Location Possibilities Include Winter Haven, Cypress Garden POSTED: 11:40 am EDT June 29, 2009 ORLANDO, Fla. -- Among rampant rumors that Legoland is looking to come to Orlando, a spokeswoman confirmed to WESH 2 News Monday morning that the company is planning to build a second them park in the U.S. and is strongly considering Florida. The spokeswoman confirmed research is being done by Merlin Entertainment Group, the company that designs Legoland. According to Orlando Attractions Magazine, residents in Central Florida have received online surveys asking them basic questions about ticket price levels and how interested they'd be in attending a Legoland Park in Florida. It was reported in early May that a rumored real estate deal between Legoland and the owner of Splendid China fell through. Now, Legoland is said to be considering a location in Winter Haven near Cypress Gardens and possibly near Old Town in Kissimee as a location for the park. Legoland has one other park in the U.S. in Carlsbad, Calif. It's geared to children ages 2 to 12 and features interactive rides, shows, attractions and Lego-themed restaurants and shops. A single-day ticket to Legoland in California costs $63 for adults and $53 for children. Having been to both Legoland in California and Cypress Gardens in FL, I think Cypress would be a great site for the new Lego park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
