UK Owned Merlin Entertainment and Legoland® Florida have announced new plans for a multi-attraction water park in 2012. The new Winter Haven, Fl venues will be open in mid-2012 and will target families with kids ages 2-12. The new Legoland® Florida water park options will be available as an upgrade for a regular admission pass. The new water-oriented entertainment options will include a wave pool, water, and tube slides, soaker and raft themed attractions plus a special toddler swim area.
The six new Legoland Orlando Florida themed water venues include:
- Duplo® Splash Safari – Splash area geared towards smaller children and includes Lego-themed characters
- Build-a-Raft River – Challenging build-your-own raft building exercise through a lush lazy river
- Joker Soaker – Interactive themed spray and fountain attraction for the whole family
- Splash Out – Steeply dropping slides descend from a 60-foot high platform
- Twin Chasers – Crisscrossing connected tube ride that empties into a refreshing water feature
- Lego Wave Pool – A relaxing wave pool to cool off on a sunny Florida day
This is a more exciting expansion and growth for Central Florida’s tourism market. This is right on the heels of the SeaWorld Orlando Empire of the Penguin expansion set for 2012-13.
