Legoland Florida

Separately ticketed? How big is this going to be?

I can’t see it being anywhere near a true second gate.

I get the sense that this'll be on the same level as Sesame Place: something separate and lowered cost, but based off of a singular IP and character group.

It's about time Legoland got a widly recognized brand into their park

So, the MGM Studios method?

 

[WAJAS]

I think this is similar to how Legoland California has a SeaLife Aquarium next door. A small second gate that's a half-day experience for younger kids.

At least Merlin has the...um...courage to build the next new park for Central Florida.

Ball's in your court, Comcast.

From the look of this "park"...Merlin has a very tiny tiny tiny bit of courage

5 acres occupying a section of the Lego parking lot. That's pretty small.

Quite the audacity to have a separate ticket for that. That’s like half the size of Diagon Alley?

I'm just surprised something that sounds like algorithmically generated kids Youtube content warrants its own gate.

It doesn’t but that’s Merlin for you, this place will be dibond city.

It's funny I saw some theme park channels praising Merlin for investing in Legoland

Does charging a separate ticket for an expansion invalidate it or.....

 

[wutisgood]

They can fund it or not as much as they want to on packages. I think it is a smart play for now. They need serious expansion plans long term tho.

Anyone else find the name “peppa pig theme park” to be hilarious?

 

[GAcoaster]

I would guess they'll have a "real" name for it and that's just a reference to give people the idea of what it is.

Also, hope they have a gift shop outside the gates so I won't have to buy a ticket to get a t-shirt...

 

[Jwhee]

The Cypress Gardens canal boats are BACK!!

New pirate themed boat ride in the gardens! Really cool how they are keeping up with the history of the property

 

[Bobharlem]

Wonder how this is going to be pulled off, is it going to be similar to these old tours?

 

[GA-MBIT]

Surprised I haven't seen more discussion on this, Peppa Pig theme park is open. First new theme park in Central Florida since Legoland 10 years ago, I believe.

World's first Peppa Pig theme park opens in Winter Haven, Florida

Take that Epic Universe!

Seems to be a decent time for the very little ones and I like the expanded accessibility features they have from opening. Very nice precedents to set for the future of attractions like this.

 

[Rhian]

It does look like a wonderful addition honestly, especially if you're the kind of parent who doesn't really want to go to a full theme park and only use/stay in the kiddie area anyway.

That said PPTP is a terribly funny acronym. Hey, sometimes I'm a kid too. lol

 

[GAcoaster]

I think we'll see more of these theme parks aimed specifically at preschoolers. SeaWorld's push to build more Sesame Place parks has just begun, and I'm sure we'll see Peppa popping up somewhere else as well. They don't cost much to build but make a lot of money...
