LEGOLAND Florida Pre-Opening Photo Update (September 2011): The Beginning

LEGOLAND Florida is just a month away from its grand opening, and the park looks almost ready t welcome its first guests! Yesterday we had the great opportunity of visiting the park, to see how work was proceeding, and we took a look at three areas: the beginning, Miniland U.S.A., and the Land of Adventure.

Today, we'll check out the Beginning. Before entering the park, though, let's take a look outside the park:

As you can see, new temporary banners advertise LEGOLAND right at the entrance to the park's parking lot:

The huge parking:

It already looks like a great place:

This parking will be flooded with cars very soon:

The entrance to the park is absolutely great:

The entrance plaza of LEGOLAND is just as big as Disney's Animal Kingdom entrance:

Colored LEGO bricks will lead guests to the entrance:

The ticket windows:

The main entrance will soon receive some banners and LEGO creations:

The turnstiles:

The main entrance is fully themed, with great trees, plants... and, of course, LEGO characters!:

There are some prehistoric animals that will greet young guests... with some watery surprises!:

Ever seen a LEGO rainbow?:

The biggest shop of the park is located right at the entrance/exit of the park:

It's "The Big Shop":

Some tourists have already done some shopping:

The Market Restaurant:

Going toward the center of the Beginning:

The Annual Pass Center is now complete:

The Island in the Sky:

Some well-known LEGO characters are hanging there:

Mmm.. What do I smell?:

Oh, yes! It's Granny's Apple Fries!:

A closer look at the sign:

The Minifigure Market:

The Duplo Barn (a play area for young children):

The old gazebo that was here has been completely removed, and it will be replaced by a brand-new building:

And this is all just... the Beginning. See you soon, with pictures of Miniland U.S.A.!
