Huh? It's the second largest site in the UK! Also, it has tonnes of undeveloped land...jon81uk said:...ts not a huge site.

It looks like the ride portion bounces, akin to Mystery Castle... And it in general looks quite good...
Certainly a good enough addition to Legoland it must be said... Now they just need to bring in a better version of Polar X-Plorer...
Link? I've been struggling...
The whole Legoland, add something at one park and port to the others thing seems to at least be producing relatively decent additions?

Lol, trust me, I'm one person that really doesn't need to look on Google maps, and a fair whack of TST would back me up on that .jon81uk said:Islander said:Huh? It's the second largest site in the UK! Also, it has tonnes of undeveloped land...jon81uk said:...ts not a huge site.
Take a look on google maps at the aerial photos. It's quite locked in and they can't get too close to residential areas. There is space they can use but coasters are gonna be harder to fit

The park is not particularly locked in - certainly nothing like, say, Chessington or Thorpe. There are residential areas to the north of the park, though a lot of land exists between the current perimeter of the inner park and these residences. The west is admittedly locked by the perimeter road. There is a lot of undeveloped land owned by the park to the south of the site (outside the inner park, but within the perimeter), and to the west there's the (admittedly weak) potential to acquire more land - that's definitely the least likely.
The park can definitely expand in size, and no doubt will do at some point in the future.
Tim said:As much as I still believe Legoland needs a new coaster this addition actually fills a far more important gap the park lacks, indoor rides. Almost everything at Legoland is based outside, with only a handful (of mostly newer) attractions suitable for rainy conditions.
I suspect the logic behind developments like this, Atlantis and Laser Raiders is the more they offer for rainy days the fewer people will be put off by the weather and so visit on the off-peak days and not in the sold out summer days. If this theory works those traffic problems mentioned above become less of a problem and guests have a better day even if they don't ride the new attraction.
