Park News - (10/7/09) Legoland California will kick off their Holly Jolly Holidays event with a tree lighting ceremony on November 30th with the help of Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. This will feature the world’s largest Lego Christmas tree, made from nearly a quarter million Duplo bricks, standing 30 feet tall.
(5/3/09) Take a virtual ride along on last year’s new Lost Kingdom Adventure dark ride with the video embedded below, which was posted by Sally Corp, the build of the ride for Legoland California.
2010 - New Waterpark Land - In Planning - (9/8/09) Legoland California has submitted plans to add a 5.5 acre water park area to the park’s northern most section according to the LA Times. While details were not available, the intention was to open it in time for Summer 2010, where it would likely charge a separate admission fee. Ummm… 5.5 acres seems a bit small to add a water park, let alone one worthy of charging a separate admission fee, especially in a market as well covered as Southern California is by other bigger water parks.
(2/9/09) According to this article about the new head of Legoland California, they mention that while only a small new attraction will open in 2009, a much larger $10 million project is on the way for 2010 which will likely involve creating another new themed area.
 2011/2012/2013 - Legoland Hotel - (10/29/09) The local news reports that Legoland California has won the support needed to build a 254 room Legoland Hotel. No date was set since they want to see signs that the economy is going to fully recover before they start to build it, and then the project will take about 18 months to complete. To be built in two phases, it will be located in the current RV parking lot near the ticket booths.
(1/19/09) Legoland California is asking for permission to build a 250-room Lego themed hotel on the site of their RV Parking Lot. If all goes as planned, construction could take two to three years before the hotel would open and would be built in two phases, starting with only 175 rooms. The hotel will be entirely themed to Lego blocks, complete with Lego themed rooms and other features to extend the theme park experience beyond the gates.
