(URL) is a pretty decent introduction to AFOLs. Has some interesting quotes from Steve Witt, and mentions BrickFest. One downside: everybody is quoted as saying "Legos". >_< - Kelly (19 years ago, 29-Apr-06, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) The glory of fast-passes fix that for the more popular rides such as SM ;) But the rides at LLCA move slowww...www. They have very low per-hour capacity that brings everything to a very slow crawl. And it is only worse when LLCA cuts down on (...)

(...) Standing in line is not my idea of a fun vacation - especially with short attention span 4-12 year olds. If Legoland purposely cuts off attendance each day to insure small lines, charge a high gate fee, and can still make a profit, I think (...)

I think that a better spot in the midwest would be near the major population centers. That would be near the Great Lakes. I think an ideal location would be near Cedar Pointe Amusement Park near Sandusky Ohio on Lake Erie. It would be within a few (...)

(...) I think there is a good chance for it to succeed in the Kansas City area. If your target attendance is 1.4M a year (which the other 4 Legoland parks average), that is well within the realm of reason if you include everything within a day's (...)

(crossposting to .legoland) (...) To re-state what I posted on BL: I think these "tourism experts" need to find new jobs lol. LLCA has trouble getting people from as close as LA and SD to go to the park. The only reason out of towners go there is (...)

Exciting news for residents of the midwest United States! I read this in the 4/28/2006 Kansas City Star. "Joco" is the local shorthand for Johnson County KS: a very well-to-do, family oriented suburb on the western side of Kansas City,MO with (...)

(...) Yes, probably taken down due to a little 'backlash' from the masses-- (URL) that was just a site I found right off the bat! I will always endeavour to type 'LEGO bricks' and say the same. However, I will not tell people that they're making (...) (19 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) Oops, just realized that www.legos.com simply redirects to the correct website now. For those of you unaware, at one point, the incorrect URL resulted in a site with a bit of a "brand speech" (i.e. how to use the LEGO name properly) before (...) (19 years ago, 24-Apr-06, to lugnet.mediawatch)
