Legoland NY

We got some cut rate "preview" tickets for 7/8. The forecast
was horrific with 80-95% chance of thunderstorms all day.
Luckily it held off until just as we got in the car to leave!
We walked the entire park in our time there. We had been to
Legoland FL so kinda knew what to expect. This will be a big
hit with younger kids. There probably isn't enough to do for
any kids older than 10. As we walked we saw a lot of little
kids having a very special day.
We rode both coasters. Dragon's Apprentice allows 36 riders
inches and up. The little girl in front of us was making this
her first ever coaster at age 3! She loved it. LOL Her
brother, probably about 12 was not thrilled. The other
coaster, Dragon Coaster, is a family coaster. Both coasters are
in the Castle Section. There are six sections to the park.
Pirates is not ready yet.
We also rode two dark rides. Ninanjo was good with almost Disney
quality technology but not quite. The Lego Factory Ride was
also well done with a nice surprise at the end.
We also walked MiniLand. There they had Lego models of major
American cities and landmarks. It was interesting to see how
they worked things in and avoided copyright infringement.
Overall the park was well done. It is built in a very hilly
area. They put in paths that meander thru and add to the
walking. People were cutting across the grass to save steps and
time despite numerous signs saying not to do that. I think they
need to put in more paved cut thru walks. The parking is a bit
different as you pay on the way out. We were there about three
hours and enjoyed the time at a brand new park.

Hey my bad - I didn't catch that there was already a Legoland NY
thread started. Perhaps the moderator can move this to the
original thread.

I see this more as a trip report.
Glad you made it and had a good trip. strange they have you pay
on your way out. I wonder why they opted to do that.
You mentioned avoiding copyright infringement. Could you
elaborate on that a bit more?

On the models in MiniLand they made joke names rather than using
the real name. For example on the mini 42nd street in the NYC
model they had a marquee with "The Panther Prince" instead of
"The Lion King" which is a clever way to not pay Disney for
using their images/titles.

Cool, thanks for The response. I do want to hit the park though
now that full price has kicked in it's I the $80 range for
tickets.

That is why we did the preview. It is hard to justify $80 for a
three hour park. It was either the preview or wait until ACE
had an event there. We went with the preview.

YA, it's steep. My nieces likely would not be interested but My
nephew Who is only 11 likely would still go. Looks like a nice
park and at first hearing about it I was nervous how it might
affect parks like TGE and the White mountains parks but given
the price I think those parks will still be in high demand.
