This would be AMAZING, but sadly I don't see it ever happening. This country just has something against good public transportation. This is one of the few areas it could work well too. Once you're on Disney property, you don't need a car; and once at the Convention Center there is the I-Drive Trolley and a ton of hotel shuttles. Sad.

We talked to some of the team behind this park while at Ferrari World and they seem very into it and very excited. A water park like this is a very different concept from the others in the region so it will be interesting to see how it works out. We're already planning another trip back to Dubai (love the place!) so we'll make sure to check this out!

^I don't think they'll let us do that, we are working with them on some other fun ideas though!

Oh Roller Coaster and Theme Park shirts; have you no shame!?!?!

I believe it's usually pretty dead on Mothers Day, but they've tried to combat that with bring a friend free coupons good on that day. I'd still go for it if it works better in your schedule than Monday.

To almost answer one of your questions, I believe Yum Yum Cupcake Truck tweeted that they actually won first place!

I'm glad you enjoy the park, keep on enjoying it. Like others have said, if you can't see the changes you either are blind or trying not to see them. It's not a huge deal by any means, but it's there and we're all just hoping for more after seeing what the park was capable for (even if it was for just a short time).

How much is it to add the aquarium? If I remember correctly and it's only like $10 I would go for it as it's a nice relaxing quiet, dark, air conditioned respite to your day at Legoland. If it's more than that, I wouldn't bother as the Aquarium is just as geared towards children as the water park is and it's quite small.

^What he said.

Yeah, small station or not, I'd have to imagine word will get out and there could be REAL issues with this promotion. Chicago people are only slightly less prone to rioting and violence than LA and there have been 'promotions' like this in LA before that did not end well!

Wow! It looks like KT will enjoy this park as much as the rest of us do now! Nice!

The thing that's odd here is this is the company that runs the Global Village rides. The Global Village rides are carnival rides. Nothing real. Scary to have them do the largest wheel in the world!

^Why are you rolling your eyes? And I think you all need to settle down in this thread. Calling the owners of the site arrogant will just get you sent away, that's an idiot thing to do!

Looks a lot better than Pilgrim's Plunge! Seriously, it's a water ride and will feel great on those hot Italian days! Sounds like the Italians may be getting a bit greedy...you've gotten a new park, Intamin Launched and the first B&M Wingrider all in the last few years, be happy!

This.

Aw crap, there goes me losing weight this week! Must go check this out!!!

^I loved last nights episode!!! From all the awesome cruise stuff, to the idea of a worldwide virus, it was very Elissa Friendly!

I'm a little bummed at the height restriction on this (47.3"). I get that their mouse is the same, but at Legoland and in Scandinavia, this seems really high for a children's attraction. I expected a 42" restriction for something like this. Looks really cute though! As for the new Pizza and Pasta Buffet, it's a little disturbing how much all the Merlin parks are starting to look the same.

There were a couple a maintainance guys standing around underneath it early in the day. I didn't see any cars laying around or covered but did see what looked look axles. Did they look more or less confused than the past five years?

Any news on Flying Turns?

I love it!!!

Excited to see how it all turned out!

Haven't been paying much attention to the Art of Animation Resort stuff, but...just decided to book it for the second night it's open! KT has PreSchool Graduation on Friday, June 1 then we'll go check in for the weekend to celebrate!

I feel like we'll probably see a Ferris Wheel first, but I do believe a Kiddie Coaster is somewhere in the future on a ship.

Oh good!
