Today at 10:30 in Winter Haven FL there will be a press confrence with officials from Merlin Entertainment and elected officials from around the state in attendance. Merlin owns multiple theme parks around the world encluding the Legoland parks. There is currently a Legoland park in California. The website is outdated and still has a notice announcing a Legoland Discovery center that would be opening in Chicago in 2008.
We tweeted a blog recently that discussed the future of the park. In the blog the author states that the ski shows future looks dim...

Cypress Gardens has long been every show skier with pro skiing ambitions dream job. So here is to hoping Merlin will continue the show that was built by waterskiing pioneer Dick Pope Sr and his son Dick Pope Jr. It would be a sad day for waterskiing and a big blow to show skiing which has watched many of its pro shows close one after another in recent years.

ReplyDeletelego land could be cool. maybe??
This is how it is, this is how it was, this is how it should be.
ReplyDeletei haven't found any mention of the ski part of the deal. is that still happening??
ReplyDeletenever mind, from the orlando sentinal article it appears that the waterski show "may" go on.
ReplyDelete"Cypress Gardens' water ski shows and one of its two wooden roller coasters will probably be integrated into the new Legoland as well, Varney said."
not really a ringing endorsement, especially in context of being lumped in with a shitty roller coaster. :(
regardless, at least its being considered.
ReplyDeletewell its good there is a possiblility. would be sad to see it end.
