search in space. Their fuel is the surroundings around them. If they run out of surroundings they will throw out their books. When it is done fueling them they will take the books back inside. When they’re on a planet with rough mountains, they will use the car on top of the canopy to look for her. They think that aliens might have captured her and taken her to space. The 2 people in the back have a cannon to shoot aliens that follow them. They hold on to each other so they don’t fall out. My dream is that they find Amelia Earhart and I get to meet her!

I have wheels on my Outer Space FlyCar and some lights in front and then I stuck some lights on top to flash. The lights will help me see where I am going at night. And there’s something cool … the black things on back send out a message to the aliens – “I’m here. I’m here. I’m here.” The windows on the side are super duper hearing. They can hear far away if the aliens are shouting “Are you here? Are you here?” The FlyCar could hear them and just fly over—shoomp!—to where they are.

And I will fly up to outer space and drive around on the planets until I see the aliens. I have six wheels to do it. Then I hop off and say “hi, aliens!” I’m going to teach the aliens how to play games, and I will teach them how to race cars and draw, and I will teach them how to do LOTS of things. And the aliens can sit behind me and ride with me back here and play at my house. I’ll bring the whole family of aliens back to my house.

My LEGOCar

My red LEGOcar is called Rexbuster. It can turn into a time machine and the destinations are the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. It is designed to capture dinosaurs, shrink them and bring them back.

It has 6000000 tranquilizers shots. If any dinosaur tried to eat the people inside the Rexbuster, the driver has to press a button and the seats will open and give the people inside a metal armor which would cover the people.

When we went back in time we saw many dinosaurs. At first we saw some a Stegosaurus which were very cute. We fed them with leaves we also saw them take a bath. We went back to the car and we started to drive up a mountain. And when we were half way up, we saw the head of a Brachiosaurus. Only then did we realize that we were on the neck of ‘Brachy’ and we slid down the back and tail.

After that we saw my favorite dinosaur – T-rex! With great difficulty, we tranquilized it and brought it back in the Rexbuster. The shrunk T-rex is happily playing with me in my backyard now! :)

My machine transforms. My machine will fly me to the sea. I will land in the ocean and will float to Hawaii. When I get there, my machine will use its claws to climb to the top of a volcano. When I'm at the top I will push a button and my machine will transform into a mine digger. I will use the spinner and the light saber to find diamonds. My machine has golden weapons to protect me from snakes!

This is a 8 wheeled dump truck. If somebody was trying to get the front of it, it would unattach from the back and drive away. It can go on land it can climb hill. I would drive to stores in it. I would unattach it and bring the front and use it for a shopping cart.

It has 200000 horsepower. It is a police car. Its acceleration can get up to speeds as high as 2.905 mpms in 2 nano seconds. I would take it to the Atlantic Ocean. It has water proof rocket jets and it would shoot out of the ocean and go to outer space. It will drive through clouds. And chase good guys. Like a deception in transformers.

I love my jungle jumper. It can jump over crocodiles. It's fast and cool. On my second adventure it will take me to the swamps of the jungle. I will go down waterfalls, and meet hippos. It can even jump over big plants and rocks. And then I will take my Jungle Jumper back home.

My vehicle, the Substinger, is a water/space vehicle. Its speed can compare to the speed of light. It weighs about 2,000,000 pounds. If this were a real vehicle, I would be speeding through universes that no one has explored before. It would have the power to change gravity. It would be able to withstand temperatures up to 1,000,000 degrees and 2,000,000,000,000 bullets.

On the Mega Bike I could go super fast and up walls! I could get to Disney World faster. It would only take an hour to get there. After I was done playing at Disney World, I would drive the Mega Bike to Key Lime Cove! It would be awesome to have a Mega Bike!

The Land-Sea-Space Explorer is an amazing vehicle.

Land
It has wheels and I would go to the Great Wall of China. The ship's radar would help me find any hidden passages and underground treasures at the wall. There is a drilling bit that would help me break into caves.

Sea
The ship can go under the water and on top of the water. It has three pontoons and I would go to the Pacific Ocean. I can go down really deep into the darkest parts of the ocean. I could find new types of fish and animals down there.

Space
The ship has two big rocket engines and I would go to the middle of the sun. There is a special shield that would protect me from the heat of sun and would still allow me to see outside the ship. I would be looking for life inside the sun.

What my vehicle can do is transform into a truck and then a truckracer, then a flyracer. It can go to Florida, New York City, outerspace, on the moon and Indianapolis.

I would fly it to Virginia Beach and land on the sand. It will drive so fast it will blow sand all over the place. And then it will turn into a bulldozer and it will push the sand to the kids. Then the kids will make a huge sand castle.

Then it will fly to Florida and it will go into the water and the tires will get fat and float. Then hands will come out of the middle of the wheels and start swimming. It will swim to Green Island and suck the leaves off the trees.

Then it will fly to California. People can push the buttons and a ticket will pop out. People will take the tickets to go swimming, diving and dig in dirt to find dinosaur bones.

Then it will fly to the Children's Museum. It will land on the top of the dinosaur's head and I will go in and play with the kids at the lego exhibit.

Once there was a 194 pound dream machine that was traveling thru the world. It got on top of a snowy cliff. It was bashing thru a cave wall. Its master driver was doing good travels. There was not a single mother ship in site. The air is nice there and the clouds were nice and it smelled like rain but then the alien mini flyer started charging at us. It blasted lightning lasers, it threw ninja stars, its stinger was bad. I made a home run by hitting the laser shot. I can't shoot back. I had one thing, the canon! I did turn it on and then the orange shredder rippers started - BOOM! Rock monsters flew off, the aliens flew off, and we got away again.

I would go on an adventure to every town in the whole universe. When you get in the Eagle Blaster you have to press the red button and it will start to spin. There are switches to control it. It can spin in water, it can spin in the air, and it can jump onto islands. My first trip would be to Paris then China and then Alaska and then Kentucky. I want to see lots of animals and go to the opposite side of the universe. It can break through almost anything. The gas for the spinner is soup. I will travel in my Eagle Blaster forever.

My all terrain vehicle can turn into a car, plane and a boat. I would take it to the Rocky Mountains. It would be able to help me explore the mountains, forest and water. I would see what animals and plants live in the Rocky Mountains. It would be nice to get away from the city and when I miss my family, I can fly home back to Indianapolis.
