I think on their (LLCA's) best day more people are standing in line for

But hey - if they have a promobrick program then it can't be all that bad ;)

I'd rather go to an amusement park where I wasn't standing in line for hours.
Standing in line is not my idea of a fun vacation - especially with short
attention span 4-12 year olds.

The glory of fast-passes fix that for the more popular rides such as SM ;)

But the rides at LLCA move slowwwwwwwwww. 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 the number of workers staffing the rides and/or not even running all the
already-slow cars (think the new dragon ride that only has half of it open even
at most of the "busy" times)

If Legoland purposely cuts off attendance each day to insure small lines, charge
a high gate fee, and can still make a profit,

But they do not cut off attendance and I (would hope) the high ticket cost is
because of the expense of the area - but I have no idea why it is so highly
priced.

I heard once that LLCA was struggling financially, so
maybe the model needs some fine tuning - and maybe the new operators have
already tuned it enough where they have confidence in opening a new LL in Kansas
City.

They said the talks were on before the buyout with TLC. But yes, they would have
to have confidence to open a new park wherever it may be.

Don't worry though - I'll make sure to get you some promobricks when it opens :)
(nice website btw)

Thanks :)

Legoland KC is supposed to be presented to the Olathe City council tonight. It looks good except the current plan has tax payers paying 2/3 the cost. I don't think people will be real excited about putting up this amount. This has been discussed on (...)
