Legoland is coming to the Toronto area !!

At Vaughn Mills, just an hour north of downtown Toronto. This is across the street from Canada's Wonderland !
It's a mini park, but it's better than nothing!

Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

We have a full blown Legoland Park about one hour from where I live. They just broke a World Record for beach balls.

Is Legoland worth the money to go for Adults? I love legos but I do not have any kids. I suppose I could borrow my niece and nephew when they come down on vacation but I really do not want to pay for them.

We have a Lego Discovery place nearby, we haven't been yet. I love Lego, my wife on the other hand does not understand it. I mean, who DOESN'T need 4 lego pirates ships in their media room???

The first LEGO store I was ever in was located inside GUM, the state store across Red Square from the Kremlin.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Legoland is coming to Toronto (sort of)
We went last year when they first opened. The had a special sneak preview weekend for AAA members at a discounted price. Since we were there they have added a water park. Cypress Gardens is part of the park and has beautiful flora to admire. There are rides and shows for adults and children, so it is worth the price of admission.Is Legoland worth the money to go for Adults? I love legos but I do not have any kids.

The park entry fee for Legoland is also cheaper than Disney or Universal. ;)
