Central Florida’s newest theme park — Legoland — is on track to open Oct. 15, The Orlando Sentinel reported.
Merlin Entertainment is building the theme park on a 140-plus-acre tract of land formerly occupied by Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven.
“I think Legoland has its place in the theme-park community,” The Associated Press quoted park general manager Adrian Jones as saying in a recent report. “We focus primarily and always on families with children aged 2 to 12. And we’re good at that. We don’t try to be all things to all people.”
The Florida location will be the second Legoland in North America — a California location opened in 1999. There are also Legoland parks in Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Cypress Gardens opened in 1936 and closed in 2009, according to The Orlando Sentinel.
