We stopped by LLCA on Sunday for the AP preview and rode the Knights Tournament ride, we did level 5 (the highest) and had a blast! Few early thoughts about this ride: - The line is SLOW MOVING and will probably be longer than the sky cruiser line. (...) (19 years ago, 16-May-05, to lugnet.legoland.california)

Hi everyone! It was a great weekend at Legoland. It was my son's first time. He's 5 and hasn't really been bitten by the LEGO bug. He loves Star Wars, so I thought this might be a good tie-in. It was! He's eat, sleeping and breathing LEGOs. The ISD (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.org.us.sandlug, lugnet.starwars)
