LEGO® Star WarsTM Miniland Cluster Announced as Newest Expansion
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (September 6, 2012) – The Force is coming to LEGOLAND® Florida with a new expansion to the park, LEGO® Star WarsTM Miniland Cluster. The expansion plans revealed the new LEGO Star Wars Miniland Cluster will include a scene from each of the six live-action Star Wars movies, as well as a scene from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars™ all created from more than 1.5 million LEGO bricks and built in 1:20 scale. Following a chronological path through the Star Wars™ timeline, guests will retrace the major events of the beloved Saga. Some of the 2,000 LEGO® models will be more than 6-feet-tall. Interactive buttons will allow children to activate animations throughout the scenes.
“Today,
less than a year after our grand opening and only three months after
opening the all-new water park, we are thrilled to announce yet another
expansion this November. This new LEGO Star Wars Miniland Cluster
will add to our 150-acre family theme park, which already features more
than 50 rides, shows and interactive attractions,” said General Manager
Adrian Jones.
During
the event, Jones also outlined the many successes of the park since its
opening. Among the achievements include the successful grand opening of
LEGOLAND Florida, surpassing attendance projections, opening the
LEGOLAND Water Park, setting a World Guinness record and making a huge
economic impact with creating more than 1,300 new jobs. In addition to
the amazing LEGO models found in the park, Central Florida’s newest
theme park provides a full two day experience for families with children
ages 2 to 12. The latest expansion of the LEGO Star Wars Miniland is scheduled to open in November.
