Aujourd'hui le parc organisait une preview pour donner davantage de détails sur le parc et faire le point sur les travaux. La plupart des nouveautés avaient déjà été dévoilées il y a quelques mois. Il a encore été confirmé que les jardins ainsi que le spectacle de ski nautique seront conservés.
Des vidéos montrant les différentes zones du parc (avec des concept arts et des images d'autres parcs Legoland) sont désormais disponibles sur le site internet officlel. Le plan du parc a été dévoilé.
Les billets d'entrée sont par ailleurs déjà en vente sur le site: l'entrée est à 65 dollars pour les adultes et 55 dollars pour les enfants et seniors (taxes non incluses). Plusieurs formules de passeports annuels sont également disponibles. Le Pass Standard coûte 99 dollars. L'"Ambassador Pass" quant à lui coûte 2500 dollars et donne un accès illimité au parc à vie avec différents autres avantages (réductions en boutiques et restaurants, évènements spéciaux, ...). Ce sont des tarifs promotionnels, à l'ouverture les prix devraient être plus élevés.
