Hapori Tohu Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That Galaxy far, far, away seems to be getting closer all the time, doesn't it. <a href='http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-09-04/business/os-star-wars-legoland-expansion-20120904_1_legoland-florida-clone-wars-lego-models' target='offsite'>The <i>Orlando Sentinel</i> reports</a> that the second LEGO theme park in North America is planning to add a Star Wars focused area of the park.<p>In the classic style of the opening of the Star Wars films, LEGOLAND Florida sent a video to the media reading, "In two days' time in a galaxy 45 minutes away ... the esteemed council of Legoland Florida will reveal a top-secret expansion taking place within the park in the year 2012,". This would be the first section of a LEGOLAND park devoted to a licensed theme--all others have been based around themes like Pirates, Adventurers, Technic, and good, old-fashioned LEGO City. Based on the announcement, we should be looking in the next two days for some more news on the subject.</p>View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 This tells me two things: one, Star Wars is still going very well, and two, that LEGO must have some plan to renew the contract after it expires in a decade's time. If they let it run out, they'd have to get rid of all the LSW stuff in this expansion. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Not sure if it counts, but LEGOLAND Germany has had a Star Wars MINILAND for over a year. This sounds larger than that, though. I agree with Sumiki Mr. Guiteau, Star Wars still seems to be LEGO's top-seller. It's kind of become a classic LEGO theme already. ~Mentos Fruit Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

This is a full-size sorta thing, like the Imagination Zone or Big Town or whatever they call it. Nothing mini about it. At least that's what it sounds like, and I hope that's exactly what it is.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If only I lived closer to Florida. Then I could check this out when it opens. But still, I look forward to learning more about this. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
