LEGOLAND, FLORIDA!

 
THE ENTRANCE
 
 
 

M: I was actually surprised when  we got to the entrance because it was a lot nicer than I expected.  As soon as we entered the park we were eager to go on rides. The first ride we went on was the carrousel. 
T: The carrousel even though it was super cute how they had Lego horses they were extremely uncomfortable from being so boxy.
M: The horses on the carrousel were actually Lego horses.  The horses were weird to sit on because they were to wide. It felt like you were straddling a 400 pound man. Which was weird because this is a park for kids.
 
 

M: After that we went into the medieval part of the park and rode the roller coaster the dragon.
 T: It was the only roller coaster I wasn’t super scared on.
 
(we look so thrilled...)
 
 
M: When we got off that ride it put us into a gift shop where I got one of those pressed pennies.
 
T: Merlin’s Challenge was my favorite ride. It spun really fast and stuff.
M: I liked Merlin’s challenge/quest/adventure because it’s like one of those rides at the fair that just spins and it coasts like $3 per ride.
 
Weeeeee!
M: Then after we went one of those rides where you shoot targets on the walls and compete with your partner(just an FYI if you’re sitting in the left seat, YOU WILL WIN. It’s been proven.)
T: This was a fun laser ride as long as you aren’t competitive because if you sit on the left you are going to win.  At the very end of this ride, wait for the second flash so you can pose for your picture like we did. ;) Multiple times….
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
M: We walked around for a bit then came across a wooden coaster. Which I assumed wouldn’t be like Gwazi at Busch Gardens(a theme park in our city). But, nope. It was. Tara did NOT enjoy this ride. Neither did I, but she really didn’t like it.
 T: The Coastersaurus is awful.  I hated it.  Even though we complained about being thirsty we refused to buy over-priced drinks just yet. We walked the whole park and then went to the see the Lego city. It was really cool because they had a lot of major cities that looked so realistic made out of Legos.
M: We went to the Lego city area several times, but it was most beautiful at night.
 
 
M: We saw the firefighter show.
 T: I thought the firefighter show was really cute but obnoxious at the same time.  It was really good for learning fire safety and 3 year olds.


M: Put the wet stuff on the hot stuff
 
 
 
M: After that show we went and got food at the Panini place.  When we were done eating we went back to a lot of our favorite attractions and a couple new rides.

OUR OPINIONS OF LEGOLAND
T: The park was a lot better than I expected.  I was expecting it to be boring looking but it was actually very well done.  It is really cool looking in person and it was fun for the day. The lines also were not that bad, I’m used to Disney and them tricking you into thinking you’re almost done and there really is another room to the line. However I don’t think I could ever purchase an annual pass because it is only something you can really do once and still have fun.  I don’t really think it was really worth the $60 I paid for my adult pass because they don’t have much for people who are 19 and 20.  If you have a child under 10 however, I strongly suggest it because they will have a blast.
 
M: Everything wasn’t as pointy as I expected it to be. For some reason I had this image of everything being made out of sharp little Lego pieces. Since we’re Florida residents tickets were cheaper than normal. Online tickets were around $80(places like Wendy’s and Chick-Fil-A were giving out free child admission with adult ticket purchase coupons ) we got our tickets at Publix for about $60. I think tickets should have been at most 50(my parents paid for my ticket because my brother wanted to go here for his birthday). The experience at the park was good, but it’d be more fun if we were under 13 and could go on the go karts…  There is also a water park attached to this park which we did not go to. It was weird because you had to purchase the ticket for the LegoLand park and for an additional $20 or so you could go to the water park. Overall I liked Lego Land but I don’t think I’d go again, unless, it was free, again.
