Legoland Florida announcement at Cypress Gardens

[StopMotionSidrom]

so it's the same legoland in a different area???

[Legoman574]

Finally a Lego land that I can actually go to.I live in il so it's hard for me to go to legoland.

[zack32452]

i dont think there gonna rip down starliner, its a much better coaster as far as reliability and age goesvrs. the ttripple hurrican, but the starliner is a more teen coaster...screw that tho, they should make a all teen park, withj crazy straight down drops and loops, theyd make more money that way, not on little kids

[nonok122]

@zack32452 srry they took it down but left tirple hurricane

[Jonasgirl1461]

They should make a statue of Micheal Jackson!

[halokid2010]

WHERE THE HELL IS HIS LEGO MAN COSTUME DAMN HE NEEDS ONE

[smartguest]

darn they destroyed the starliner but at least they are keeping a few of the coasters including the triple hurricane and the gardens itself and the waterpark

[MauriceJonesTv]

my house is like five minutes where this park is gonna be oppend im so happy

[pastrana2000]

I go to Cypress elemantry

[landmine217]

haha lol i met him at the opening of saw the ride



[disneysimagineer]

this park was def the worst park i've ever been to. gladly they sold it to lego brand but still legoland will prob suck cuz it's for little kids. but yeah cypress gardens sucked because it didn;t feel like a theme park but more like a fairground. it needed better rides that were smooth and professionally made like from b&m. but yeah good luck lego brand make it an amazing park!

[ethan4astonhill]

@disneysimagineer i think u need to shut up, cypress gardens was a traditional US theme park, with a signature woodiw, calm down buddy

[disneysimagineer]

boooo we dont want anymore little kiddie parks booooooooooo. don't these people realize that parks that include thrill rides AND kids rides are the ones that are majorly successful? disney world for example has the thrill rides but also the kids rides. cmon legoland! put some awesome coasters or thrill rides!

[kev1zhong]

I live 2 mins from here! I can't wait for it to open!!

[Dublinsk8r]

omfg. this was my favourite place in the world, and now its been bought over by lego. off all people, fukin lego. brilliant. there goes my summer i planned on spending in cypres gardens.

[santoyo200]

i love legos i have lego police station i wana go

[skulker622]

Hope it lives up to the competition.

[skulker622]

I went to legoland CA because i love legos, i'm 12 and was very disapointed. Besides the robot arm ride the park is really for ages 2-9 if even, to appeal to higher ages i beleive they should have better coasters, add loops and faster sppeds please, they want to appeal to 9-12 year olds so have some more things for them. The "4-D" films there aren't anything like 4-D films anywhere else, the chairs don't move, the characters don't speak, although they are mini-figs. in my opinion it's just 3-D.

[moshrunners]

I live in the UK, and we have a Legoland in Windsor. There was a great roller coaster there called The Jungle Coaster, which I loved as a kid, and I here it is being shipped over to Legoland Florida!

[supertechpokemon]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa calafronia stupud but yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i lucky i lie incypres gardens

[KWalsh554]

Some of these reporters questions ("are you keeping the gardens", "are you keeping the rides?", "are you keeping the southern belles?", "are you keeping the water ski show?") makes me think that they don't get the point that they are not re-opening Cyprus Gardens. I know that guy said "they'd have to review it", but I can tell you right now that of course they aren't keeping the southern belles. No one drives all the way out to Polk County for that. That only attracts old people.

[tjoceasde]

@KWalsh554 I guess they have to ask because Cypress Gardens did exist for about 70 years and built up a significant amount of history in the state of Florida. And I'm sure local residents are interested in these kinds of things, especially those who enjoy the water ski shows. And while they probably won't have live southern belles, they could always build some out of legos and put them at the entrance to the garden portion.

[bones4488848]

i live in toronto and im going there will it be open when im go. im going june 25

[2ben67]

wHoot i live in orlando ha ha ha ha i get to go there when it opens =)

[shitface630]

I don't know if they're expanding the park or making one from scratch. It would make sense if they were just expanding, but if they're making it from scratch, it wouldn't make sense because Legoland Florida already exists.

[KWalsh554]

@shitface630 There is no Legoland in Florida yet. Their building it on what used to be Cyprus gardens.

[greenguy249]

about time

[belindabell2]

I'd like to know who is designing this park.Can someone let me know?

[pjwithbread8]

is it me or do these people not know how to take off a a tarp quickly..totally ruin suprize here...

[JMMK09]

so is cypress gardens gone???

[tjoceasde]

The property is still there, but the park went bankrupt and closed last September.  Since then, everything has just been sitting there in limbo.

[DarMar106]

I'll be curious to see how different this will be from California cause it looks like that banner has alot of the attractions California has

[gdoggy1678]

Most of the Legolands have the same rides with just a few different ones.

[Ynqve]

Lololol, same rides as in Legoland Billund :D It's nice to be a Dane and live near billund to visit the great world of Lego!

[ThanatosPhoenix]

I can't wait to see this, I love to play with Lego.

[pussywire]

[McCracken257]

Im excited! I love the lego store in Downtown Disney. This will be so much better. I have a feeling im a little tooo old for this tho :( haha

[rayblack2004]

[krazykobra29]

[TATSUFAN]

I Hope They Keep The Wooden Coaster StarLiner

[Mamanda12]

@TATSUFAN you know there not going to.

[smartguest]

@TATSUFAN they didn't keep it (but it was saved) it wouldn't work with the park but they weren't stupid enough to get rid of the gardens

[nonok122]

@TATSUFAN srry to say they did not... :c

[antsony94]

[WillyM79]

[rayblack2004]

[alaine93]

[demondragon45]

it annoys me that i love lego as a kid and now but since they canned bionicle one of my favorite lego sets ever and i want to protest against lego till they bring it back. but i want to go to legoland so much.

[Smithfilmproductions]

Can't wait.

[Wheeljack35]

There is a lego store in Downtown Disney with statues so I kind of know what he is refering to

[dcshutter019]

legoland california gave some great memories to me and my family. i can't believe they're making one here in florida! hopefully more memories will be made for future generations!

[MickeyJman06]

Nice! Can't Wait!
