No Legoland in Florida — for now
Is Legoland looking to open a theme park in Central Florida? The chain's
operator says no, at least not any time soon.
Rumors that the chain,
inspired by Lego building
blocks for children, was considering the Orlando area for a second U.S. theme
park spread across the Internet last week after some Central Floridians
reportedly received surveys gauging their interest in a Florida
Legoland.
But Merlin Entertainments Group, the parks' British-based
parent company, said the rumors of a second U.S. park weren't true.
"This
is pure speculation!" wrote Sally Ann Wilkinson, a Merlin spokeswoman reached by
e-mail last week. Wilkinson said the company, which already has Legolands in
California, Germany, Denmark and England, considers the United States a key
market for expanding all of its attractions, including Madame Tussauds and Sea
Life.
"To this end we are assessing the potential of several key areas,
including Florida, and this often includes us undertaking consumer research.
However, we have no specific plans as yet for the state."
