pluk Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 What the hell is that? I've not been to legoland but that big empty grey floor, faded red circle with a crappy spring toy in the middle surrounded by worn out kerb with paint missing and weeds growing between them look shocking. My local free kids playground looks better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 They are getting rid of it and replacing it for this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I can't believe that ever existed! Looks like a replacement couldn't come soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Don't let that picture fool you, the rest of the park is nothing like that...not in my opinion anyway. While this area is aimed at far younger audiences, I am glad they are constantly updating some of there older creations. A move that maybe some of the other Merlin parks should take on board once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles1 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I hadn't seen any concept art yet, that looks quite nice actually. Speaking of the other parks, has attendance at legoland suffered like Thorpe and Alton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I know this is gonna sound stupid but are the Legoland parks owned by merlin?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Merlin own the LEGOLAND parks though the Lego Group retain 30% ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 To make it absolutely clear, Lego group (whatever their name is, begins with a K) owns 30% of merlin, not just the lego parks. I believe they have suffered the same as the rest of the group though. Lego is less volatile due to the branding though, winner for them!

Rocket Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 It's for the themed weekends, shame the same doesn't apply to annual pass holders But star wars is open for all the Christmas shopping days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Legoland to add Legends of Chima 4D Movie 2013 will see more than just Duplo Valley Splash and Play with the announcement of a new 4D show for Legoland and Legoland Discovery Centre Manchester. From the release: The all new 12 minute animated 4D film, complete with high impact special effects, will immerse audiences in the fantastical LEGO world of Chima where tribes of animal warriors compete in epic battles for CHI, a mystical energy source of limitless power and destruction. The story follows four young animals as they take a guided tour of Chima with Plovar the Parrot and become entwined in a struggle between good and evil as they help their hero Laval the Lion Prince do battle with Cragger the Crocodile King. State of the art 3D animation will bring the audience right into the heart of their journey as they sweep through dramatic landscapes, flying through the magical waters of Mount Cavora and soaring over the majestic Speedorz Arena of Chima in a high speed chase. The climax of the adventure comes as Laval and Cragger take to their Speedorz vehicles in a super-charged, super-fast race to capture a precious supply of CHI. Will good prevail or will evil win the day? Obviously being exclusive to Lego parks the new attraction will open at both locations on 15th March 2013. It is being rolled out across most of the Lego network in 2013. Taken from themeuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles1 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 The website has been updated, so it looks like clutch powers, Lego racers and spell breaker are staying. Bob the builder is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelPagett Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Its going to be a relatively quiet year for Legoland this year hopefully something exciting will come next year if the 3 year cycle is anything to go by! The Legoland Windsor 2013 Map has been released, you can see the new Duplo Valley area :-) More info here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Windsor castle appears on map? Does this mean we get to enter it [/typical guest] Doc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelPagett Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I dont think so, it has appeared several years on the map, maybe they have some deal with Windsor Castle? or it might encourage people to stay in their hotel if the think it is so near?

Bubbles1 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 The map really doesn't show how steep it is. At least say, universal Hollywood shows the two levels thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Good news for anybody interested. According to 'Completely Legoland Windsor', the 1996 Fairytale Brook has/is going through a spruce up including new scenes. http://www.cllw.co.uk/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1360504800&archive=&start_from=&ucat=& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 According to the ticket prices page, Legoland's car park charge has now risen to £3 which is the first hike (what will no doubt be any through the years) since the pid system came in three years ago. Bad news for standard merlin and non pass holder guests. However premium parking as gone down (still too much though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelPagett Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 An update from Legoland Windsors new 2013 attraction Duplo Valley opening in May. The whole update is on Facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 There doesn't appear to have been much work done there by the looks. I'll be visiting tomorrow to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
