When you are driving into the park, after that annoying roundabout thingie, they spell out "EMOCLEW".. I know they mean "WELCOME" but they put the letters backwards, the "W" is closest to the parking toll people, when it is the last letter you (...)

(...) Is it like ECNALUBMA (ambulance), for reading it in your car's rear-view mirror? -Suz (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.legoland.california)

(...) Kinda...but spread out. You drive down this road and you encounter a big E, then a few hundred feet later a big M, a big O...etc etc. It basically spells WELCOME backwards, one letter at a time. I really think it was some sort of mistake... (...) (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.legoland.california)

(...) Exactly - If I am not mistaken the letters on an ambulance are backwards and reversed (ya??. They just put the letters in the wrong order. I am surprised this slipped by them, with all the detail that the entire park has. Tom (23 years ago, 10-Aug-01, to lugnet.legoland.california)

(...) Ever since Legoland opened in Carlsbad, I too have wondered about the letters along the driveway. But, it's NOT as simple as "welcome" spelled backwards. As you drive in, the letters appear in the order: LECOMEW. I don't know if this was just (...) (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.legoland.california)

(...) Legoland Windsor has a similar installation, which reminded me of this discussion. But, if you look closely, you can see that each letter is either on a trolley, loaded on a ballista or catapult, or in some sort of transport mechanism. I (...)

(...) When I went to Legoland CA yesterday, I took a very close look at the letters in question, and no, they are not mounted on any sort of transportation device. The MC at the entrance had no idea why the letters where installed that way. The (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.legoland.windsor)

(...) So there's no second lot of letters anywhere at the park end of the drive, like there is at Windsor? Is there some point from which you're supposed to view the scattered ones then to get the message? Jason J Railton (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.legoland.windsor)

(...) For LL CA there is a long street/driveway leading to the parking lot toll boths. The letters are along this path. When you reach the parking lot toll boths, there is a big wall, near the passenger pick up / drop off point, that spells out (...)

I spoke to a Master Builder at LLCA about a month ago and I asked him about this. The letters are simply put in a random order so kids have to try to figure out what it spells and then, of course, you see what they spell once you get to the booths. (...)

(...) That seems like an "oops, what can we tell them" type of answer - other than being backwards, only two letters are switched, ya? I still think they messed up, I have been asking for a very long time and have got one of two answers: 1. "Are (...) (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.legoland.windsor)

if you ask some of the park employees why they stopped making mickey mouse legos you'll probably get a "They used to make mickey mouse legos?" my point is that you can't depend on everyone on staff to know everything that goes on inside the park or (...)
