Ya, thats the place, here is a pic of it when it was closed:

It is the place under the yellow overhang. The quickest way to it is when
you enter the park go to your right, go to the back of miniland, cutting by
the coast cruise and its over that direction. I have a map of LL scanned
(pre-technic ride - which is in the back right part of the park) in my
brickshelf account if you are not familiar with the area.
