4th of July Events

This weekend is Independence Day in the U.S. and that means a nice long weekend for many of us and a time for Theme Parks and other destinations to roll out special 4th of July events.

We've been posting about these for a few weeks in our Industry News section but we figured we'd give you a run-down on the fun you can have this weekend. But beware, these parks will be busy, so take advantage of these ERT opportunities. We'll be adding more as we get more releases this week.

For full details on any of these events click the links provided.

The Queen Mary

The Queen Mary’s 2015 All-American July 4th Celebration will be a festive all-age party presenting 100 years of American spirit and tradition. The decades will come alive through entertainment, music, activities, food and fun the whole family will enjoy. As night falls, The Queen Mary’s decks will become front row seats to one of the best fireworks shows in Southern California.

When Britain's most famous ocean liner was still a dream, the Cunard Lines recruited the John Brown shipyard in Scotland to build what would become the world's most famous ocean liner. When Britain's certified LEGO builders, Bright Bricks Inc. decided to commemorate the ship in LEGO Bricks - they never dreamed the huge model would someday come to Long Beach and be displayed on the actual Queen Mary. "The agreement to display our model on the ship is the perfect end to a wonderful LEGO adventure," said Bright Bricks co-founder, Ed Diment.
