That was true when the park opened, but they hired American Master
Builders shortly thereafter. How do I know? We had a presentation at
BricksWest by one of them.

There is a shop there where you can look in through a window and see
LEGO builders hard at work gluing bricks together.
This year's BricksWest was a bit of a debacle because LEGO forgot all
about it until they were reminded at almost the last minute, so many
of the things they might have done to make it special were canceled.
However, hopefully things will be different next year...
