Full-sized review and photo tour of Legoland Florida. http://miceage.micechat.com/kevinyee/ky101311a.htm #FB
Cutting right to the chase, let me proclaim right up front that Legoland delivers what you’d expect. This is a major theme park in the vein of Disney, Universal, or SeaWorld. Yes, it’s a touch smaller than they are, and has a smaller budget, but it’s still ahead of other competitors such as Kennedy Space Center or Holy Land Experience. Perhaps we need a category in-between, the way Pluto is neither planet nor moon. But it feels dismissive to call Legoland a “dwarf theme park,” especially since it’s plenty large, size-wise. It’s got 150 acres – that’s bigger than Disneyland!
They’ve placed 50 attractions in those acres, though what they call an “attraction” might not be what you’d call an attraction. There are eight “attractions” (read: sub-sections) at the famed Miniland Lego buildings. And many of the rides are short, small-footprint things you might find at carnivals (quick-circuit electric trains, gentle Power-Towers or drop rides for kids). Yet for all that, Legoland delivers because it also includes most of its key attractions from the San Diego park (I have only vague memories of the one I visited in Europe).
