"One day after Olathe officials rejected a proposed deal to build Legoland and other attractions in the north part of the city, both the city and developers said they were willing to continue (...)

| What about the other amusement parks in the kansas city area? both past and present? Like Jeepers, Fairyland, and Worlds Of Fun.? Why does anyone think having Legoland on the door would make it work? What about Worlds of fun? (18 years ago, 17-Aug-06, to lugnet.loc.us.ks, lugnet.loc.us.mo, lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.legoland)

I agree with you, but as long as Legoland is not owned by Lego, it is an amusement park like any other, and developers are going to use it as the draw for retail, hotels, other tourism, etc. and since it will increace the tax base enormously, (...)

|
| My whole take on this is that it is NOT Lego driven, but developer driven. If it goes thru, then the taxpayers of Kansas will be paying for this. But if it fails in the end, it could affect the reputation of Lego... the product. I am leary about (...)

| Legoland KC is supposed to be presented to the Olathe City council tonight. It looks good except the current plan has tax payers paying 2/3 the cost. I don't think people will be real excited about putting up this amount. This has been discussed on (...)
