The LEGO Movie Event At LEGOLAND California Resort

January 3, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

There are some big things happening at LEGOLAND California Resort at the end of January and into February. An anonymous reader has sent me some unannounced information on what will be going on at the park. Since The LEGO Movie will be released the first week of February, the staff at LEGOLAND has been working hard to get the park ready for its premiere next month.

First, the park will have a big event at the end of this month to promote the movie and will have several of the cast members attending as VIP guests including Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Channing Tatum, and more. They are also rumored to be back again for the premiere.

Secondly, the Playtown Theater is currently under renovations and will be changed to become a walkthrough attraction that will feature special figures, models, and more from The LEGO Movie.

The LEGOLAND California Hotel has been booked by Warner Brothers for executives and their families for them to stay and enjoy the festivities at the park.

Finally, the LEGOLAND Wardrobe department has constructed a costume character of Emmet and he will be making appearances at the park and taking pictures with visitors following the movie’s release and maybe even before then.

There are no dates at this time but we’ll be getting more information in the near future and we’ll be updating as soon as we get them. It looks like a very exciting time at LEGOLAND California and I look forward to visiting in the near future!

Update: There are … Continue

September 12, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today, LEGOLAND California announced a major expansion for the Water Park that is set to open Summer 2014. The 2.5 acre expansion will cost about $12 million and will be featuring attractions from the LEGO Legends of Chima theme. This expansion follows the footsteps of LEGOLAND’s sister park in Florida where they opened The World of Chima back in July. The cost of admission to the new area will be included with the admission to the LEGOLAND Water Park. The new expansion will be located in the north-east area of park next to the Pirate Reef attraction. Four of the eight new areas of the expansion were revealed today as well by park officials.

The “Lion Temple Wave Pool” will be the centerpiece of the expansion and will have a 30 foot Mount Kavora where water will cascade down. It it also show various characters from each of the tribes.

“Cragger’s Swamp” is a play area where it lets kids blast water cannons and ride water slides right into the head of a large crocodile.

On “Eglor’s Build-A-Boat, kids can build a boat much like the current Build-A-Raft attraction and race against other kids while dodging obstacles.

The “Wolves’ Cantina” is a food service area that will show off things from the Wolf tribe.

If you remember back in April, LEGOLAND California Hotel opened and rooms were quickly filled up. Officials are hoping that the new Legends of Chima Water Part will attract customers who want to say at the park for more than a … Continue

June 16, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

This is what the exclusive LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) looks like that fans could have gotten at Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California this past weekend. Kids who entered and won the Jedi Trivia, got one of these bad boys.

Star Wars Days Weekend Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

June 11, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

FBTB has posted an image of the exclusive minifigure that will be available away this weekend at Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California. The Clone Trooper Lieutenant will be given out to volunteers from SanDLUG and LUGOLA that help out on Saturday and Sunday. Ace has also mentioned that you might be able to get one from the Big Shop if you spend a certain amount there. Children might also be able to get the Trooper from the 501st Droid Hunt game that will be going on during the weekend.

I might be going to LEGOLAND this weekend to experience Star Wars Days once again but will not be able to volunteer with the local LUGs which saddens me. The life-sized X-wing Starfighter that was revealed at New York a couple of weeks ago will also be displayed there which I’m excited to see.

LEGOLAND California Hotel Opens Today

April 5, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today, the LEGOLAND California resort officially opens their brand new LEGOLAND Hotel right next to the LEGOLAND Park in Carlsbad, CA. Construction of the first LEGOLAND Hotel in the nation began in December 2011 and now is finally completed. There are 250 guest rooms spread out on three stories that are themed. Guest can choose to stay in one of three different themes: Pirate, Kingdom, or Adventure. You can also choose a Premium Themed room which include some extra theming and features in the room as well as an extra LEGO gift for each child inside the treasure chest.

All guest rooms include separate sleeping areas for adults and kids. Adults will have a queen-sized bed while the children get to have a bunk bed and a pull out trundle bed. All the guest rooms will have high definition televisions but who needs that when you have all the LEGO entertainment inside the room such as the bucket filled with LEGO bricks to build things with. There will be some nice goodies for guests such as an in-room treasure hunt for LEGO gifts. As an added bonus for staying at the hotel, guests can get early entry to select LEGOLAND rides and attractions even before the park opens. You can read more about the special features here. Reservations for the LEGOLAND Hotel are now open and rates begin as low as $149 per night.

I, for one, am very excited for the opening of the new LEGOLAND Hotel and hopefully I’ll get to stay there … Continue

LEGO Harlem Shake Videos

February 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I’m a little late to this but the Harlem Shake dance has already hit viral levels and everyone and everything has joined the party. SpastikChuwawa has created a stop-motion video of the LEGO Avengers Super Heroes doing the dance with Iron Man taking the lead. To Hawkeye, you just be Hawkeye. Nicely made video, SpastikChuwawa.

In another video, the employees of LEGOLAND California has also done the Harlem Shake in Miniland USA. It’s nice to see the employees take a little time off to have a little (more) fun.
