Now that California Governor Gavin Newsom says theme parks may reopen in Phase Three, Legoland has just proposed its reopening date.
The theme park located in Carlsbad, California is hoping to reopen on July 1st.
UPDATE (5/22) 8:45 PM CT: According to the Orlando Sentinel, the governor’s office clarified that “the only major theme park to receive approval to reopen on Friday was Universal Studios in Orlando.” Legoland had already sent out a news release of the park’s reopening, but a reporter followed up to clarify that the decision had not yet been approved. We will keep you updated when the governor officially approves Legoland’s reopening.
While yesterday we informed you Legoland Florida had received initial approval to reopen June 1st, Governor Ron DeSantis has now given the Winter Haven City-based theme park the green light.
Legoland has officially announced it will be reopening its Central Florida location in just over a week.
While last night we learned Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings had given Universal Studios Orlando’s reopening plan for its theme parks the green light, several smaller attractions have also been approved. We shared that a few of these locations are hoping to open THIS weekend just yesterday.
Since Demings approved the plans for thirteen other Central Florida attractions, they will now go to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ office for his acceptance.
The full Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force met today to discuss and review plans submitted by several smaller Orlando attractions, including Gatorland and Fun Spot. It was at this meeting today that we also learned of Universal Orlando’s proposed soft preview reopening of June 1 for team members, with a public reopening on June 5.
But many smaller attractions are looking to open sooner than that, with some attractions hoping to welcome back guests within the coming days.
We have been following the status of the major theme parks in Orlando including Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld as they are all currently closed until further notice in light of the current global situation.
We are also watching other area attractions to follow their plans for reopening, and today information has been shared for another popular theme park located in Winter Haven, Florida: Legoland. [Read more…]
