I’ve had a dozen or so people tell me at our current LTC show in San Diego
that “LEGOLAND is closing, TLC is quitting business, etc.”. Today, even my
very competent boss told me that LLCA was closing and he gave me his source.
A “Marketplace” segment on NPR. I tracked it down
(http://marketplace.publicradio.org/shows/2004/11/29/PM200411296.html),
and sure enough, that’s EXACTLY what the story said -- in the voice over
introduction. I downloaded the whole thing and the actual story just
mentioned the intent to sell and was a lovely story on the joy of
construction toys in general and LEGO in particular.
FYI: This is how rumors get started.
(BTW: I sent Marketplace a comment suggesting they correct the web post.)

A correction was aired on the show about a week ago with the deepest
apologies of Marketplace. I guess LEGO is just looking for an outside company
to run/manage the parks. Marketplace confirmed that there is no plan from the
LEGO Company to close the parks.

Too bad I couldn’t likely convince EDS to take over the management and make me a
sys admin out there... that’d be schwing...
