Legoland Opening in Florida

Legoland will open a new park in Florida in 2011 on the site of the old Cypress Gardens attraction, which closed last fall. Merlin Entertainments, the owner and operator of Legoland, said Legoland Florida would include resort facilities with accommodations, along with more than 50 rides, shows and other attractions, including Lego models and interactive programs.

The company’s first U.S. Legoland is located in Carlsbad, Calif., and three more are located in Europe, in Denmark, Germany, and near London. Merlin said in a statement that the park in Florida would be its largest. A sixth park is also being developed in Malaysia. Legoland parks are geared to families with children ages 2 to 12. Merlin Entertainments Group is the second largest attractions company in the world. Only the Walt Disney Company is larger.
