With slightly under 100 days until the Grand Opening of LEGOLAND Florida on October 15, the countdown clock is ticking as rides begin to appear at the park. From The Royal Joust to LEGO Technic Test Track Coaster, construction crews are hard at work transforming the property into the interactive theme park geared toward families with children ages 2-12 years.
The Royal Joust, where kids ride LEGO-themed horses through a number of medieval scenes where they encounter other riders in a simulated joust. LEGO TECHNIC® Test Track is a “wild mouse-style roller coaster where brave guests feel the power of acceleration, braking and maneuverability as they race a life-size LEGO TECHNIC vehicle along a wildly twisting track.
Located in Winter Haven, the 150-acre interactive park will feature over 50 rides and attractions, restaurants, shopping and beautiful landscapes.
Meanwhile, a group of about 120 first-graders from Valleyview Elementary School will be among the first class of Polk County students to receive a free field trip to LEGOLAND Florida next school year, compliments of the University of South Florida Polytechnic, when the park opens in October.
