Legoland California: 2013 Trip Report

By D.Z. "Theme Park Specialist"
Monday, September 30th, 2013
Earlier this week, I was able to visit LEGOLAND California. I went to check out the Halloween decorations and enjoy some fun rides. I was at the park for 4 hours and had a great time:
 
S1460013
I arrived at the park right when it opened, so it was not crowded at all.
 
 
S1460009
Recently, Sea Life Aquarium added a large new model of King Neptune in front of the entrance. The model is about 10 feet high, all made of LEGOS.
 
 
S1460029
While visiting, I was able to do a lot of spectating, creating one awesome video!



 
One of my first stops was the Adventurers' Club! This walkthrough experience takes guests on a quest to find 3 keys through the South Pole, a temple and even the jungle.
 
S1460098

 

A full video walkthrough of the whole thing.
 
S1460039
I then headed over to Pirate Shores. Recently, the park took out a few LEGO models by "Captain Cranky's Challenge" attraction and replaced them with plants.
 
S1460101
The park also took out three LEGO Pirate musicians, but will return very soon. While they are being reconstructed, four mice provide the music.
 

S1460042
I once again, took the plunge on Pirate Reef.
 
S1460073
One of the newest attractions at LEGOLAND is Pirate Reef! On this ride, guests take a 25 foot plunge into the water.
 

I was able to capture a lot of Pirate Reef through video!
 
S1460066
Pirate Reef was great for a hot day!
  
S1460085
After Pirate Reef, I visited Star Wars Miniland!

S1460092
A little bit later, I was able to check out "Land of Adventure" and go on Lost Kingdom Adventure!
 

 
S1460106
I then was able to take a nice boat ride on "Coast Cruise".

S1460097
Until December, the park will be hosting the Star Wars X-wing Model Display! We were able to check it out and see it for ourselves.
 


 
Because of the season, the park was decorated for Halloween:
 
S1460090
 
S1460087
 
 
To end the trip, I was able to catch one of the showings of THE BIG TEST!
 
S1460127
The show is about a wacky group of firefighters who train for disasters!
 
S1460134
The show includes a lot of laughs, stunts and special effects!
 
S1460131
 
S1460130
 

 
 
Throughout the whole day, I was live streaming on Ustream. I was on air 30 minutes at LEGOLAND! Check out the replay video:
 
 
As you can see, I had an amazing time visiting LEGOLAND California. I hope all of you get out to the park. There is so much to do and so much to see!
