Kids Take the 1st Ride (and Drive, and Flight) at LEGOLAND Florida

(Driving) School is In Session!

Rides at LEGOLAND® Florida Receive All A’s

WINTER HAVEN, FL - Even though students are just getting back to the classroom, Central Florida’s newest theme park LEGOLAND® Florida has gotten its marks by the toughest critics – Kids! Scheduled to open to the public on October 15, LEGOLAND has more than 50 rides, shows and attractions all geared toward families with children ages 2-12. This weekend, the still-under-construction park invited twenty- two children and parents to be the first to ride four of LEGOLAND Florida’s rides.  They soared in flight, drove their own LEGO® cars, trekked an African safari and battled through an Egyptian treasure hunt.

Featured Rides Include:

· Flying School – a suspended steel coaster that lets kids experience the thrill of flight

· Driving School – a “real-life” driving experience for children ages 6 through 13, where kids receive their official LEGOLAND driver’s license

· Safari Trek – explores the wilds of Africa and features gorgeous, life-like LEGO animals

· Lost Kingdom Adventure – LEGOLAND Florida’s spectacular dark ride invites guests to fire laser blasters at targets and brave the rugged Egyptian landscape in all-terrain roadsters, while attempting to unearth the vast treasures of a forgotten empire
