WHY OH WHY can something like this not happen at Legoland, California?
Are we not special?
Do you think there is not a market for this?
Do you think we do not want it?
The thing that gets me is this is not their first one. I *wish* I could be
there. And if I could, I would - trust me!
I would think this would be a great idea to have at LL CA. I know that I
would be there in a heartbeat. What do we have to do to get one of these??
Seriously, what do we have to do???
