SoCalCoasters Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEGOLAND WATERPARK! Today I visited the legoland Water park on it's 1st Aniversary, as well as the Sea Life Aquarium, and the normal park. Lots of updates so stay tuned! ( I apologize for my finger being in so many of the shots, I was in a hurry....) Welcome to legoland CA, we hope you and the 10,000 other people here enjoy your visit! (ignore the finger) We'll be seeing both of these today! I want to see these after it rains Obligitory Scenic Shot Why can't all kiddie coaster be this awesome? The Singing Rocks Have Returned! Welcome to Sky Cruiser! Current Wait Time: 3 Hours (no joke) Even the Helicopters had a full queue! Some rehab work going on Nothing to see here move along! Police and Fire Academy was having some trouble... The new sign shows off the wait times for each side! But this is what you've all been waiting for! The remodeled outside Lego Factory Queue. Turnbed into Tickets and Guest Services...no more line jumping Lego kids.. Going Green! For Larry Entry way... A small water interaction area dominates the midway. Giant $5 Dyers that don't work, check. Locker Complex A close up of the water play area. Front view of Locker complex Restrooms and Showers Eatery Original Kiddie Area...we'll get to the new one a bit later Lots of slides for the little ones! The awesome Lazy River One of the various figures that shoots water at you Lazy River Entrance Great park Curves around most of the slide complex Giant Slide Tower The raft slide, Orange Rush Looks harmless right? SKLOOSH Another Lazy River View Another view of the slide complex Twin Chasers, the park's racing slides Another view For Larry Water is everywhere. Another figure with a water feature Close up TC. All the dirt is now grass! From the tower, you get some great views! Slides and More Slides Twin Chaser's Twin Chutes More slides The theming is really great! Splash Out, the blue slide. Looking up It's taller than it looks More of the Chasers Orange Rush rafts going up. Great views again.. Splash Out up close Great views thrice (Legoland owns most, if not all of the land past the waterpark!) hint hint Can you handle another slide shot? So. Much. Water. Orange Rush! The castle themed entance. Massive flume... Another figure along the river. More construction...hhmmmm..... Definitely the best slide here. Wait for it... A raft of happy riders about to splash down. We see you Splash Zoo! More Orange Rush Now back to the kiddies. A smaller lazy river just for the little ones! Here it is! The whole area has a very clean vibe. Every animal has some kind of user interaction! As this rises and falls, the water shoots higher. Zebra Lion Giraffe Shaded Areas oh my! The Zoo Sign shoots a geyser. Orange Rush from a distance.... That's it for now! I'll post the rest of the pictures later! Hope you enjoyed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 This is probably one of the coolest looking water parks I've seen. I especially love that Lego-themed splash house. I actually never knew Legoland had a water park until hearing about this TR. Sorta makes me more excited for Legoland East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 ^You really should have read Robb and my TR's more in the past then! Was the water warm? Last year it was heated, but last month it wasn't and was so cold, most kids wouldn't even go in. If the park was as busy as you said and the water park was as dead as it looked I'm wondering if the water is still freezing. Parks should really learn from parks like Cowabunga Bay that heat the water...it makes a big difference!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Wow! That water park looks amazing! I love that everything is themed to lego. Great TR. Can't wait to see more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabaSD Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Thank you so much for the pictures - we let our passes expire just before the water park opened up. Looks like a nice area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 ^^^ The water appeared to be not heated, I didn't actually go in, as I was not wearing the appropriate clothing. ^, ^^, ^^^^, Thanks! Part Two Of My Trip! Includes the new Octopus Gardens Area of the Sea Life Aquarium! Poor guy, he's been trying to fix that sign for over ten years now... Skipper School...doesn't seem to be teaching well based on the people in the upper left hand corner. I do the like the entry plaza though... Star Wars Miniland: Through the trees! The area was packed! Catle Hill. All the little touches just make the park better. No trip to Legoland is complete without Apple Fries! These two pieces of theming were repurposed into one! The Dragon, and the new really obrusive sign. Artsy Shot Through the trees! Spellbreaker is turning in its grave, or srap heap. Level 5 is intense as ever. Lost Queuedom Adventure....need I say more? Even the TPR Mascot made an appearance! The Dune Raiders Slide Complex For Larry The first week this this was open, it ran like a bat out of hell, then they slowed it down a whole bunch... This area turned out very well themed! Technic Queuester Still the best ride in the park. There used to be a yellow and black strip below this Technic Sign. Bionicle Blasters now has a sound system with a great techno track! Best Signage in the park. Aquazone got new banner signs! Water was murky as usual Funny how the two better shows are the ones not listed. They completely destroyed this model by adding the stupid game controller... Einstien says hello Coast Queues Another shot of the beautiful exapanse. And now we head into Sea Life! The reason we're here! And here we are! This guy appeared to be sleeping on the glass. That lump back there is an Octopus... And they had a cuttlefish as well! The area was poorly lit, so I didn't get a good shot of it... Is this aquarium really empty? That's it folks! Hope you enjoyed your trip through all the pictures I had to offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SETGO Guys Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Legoland is a really great looking park! While the waterpark wouldn't be quite appealing to me....However it looks great for young kids! I would've loved it when I was younger! The whole park seems to have a great atmosphere! One question is on the Fire Fun Town academy, How did they get those wait times so exact? Great Report SoCal! Looking forward to more Legoland Uupdates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WaterPark is rumored to be getting an expansion that appeals to older kids as well, and may make it more attractive. The queue times are changed by the ride ops I believe.... I'll ask next time I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The water park does look great and I love the fact that it looks like it was built out Legos! Legoland California, and all the Legoland parks for this matter seem to have an amazing atmosphere. All their rides have unique theming. I wish I had a chance to visit Legoland when I was still into legos 10 years ago! Still tempting to go there now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks for all your comments! Here's the one video I took this trip: It's quite a unique attraction, and I hope it remains in the park for years to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
