Family Theme Park and Warner Bros. Consumer Products Unveil New Rides, Attractions and Iconic LEGO Characters for 2020 CARLSBAD, Calif. (August 15, 2019) –The audience erupted in cheer and confetti filled the theater as LEGOLAND® California Resort unveiled its biggest gift for its 20th birthday by announcing the largest addition in the Park’s history: The LEGO® Movie™ World. General Manager Peter Ronchetti is excited to take guests from theater to theme park in 2020. “The LEGO MOVIE WORLD is LEGOLAND California Resort’s largest Park addition ever and we are thrilled to create an interactive experience that fully immerses guests into a world that was so brilliantly created by LEGO and celebrated by the hugely popular LEGO film franchise from our friends at Warner Bros.,” said Ronchetti. “We can’t wait to see the faces on all the children as they interact within the creative world of Bricksburg and experience the incredible Masters of Flight ride which is taking the traditional soaring-type of ride to new heights.” On the flagship ride Masters of Flight, guests hop aboard Emmet’s triple decker flying couch for a thrill-seeking adventure. The flying theater attraction whisks guests away on a suspended ride with a full-dome virtual screen, giving the sensational feeling of flying above memorable lands such as Middle Zealand, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Pirates Cove and Outer Space. Along the way, riders will see some familiar faces along with some new ones like Sweet Mayhem, a star character from THE LEGO® MOVIE 2: The Second Part. Masters of flight features cutting edge technology including a 180-degree turn in the ride experience. The LEGO MOVIE WORLD is based on the blockbuster films The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. The new land fully immerses guests into the LEGO Movie universe and places them onto the streets of Bricksburg. In addition to Masters of Flight, kids and families will get to enjoy the rush of falling from Unikitty’s Disco Drop and experiencing the many personalities of the fearless feline. The new ride launches guests to the top of Cloud Cuckoo Land, then drops, spins and bounces them back down to earth, creating a thrilling and fun experience. The adventure doesn’t stop there as guests can explore Benny’s Play Ship, ride a fully reimagined carousel, and meet Emmet and all of his friends in Emmet’s Super Suite apartment. The LEGO MOVIE WORLD will be included in the price of admission to LEGOLAND California Resort.

Today we're back with part two of Chris' update from Legoland California. Today we are taking you on a hard hat tour of the all new Deep Sea Adventure which includes lots of great pictures and a video we posted earlier in the week. This attraction looks and sounds amazing and we can't wait to check it out. If you missed the first part of Chris' update from the all new Legoland Castle Hotel be sure to check it out. Written by Christopher Moghtaderi (click any picture below to see a larger version) THE PARK DEEP SEA ADVENTURE Deep Sea Adventure is coming soon and as mentioned before, we had the opportunity to take a hard hat tour through the ride. Here is a photo of the outside as well as the concept art of what the exterior and the submarines are expected to look like. Our first photo shows the majority of the track system followed by a photo of the pool and the track system. Because the ride includes live aquatic life, an underwater track system would be dangerous for the fish. You will also notice that the ride is relatively small but the ride moves very slowly which results in a 4-5-minute ride. I’ve included some photos of the concept art and models below. The ride queue is nearing completion. As you can see, it’s off to a fantastic start. Here are some photos of the models that are inside the pool. Rather than using a metal internal frame, they used fiberglass to avoid rusting. The master builder was excited that this will be the first time they will maintain the models under water and they have gotten their scuba certifications. UPDATES Just because the hotel is being built and a new ride is being added, doesn’t mean the park gets neglected. They are adding some exciting new models. As you can see by the signs, Mann’s Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Bowl are two major features. According to one of the workers, the rest will continue the Southern California/Los Angeles theme. Thanks again to Chris and his family for this amazing look at what's coming to Legoland California. We can't wait to see all of the new attractions!!

The ride will open in summer of 2018 and takes guests on a submarine ride looking for lost treasure on a sunken LEGO shipwreck.
