So, what is your take on the project? Is this a cross between a LEGO
Imagination center and a LEGOLAND Park? From the looks of the one working
link you have, the image of the flyer, the graphic is of the park only. Where
would the shopping be located? Or does the shopping mean only LEGO.
This is quite a surprise to me. I bet others had their jaw drop like mine.
Not that I am knocking Kansas City, Missouri (which by the way, you might
want to explain briefly for others the dual state nature of Kansas City, MO)
but, this is really only a regional place for travel. While I am certain
adding a LEGOLAND MO to the list of parks would be great, foot traffic is
certainly, I would guess, going to be lower than LEGOLAND CA.
Did they mention this as part of any larger expansion scheme? Like to
Florida, maybe? (fingers crossed).
Keep the community up to date on this. Certainly, it might be a few years
away, but its not to early to start planning a convention in Kansas City!

Disclaimer: I lived in the Kansas City, Missouri, area for a few years. It’s a
great town, lots of golf courses, the best BBQ in the known universe (in my
opinion!), and some crazy fanatical baseball and football fans. I really
enjoyed living there. (And living now in the Twin Cities, I’m only about a 7
hour drive away.)
But, I don’t see a Legoland park doing well there. The park could only be open
six or seven months out of the year, and the metropolitan area isn’t so big that
they could rely on just local visitors - they’d have to have out-of-town
visitors to make it feasible. If you’ve ever flown into the KC airport, it’s in
the middle of nowhere, at least an hour drive from the location of the proposed
park. And unlike Southern California, there aren’t that many other attractions
to help draw people.
My ‘gut’ response is that the developer is using the Lego name as a way to draw
interest and money into their project, and that this Legoland won’t be part of
the final design.
