Miniland is only a small part of the LEGOLAND experience. I doubt
we'll have roller coasters and Castle Burgers in our backyards anytime
soon. Castle Burgers... Yummm (I swear they taste just like a Whopper).
The biggest "problem" they will have from AFOL train layouts is the
kids that want to buy sets like the stuf we have on display. Everyone
knows you can't buy a 20 foot Empire State Building, but kids always ask
where they can buy our train cars and smaller buildings. We kindly point
out the token 4561 and 4556 and use words like "imagination".
