Last week we were invited out to Legoland California as they announced their new attractions for 2015. 
The park announced both a new Star Wars "Death Star" Mini-Land and a Lego Friends Heartlake City area. Both will be opening in 2015. For all the information on those announcements see the full Press Release. 

Today we are going to take a look at the preparations that are already taking place for these new attractions as well as a look at preparations for Holiday Snow Days and Winter Nights. 

Later this week we'll take a look at the rest of the park as it's truly one of our favorites. 


2015 Park Additions

As we arrived it was a beautiful but warm day in Carlsbad.

The park set up a nice little continental breakfast for the gathered media. Always nice to see after having a 3 1/2 hour drive in the early morning. 
Picture
The announcement was held in the nice air conditioned 3D theater.

The next few pictures should look pretty familiar to anybody reading this.

The Force will be with you ... always.

Lego R2D2 came out to join Peter for the announcement, we need to get one of these for any future Park Journey meets, because it's awesome. 
Picture
Next the Lego Friends came out to announce Heartlake City. I have to admit, I'm unfamiliar with the Lego Friends because my kids are a bit older than the target audience, but the area looks like it's going to be very well done and I think I'll bring my 7 year old Niece to see this when it opens. She'll love it.

It looks like work has already started on the Death Star miniland, which if you are familiar with the Star Wars Miniland is next to the Hoth set. 
Picture
The park would neither confirm or deny that this was the spot of the Death Star Miniland, but it would make sense. 
Picture
Star Wars Death Star Miniland opens on March 5, just in time for Star Wars Days on March 7 and 8. 
Picture
The park also didn't announce where Heartlake City will be, but in looking at the artwork, it appears to be taking over some of the WaterWorks area, which makes sense because Heartlake City will also have a water feature.

We'll have much more on these two new additions in the months to come and we'll of course be there for the opening of the new Miniland in March. 

Holiday Snow Days and Winter Nights

Preparations are also underway for Holiday Snow Days and Winter Nights, including an ice skating rink at the front of the park. 

I've personally never seen Legoland at night so I'm hoping we'll get to see the event this year.

The Fun Town Police and Fire Academy is closed and is getting snow for the holidays. Hope it doesn't melt before then. =)

Offseason Refurbishments

Splash Battle is closed for an offseason refurbishment
Picture
Picture
Picture
This is a really great attraction and it's great to see it get love every offseason. 
Picture
There's always something fun getting added to Miniland and this offseason it looks like the San Francisco Miniland is getting some attention. 
Picture
Picture
Just hope they aren't adding a San Francisco Giants parade. =)

Lego Movie Experience

Lastly, the new addition for 2014 was the Lego Movie Experience. This has been open since the Spring but we were unable to make it down. So we wanted to share with you this great walk-through.

Everything is Awesome!!!

That's going to wrap it up for this Legoland update. We'll have more from Legoland later in the week as we take a look at the rest of this awesome park.
