LEGOLAND® California Resort Builds Special Thank You To Honor Frontline Heroes!

CARLSBAD, CA (April 29, 2020) – There aren’t enough words to say “thank you” to all of the essential workers on the frontline during this difficult time, but there are 640 LEGO® bricks a Master Model Builder at LEGOLAND® California Resort, used to build such a message of gratitude. The white mosaic with black script and a yellow ribbon, all created out of LEGO, was built by Model Builder Tim Sams and spans more than three-feet long and is nearly two-feet tall. Attractions of Merlin Entertainments, including LEGOLAND Resorts and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers across the globe, are sharing their messages of hope and gratitude hopefully bringing some smiles and fun to families until we can open attractions once again. A variety of content, along with the thank you LEGO mosaic, can be found on a dedicated YouTube and Facebook page for “Making Magic With Merlin.”
