A bowling alley is aiming for a strike in the next LEGO Ideas review

A functioning bowling alley might just be the next LEGO Ideas set, as another project has reached 10,000 supporters and reached the LEGO Ideas review.

A trip to the bowling lanes might seem like a distant memory at the moment but thankfully, one LEGO Ideas project is bringing us back to the smooth-soled shoes and rows of pins.

LEGOParadise has now had a second submission gather enough support to be considered as a real LEGO set with a fully-working bowling alley, all you need to do is build and bowl, the model does the rest.

Thanks to a YouTube video, the features of the build can be seen in action. Not only will the model return your bowling ball after a successful strike but it will also reset the pins, after a minor manual input. LEGOParadise previously had a working waterfall reach the review but failed to go any further on LEGO Ideas. Thankfully, it is a part of the BrickLink Designer Program.
