Merlin Entertainments announced Thursday that it will be opening LEGOLAND Florida at the site of the former Cypress Gardens theme park in Winter Haven, Florida. The announcement came with a coup de grace -- 100,000 LEGO bricks were dumped next to the podium from a bulldozer.
The new park will have between 40 and 50 attractions with some elements of Cypress Gardens remaining (such as the historic gardens which includes a massive Banyan tree planted in 1939) at the park in Central Florida. The idea of integrating LEGO sculptures with a traditional garden could make for some very interesting Miniland features or park surprises.
No word yet on the fate of the Southern Belles -- the greeters to the garden that were a nod to the antebellum South -- or the attached water park. LEGOLAND Florida is expected to open in 2011.
