This Twitter post - I've discovered it over on the Legoland Florida thread - confirms this will indeed go forward as initial plans suggested. So no Minecraft for Legoland Florida.

Main difference seems to be a different position of the helix in the south. Edit: It seems the master plan from back in 2021 already showed the current layout rather than that from shown concept art from 2022. Source via ThemeparX

It says in the permits the outdoors section would make up roughly a quarter of the track, so I didn't expect that much more, to be honest. The section before the first launch seems to be a dark ride section. If that's well executed, this could still turn out pretty solid. Edit: Concerning...

It doesn't draw in the crowds that California does. However, they have seen the biggest investment of any Legoland park in recent years (including world premieres for Lego Movie World and Peppa Pig Theme Park) so Merlin definitely sees some potential here. Given the popularity of the Minecraft...

Question is just: California or Florida?

Not the panel itself, but it seems nothing of interest was unveiled there.

So, Minecraft it is, it seems. Press Release containing images Any ideas on what and where the US attraction might be?

Isn't this literally the same speed and intensity as the Zierer Dragon coasters at the other LEGOLAND parks?

I'm pretty pleased. There's a lot of design elements they have never used (the studs on the rooflines and atticas, the green roofs, the 3d planks, the sculpted trees look amazing) and overall, there seems to be more variety in terms of typologies and room types than I had expected.

I'm pretty happy with what we get to see. My biggest concern was that it may not feel like a "massive" coaster with it being only four rows. Ride vehicles at Lost Gravity always feel way too short and light to feel substantial to me, it's almost as if they were sending you off in a wild mouse...

Looks slow.

It's Mack. And this is a 5 billion + dollar investment they are making here. I highly doubt they have to be cheap when choosing their trains.

So I guess that's confirmation for Zelda then. Why else would they have taken it down? That's huge news!

LEGOLAND Billund will receive a LEGO DUPLO PEPPA PIG area in 2024, while the currently under-construction Peppa Pig Park at the Legoland resort in Germany will also feature LEGO DUPLO PEPPA PIG theming. LEGO will also feature a line of Duplo Peppa Pig products. Merlin press release
