| | Re: Carlsbad still crowded?
|
|
It did happen. Legoland did have to close for about two hours last week because the park had reached capacity of 15,000. The weather here in Southern CA has been rather crappy(lots of rain and clouds) for those on spring break and that was the only (...)

Is the ba-lego mailing list still operational? It has some functionality, because it properly forwarded to this board a message I sent to the mailing list, but I never received a mailed copy of the message. Does anyone know the status on the list? (...) (25 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

|

I have heard that the LEGOLAND Store doesn't have the Star Wars models either, and S@H is quoting that they don't expect to have any until May sometime. This sure lends credence to the rumor that the models were released too early, and that they (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

There were radio reports earlier this week that people were being turned away from the park because of crowding. I have this second hand. Didn't hear the report myself. John C (25 years ago, 10-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sd, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.general)

Hi Raymond, Did you take any pictures in the park? Are you going to scan and post any of them? Can we point to your pictures from BayLUG.org? (Would you care to have them hosted on the baylug site? Do you want to put your LEGO page(s) there? Where (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Like I said in my earlier blurbs, I shot a fair bit of video at the park, and a bit more at the LEGOfest afterwards.
