(...) Everything the City Council is asking for seems quite reasonable. If Legoland can't make it work, then maybe it just wasn't meant to be there. (18 years ago, 17-Aug-06, to lugnet.loc.us.ks, lugnet.loc.us.mo, lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.legoland)

What about the other amusement parks in the kansas city area? both past and present? Like Jeepers, Fairyland, and Worlds Of Fun.? Why does anyone think having Legoland on the door would make it work?

I agree with you, but as long as Legoland is not owned by Lego, it is an amusement park like any other, and developers are going to use it as the draw for retail, hotels, other tourism, etc. and since it will increace the tax base enormously, (...)

My whole take on this is that it is NOT Lego driven, but developer driven. If it goes thru, then the taxpayers of Kansas will be paying for this. But if it fails in the end, it could affect the reputation of Lego... the product. I am leary about (...)
