GUINNESS WORLD RECORD SMASHED AT ALL-NEW LEGOLAND® FLORIDA WATER PARK
Winter Haven, Fla. (May 24, 2012) Early
estimates show the Guinness World Record for the most people bouncing
beach balls was obliterated today by guests at LEGOLAND® Florida’s
new water park. The final total reached 1,355 volunteers which smashed
the previous record of 401 beach balls. Guinness auditors will evaluate
the attempt for authentication over the next several weeks. The colorful
event celebrated the addition of the water park attraction, which opens
to the public Saturday, May 26.
A
“park within a park,” the attraction includes Build-A-Raft River, where
guests can build their own LEGO inner tubes and float down a 1,000-foot
lazy river. For the little ones, the DUPLO® Splash Safari is a toddler haven with perfectly sized slides a zero-depth wading pool. Guests
of all ages can play for hours at the Joker Soaker water playground, a
riot of brightly colored ladders, levers, pumps and slides of every
length and type. And a 583,000-gallon, crystal-clear wave pool and five slippery-fast water slides will thrill families all day long.
Admission
to the water park requires a LEGOLAND Florida theme park ticket plus a
$12 water park upgrade. Guests may also purchase a 12-month Premium
Annual Pass, which offers unlimited access to both parks, for just $179
for adults and $149 for children ages 3-12 and seniors.
