K-Z: If you could be a dragon from How To Train Your Dragon, which would you pick? G: Is it the dragon I want to be, or who I probably would be? Because I’m definitely a Terrible Terror – yappy and little and annoying. But I’d like to be able to set myself on fire like a Monstrous Nightmare. J: I don't think you see them in the first film, but there are sea dragons called 'Thunderdrums' which don't breathe fire – they have a supersonic wave. In the series, Stoick's first dragon was a Thunderdrum, and then he got Skullcrusher in the second film. I’m Fishlegging right now! The fans will eat that up. B: I would be the Red Death. Giant, red, and angry all the time –…

THEME PARK THRILLS The first time I went on a roller coaster, I was hopelessly hooked. It didn’t have a regular seat – you would hang under the track with your legs dangling. It felt like you were flying as you swooped towards the ground at super speeds, soared around bends and inverted into a loop-the-loop. As soon as I got off, I joined the line again, and while I waited there (over an hour), I wondered if I could design an even better roller coaster. Well, I’ve been trying to find out by playing Theme Park Tycoon 2. This sim lets you build an amusement park from the ground up, by placing paths, setting up shops, and arranging rad rides. You can build your coasters from scratch – there…

Lachlan will appear in Guinness World Records 2026! FAST THREE WITH LACHLAN K-Z: Hi Lachlan! Why did you decide to attempt this Guinness World Record? L: I started pogo stick jumping three years ago, on my brother's cheap rusty pogo stick. At Christmas in 2023, I was given a pogo stick and a Guinness World Records book. I was reading the book and thinking how cool it would be to beat a world record. I was using my new stick a lot and finding it so smooth and easy compared to the old one. I asked Mum to look up pogo…

K-Z: Hi Henry and Cade! Which LEGO build was your favourite from Grand Masters of the Galaxy?

H: The Pegasus looks like it will launch into the air and descend on the Hydra! K-Z: What’s the secret to surviving a 28-hour Grand Finale build? H+C: Remembering the end goal and vision helped us both to stay motivated (especially at low points) and have fun! K-Z: Any funny stories from the set? H+C: Owen nearly bowling over multiple members of the public when he was running to retrieve his toy box…

K-Z: You won the 2024 Prime Minister’s Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching in Primary Schools! How did the STEM and Digital Technologies program start? D: It began with weekly coding and robotics lessons in my Grade 5/6 class in my first year at Montello. I started an after-school Code Club, which helped lead to Montello’s Makerspace! We received a Schools Plus and Google Australia grant, which helped us get 3D printers, LEGO robotics, drones, a laser cutter, and even VR! I became the school’s specialist STEM teacher in 2021, working with students from Prep to Grade 6. Our projects include game design, robotics, and solving real-world problems. Shout out to everyone at school and all my friends who read K-Zone too! – Nick…

K-Z: Hi Auli‘i! Which song in Lulu is a Rhinoceros has been stuck in your head? A: Great question! 'Good Morning, Beautiful You' is an instant bop from the get go, but goodness, they're all so excellent. Choosing a favourite is hard, but there's 'Perfect You Is You', and her little song in the reflection! Listen, I'm a Disney princess. There's often a song where she stares at her reflection and sings a heartfelt ballad. We have one of those too! They're all excellent. K-Z: If you could be an animal in Lulu’s world, which animal would you be? A: Favourite question I've gotten by far! I would be, I would be... I would be a peacock!

BEING THE VOICE OF ELIO MEANT THAT… Y: I got to go to Texas and visit the NASA Johnson Space Centre. I learned a lot from an astronaut we got to talk to, Kjell Lindgren. The coolest thing was that we go to go into the mock International Space Station where the astronauts train, and went into a secret part that I’m not sure everyone can go in. We saw astronauts walking around in that area, went to the Control Centre where the ‘Houston, we have a problem’ line was said, and got to see actual astronauts in space through a live feed. IF I MADE A YONAS CLONE WITH CLONE CLAY FOR A DAY, I WOULD… Y: Sleep in, and have my clone make my breakfast then help with…
