Legoland in Carlsbad Monday broke the world record for the tallest tower made of Lego bricks, a spokesperson said.

At 92 feet 6 inches, the tower is 10 feet 6 inches higher than the previous world record holder, the country of Estonia.

That country set the record at 82 feet in 1982, said Betsy Sanchez of Legoland.

It took about 12,000 people — using more than 400,000 bricks — five days to build the tower, Sanchez said.

Participants were urged to build hearts on two cross-shaped panels, which were then placed atop one another to form the structure, Sanchez said.

The guests — many of them children — built 2,132 hearts, Sanchez said.

For every heart built, the theme park will donate $1 to the Children's Heart Institute fund, Sanchez said.

The children worked especially hard to garner funds for the "hospital," as they called it, Sanchez said.

"It was inspiring to see them," Sanchez said. "I was stunned."

Although the towers are usually kept up for at least one day, park officials said they may need to dismantle the creation before tomorrow.

"The wind is a factor," Sanchez said. "Of course the higher you go (with the tower) the more powerful the wind is."
