CARLSBAD, Calif. (March 21, 2010) –  Crews at LEGOLAND^Ò California are hard at work today installing the family raft slide for the world’s first LEGO^Ò themed water park opening in June. The family raft slide is just one of seven slides to be featured at LEGOLAND^Ò Water Park and is 11-feet wide and more than 300-feet long. 

The 5.5 acre Water Park is geared for families with young children and features several water slides including the family raft slide, enclosed tube slides and toddler slides, a zoo-themed water play area for toddlers and an interactive water play zone. The most unique feature is Build-A-Raft River where kids customize their own raft made of soft LEGO bricks before floating down a lazy river. More than 20 new LEGO models are being constructed for the Water Park including 6-foot-tall LEGO friends who will splash and spray water on guests throughout the Water Park.

The centerpiece of the Water Park is a 45-foot-tall tower designed to immerse children in the creative world of LEGO plus a splash tower that will countdown and pour hundreds of gallons of water over kids standing below it.

LEGOLANDWater Park is located at the north end of LEGOLAND California behind Fun Town and is a $10 upgrade from the standard LEGOLAND California admission. For more construction photos and information, visit www.LEGOLANDwaterpark.com.
