Spinning off the parks, or selling them outright, sounds ominous. It suggests
a level of distress calling for drastic measures. I cannot imagine TLC
divesting LL Billund because it’s so close, physically and emotionally, to
the heart of the company and its history. But I could see LLCA gone in a
hearbeat -- it’s a small kid theme park in very competitive market.
Personally, that’s very sad. My wife and I just bought Ambassador passes only
a few weeks ago. We aren’t interested in LLCA as a theme park, but as a link
to TLC.

IMHO selling the LL parks to an outside company is just beyond stupid. I mean
HELLO - this is LEGOland. This is not some generic theme park where it does not
really matter who is running it - I don’t want to see LLCA run by some random
company. What happens to THE major thing that keeps me buying year passes - the
LL exclusive items, the S@H only sets at the parks - the things like the Classic
Space hat that only LLCA has? What happens to those?
I would not mind seeing a new division within Lego to just run the parks - I
think THAT is what the problem is they seem to be forgotten (noting the NUMEROUS
broken parts within the attractions) and a division that has the sole
responsibility of keeping the parks up would be the way to go. There may be one
of them now, I am not sure - but if there is they need to do a better job.
I go to Legoland to go to LEGOland, not Legoland brought to you by Pepsi.
