...but I would say you either need to leave at 7:30 from Mel's and get your
roller coaster "fix" or try to convince Paramount to set up a Lego Company
Outlet in the park, or try to convince Lego to set up a Legoland Theme Park

....those solutions, with exception of leaving early aren't really realistic...
about as realistic as getting your company (Ventax) to set up a roller
coaster at their plant so you can get your "fix" daily... oh it is soooooo
nice to
dreamm... :)
