Well, Legoland is and their water park attraction is currently under construction.

Legoland water park will open its gates to the public in May. According to General Manager Adrian Jones, the Florida Legoland water park will be their biggest.

“We will have a wave pool, lazy river, tube slides, body slides and an interactive water-play structure for families to enjoy,” said Jackie Wallace, Legoland media relations representative. The new attraction will be an intrinsic part of the 150-acre Legoland theme park in Winter Haven.

Some of the features the Legoland water park will have are the Build-A-Raft River where families can design and build a unique LEGO vessel and set afloat on the 1,000-foot long lazy river. Another sure to be popular feature with the thrill seekers in the family will be the Twin Chasers and Splash Out, where visitors ascend to the tallest point of the water park and choose from one of three unique slides, then speed down a 60-foot drop and “splash out” into the water below.

The Twin Chasers will have friends and family riding tubes 375 feet down an intertwining pair of enclosed water slides before plunging into a pool below.

For the younger and less daring are the Joker Soaker, an interactive playground, and the Lego Wave Pool, where families can catch a gentle wave or simply cool off. According to Wallace all ages will be able to enjoy the Wave Pool.

“The waves will be rolling but gentle enough to allow all ages to participate,” said Wallace.

The DUPLO Splash Safari is sure to delight toddlers with a play area that has shorter slides and interactive, larger-than-life DUPLO creatures.

The Imagination Station at the water park will have interactive, educational and imaginative fun for all.

There will be two interactive tables. On one kids can build bridges, dams and cities out of DUPLO bricks and test them against the flow of water. On the other they will be able to control the flow of water by creating patterns out of LEGO elements.

Another area of the station will host a musical water stand with a series of holes on top that squirt water, allowing children to become conductors of their own water symphony as they cover holes to create new music notes.

The Legoland water park is being constructed in a much quicker fashion than the main park because it was the newer area of the former Cypress Gardens.

“We have inherited a great set of bones to work with. A lot of the features that were here are intact and we are just Legolizing them,” said Wallace.
