March 20, 201312 yr comment_153863 I agree, it was only yesterday and considering may is only just over a month away they need to get a groove on!
March 20, 201312 yr comment_153875 What is it with all the merlin parks this year and being way behind with their investments?
March 20, 201312 yr comment_153880 Crazy! This should have been done ages ago. What is it with all the merlin parks this year and being way behind with their investments? Agreed. X no way out, The Smiler, Zufari and now this. Simply bizarre. Id like to think there was a reasonable explanation behind it.
March 21, 201312 yr comment_153891 PPP I bet. Guess what the three P's stand for. p... Poor Planning...
March 21, 201312 yr comment_153907 I dunno here, at least this attraction makes some sense to open late as it involves water and wouldn't be used that much for the first few weeks... It is weird this year though...
March 21, 201312 yr comment_153911 I can sort of understand with a water attraction like Duplo Valley... I personally want to run around in the water in the current weather! But all the other attractions and especially chessington closing 4 rides to upgrade them over easter is just absurd! At least they haven't shut the entire land at Legoland!
March 21, 201312 yr comment_153994 Thoughts and facts of my visit today. Duplo Valley's main path is now accessible again and the shop has been renamed Splash Store. The three attractions still open reain unchanged, the toilets ave been refurbished and the nearby restaurant has new signage but inside remains the same. Fairy Tale Brook had a lot of workers round it with models missing but some structures were still up except it looked somewhere ear the turn table had parts broken in pieces. As for the rest, the play area is starting to shape up with mostly only structures while the splash zoo & drench towers are almost non-existent at the moment except some sort of crane on site. I can't see it finished until June at the moment , hoping too add pictures later.
March 25, 201312 yr comment_154375 The project is behind schedule, big time. Unsure if they're still quoting may opening time - but it won't be. Groundworks haven't even finished yet.
March 26, 201312 yr comment_154449 Each have had their own little setbacks, all suffering from weather conditions as well. Lego also suffered as they refused to close waterworks early to allow construction to commence. So, to prevent complaints last year they've caused a wonderful delay this year. Least it's not an attraction worth complaining about.

April 14, 201312 yr comment_156846 Looks like a bit of an incident at the Legoland Hotel: Official LEGOLAND Windsor We can confirm that the LEGOLAND Windsor Hotel was evacuated at 4pm yesterday - April 13 - when a potential problem was spotted in part of the swimming pool roof. All guests was escorted safely from the area and the hotel, but it appears that a small part of the pool roof structure has collapsed. The emergency services were alerted as a matter of procedure but Park engineers were quickly on site and the situation under control. The hotel is operating normally although the swimming pool area remains closed. Source: Official Legoland Windsor Facebook page The page also mentions a guest screaming at people to get out and the public outside in swimwear! Not good for a year old building.
April 15, 201312 yr comment_156932 Very odd considering its such a young building. I wonder how this occurred?
April 18, 201312 yr comment_157211 I dunno how much truth there is to this, but a friend (who takes calls for ambulances) said she got a call in her area because the roof of the legoland windsor hotel caved in? I didnt believe it when I was told and I'm still not sure whether to believe it. Has anybody else heard anything or is it absolute twoddle? Thanks
May 5, 201312 yr comment_158411 Legoland has reached capacity today which is the first time this has happened to the park this year and also the first Merlin park on the bank holiday weekend as well.
May 5, 201312 yr comment_158417 legoland at capacity... what fun that'll be! I feel sorry for anyone there TBH
May 7, 201312 yr comment_158576 Lego's capacity is 17500 this year (2010-last year was 16k, 2009 and before was 22k). It'll be busy but nowhere near as bad as it used to be!
May 7, 201312 yr comment_158583 That's something I guess. Still though, lots of sweaty people everywhere!
May 7, 201312 yr comment_158589 Duplo Valley will be opening at Legoland in a week and a half which the park have created an event for. https://www.facebook.com/events/631572700189466/?ref=22
May 11, 201312 yr comment_158834 Double Post [sorry!], but here's a look at how Duplo Land currently looks a week prior to opening up. http://themeuk.net/blog/?p=3857 photos from Theme Uk.
