Legoland Announces New Movie-Based "Land" | Lori Weisberg

Episode Summary

Legoland, in its biggest expansion yet of the Carlsbad theme park, announced Thursday that it will open next year a brand new land devoted entirely to the popular Lego movies — complete with a new 4D-style ride. The Lego Movie World, as it’s being called, will encompass a little more than two acres of the park, occupying the former Lego Friends Heartlake City area. Located in the far west side of the park, the area will be entirely reimagined to give park visitors the sense of being immersed within Lego’s cinematic universe — more specifically, The Lego Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. Key to that will be its signature ride, Masters of Flight, which will transport its passengers to the Lego movies’ memorable lands, aboard title character Emmet’s triple decker flying couch — or at least that’s what it will feel like.
