Legoland Florida


Welcome to a brand new year of trip reports and to Legoland Florida.

This is my first ever visit to this park.  They still have their Christmas tree up.

We decided to take the Island in the Sky up to look at the park.

This is pretty cool.

The first thing we noticed is that the park is pretty narrow and very long.

I think we found our next destination.

The Grand Carousel is a double-decker carousel featuring Lego horses.

To get to our destination we needed to pass through Duplo Village.

They had some pretty cute rides in this area.

Next we passed through the World of Chima.

The Quest for CHI is the main attraction in this area.

We're finally to our destination.  The Kingdoms area.

The first coaster of the new year would be the Dragon.

After a very cool dark ride section you head out into the actual coaster part.

Very fun coaster and the first new credit of the day.

They had some pretty cool figures made of Legos in the area.

I honestly think the models are the best part of these parks.

Other rides in this area include Merlin's Challenge.

and the Royal Joust.

The next section was Land of Adventure.

Cool looking Egyptian Lego model

The first ride in the area is the Lost Kingdom Adventure.

This is a Sally built shooter ride.  It was a lot of fun.

Next door was Beetle Bounce.

DONKEY!

Safari Trek was next.

A fun jeep ride past Lego animal models.

It's a pretty long ride too.

Coastersaurus would be my next new credit of the year.

This is a pretty fun junior wooden coaster.

It's not overly intense, but it's a lot of fun.

I liked the dinosaur model.

Imagination Zone.  It's a lot like what you'd find in a Lego Discovery Center.

Another giraffe.

Driving School.

Flying School.

This is my third new credit of the day - a Vekoma Jr. Inverted.

It was pretty rough, to be honest.

Aquazone Wave Racers - it's a fun whip-style ride.

Project X was the fourth new credit of the day.

This is really the only "adult" coaster in the park.

Even then, it's still a pretty tame mouse-style coaster.

Time to check out the Cyprus Gardens section of the park.

The park is right on the lake.

The historic bunyan tree.

The historic gazebo.

Cyprus Gardens used to have southern belles out here and this model pays homage to that.

We had a good day at Legoland Florida.  It's a nice park.
