Mark,
Is this information you state from official sources (i.e., press releases)
or from unofficial sources (i.e., rumors) or is it educated speculation?
BTW, if indeed there is going to be a Floridian LEGOLAND, another
possibility for the ng names, might be:
lugnet.legoland (General/generic)
lugnet.legoland.de Deutschland/Germany [reserved]
lugnet.legoland.dk Billund, Denmark
lugnet.legoland.us.ca California, USA
lugnet.legoland.us.fl Florida, USA [reserved]
lugnet.legoland.uk Windsor, England, U.K.
One [albeit small] trouble I have with spelled-out names like .california,
.windsor, and .billund is that the first two are clearly actual official
names of the parks (e.g., "LEGOLAND California" and "LEGOLAND Windsor")
while the third -- although it seems to be the case -- may not actually be
the official name of the park (or is it?)... Unless... was the former
world-renouned "LEGOLAND" in Billund renamed officially from "LEGOLAND" to
"LEGOLAND Billund" a few years ago when LEGOLAND Windsor came into being?
On the other hand, another reason *to* use the spelled-out names is that the
official TLG site uses these in their URLs -- not in a consistent way,
unfortunately, but at least it's setting some kind of example...
LEGOLAND Billund ==> http://www.lego.com/legoland/billund/
LEGOLAND California ==> http://www.legolandca.com/
LEGOLAND Windsor ==> http://www.lego.com/windsor/
==> http://www.legoland.co.uk/
...and it's pretty darn unlikely that two LEGOLAND theme parks would ever
have the same name, even in different countries and even when/if there are
50 of them. Prolly will go with spelled-out names unless someone speaks up
with new data really soon.
