  • We visit LEGOLAND New York so you don't have to. I give a tour of the park and show what to expect when you visit. In short, it's an overpriced, overcrowded park that is only saved by the charm of the LEGO branding.

    I went to LEGOLAND California as a kid. Even then, I realized that the rides were not the reason to go, it was all the other attractions and to see all the amazing LEGO builds. I absolutely loved the LEGO cities they had built.

    We took our twins to LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, California a couple of times (we live near San Francisco). We went mostly for the attractions and to see all of the amazing builds. We only went on one minor small roller coaster. I agree with a number of the comments for this vid … if it’s “rides” you want … go to a Six Flags or a Disney resort!

  • @connielovesnycnewyork4851

    I had a wonderful experience in Legoland in New York. We were there early on a Friday and Saturday and didn’t have to wait longer than 5-10 minutes. Most of the time, it was less than 10 minutes. The longest we had to wait was 15 minutes.

  • @jackwainfantasyfootballadv7355

    I went to LEGOLAND California around 4 years ago. The rides were pretty garbage (besides the dragon coaster). The lines were decently long but not as bad as it was for you. But the aesthetics of the park were outstanding. All of the Lego details, builds, and especially Miniland were truly amazing and made the visit worthwhile for me

    I just took my two boys 4 and 7 last weekend. We had an amazing 2 days there. It is unfortunate you didn't make your trip about your son but about you and what you were willing to do. I was there for my children not me, so I waited in every single line some twice for the sake of the enjoyment of my children not I. I also spared no expense on food drinks and treats without complaining. Yes things were expensive but what would you expect at an amusement park? I'd be interested in hearing an interview of your son and his perspective since it is geared towards children.

    Greg have you or your wife been out of your house in the last 10 yrs? These are normal prices for any amusement park. Lines for rides? This is a brand new amusement park and open after people were locked in their houses for a year! What did you expect? Have you ever been to Disney, Great Adventure, or anywhere else? This is normal! You are acting like 2 babies the way you are complaining. The place looks amazing, plan on taking my daughter who is 11 with some friends so they can enjoy the place and enjoy the LEGO builds.

  • @mikemcdonaldart
    @mikemcdonaldart Před 2 lety

    I was there last week, did the 2-night Vacation Package at the hotel with park tickets. Had the same thoughts as you, the wait times were rough (some rides even had posted wait times of over an hour), it seemed crowded and understaffed. I think you actually had more open options available then when I was there. During my visit the DJ’s Dizzy Disco Spin was closed, along with Dragon Jr and Fire Academy, and many food vendors were closed.
    The park and hotel both seem understaffed, which means lots of things aren't open, when then means longer lines at the stuff that is open.
    The big let-down at the hotel is that the pool still isn't open, despite still being listed as one of the amenities.
    Overall I hope this is just a rough start for a new resort that can and will improve in the coming months/seasons. Despite being disappointed I would still like to try it again in the fall or next spring when the weather isn't so hot and hopefully when the crowds are a bit lighter.
    I also hope the park will expand and add more rides and attractions to help spread out the crowds.

    You're not hating. Most theme parks have short waits for kid rides. But this doesn't seem like it's a traditional park with coasters.

    well right through the gate you made a critical error. You never do the rides in the front of the park first. Literally everyone piles into the lines there. While you waited and got frustrated in the front, there were zero lines in the back. Make the journey past all the stuff and scoot ahead of the crowds. Ride and experience things further back and make your way back to the front when the crowds have thinned out.
