Finally, the "PARK MAP" page of the Legoland Florida site is working correctly (even though the map shows up in a very small format!), and here you are the description of the various lands that will be available in our new theme park, which will open on October 2011:

New York City features the Freedom Tower years before its completion in the Big Apple. Tiny jets of water shoot up from the fountain in Rockefeller Plaza, while an army of animated yellow taxicabs prowls the streets of Times Square.

______________________________

Well, as I said many times, I'm really excited about this park. Even though I'm not in the age range of the park (5-12 years old) and I do not have any kids, I am really happy about this because I'm not a coaster or thrill rides fanatic, so seeing a new park coming to Orlando that finally doesn't focus entirely on coasters (cough*ORLANDO THRILL PARK*cough) is really great news. I just hope that in the future they will add the Adventurer's club (a walk-through attraction), the Fairy-tale Brook ride and the Pirates' splash battle.

About the rides that will be there, the ones that I will enjoy are the Fun Theater, The Lost Kingdom Adventure, The Coastersaurus, The Dragon, The Flight school and many others.

Which of those attractions are your favorites?
