They have now launched the website for the new Legoland. There is not much on in yet but there is some press and things like that.

Screamscape said:Legoland Florida held a presentation yesterday to talk about the new park in more detail as well as to point out that the new park will be ready to open in just one short year… in October 2011. The 150 acre park will feature 10 lands when it opens: The Beginning, Fun Town, Miniland USA, Castle Hill, Land of Adventure, Xtreme, LEGO City, Imagination Zone, Pirate Cove and DUPLO Village. They’ve also begun advance sales of tickets and passes at a discount rate, as well as a lifetime pass for a whopping $2,500. Videos showcasing each of the lands have already been posted to the official website, though some sections of the site were not quite working right when I visited, so it’s still a work in progress.
Lets take a better look at the planned attractions for this park. The Beginning is really just the main gate area with shops, no rides to see here. Fun Town will feature more stores, a “Factory Tour” attraction about how Lego bricks are made and the Fun Town Theater, a 4-D theater that will feature four different 4-D films throughout the day with seating for 700.
Miniland USA, a focal point of every Legoland park, will feature mini recreations of Florida landmarks as well as Las Vegas, Washington DC, New York City and a Pirate themed section, all made from thousands of tiny bricks.
Castle Hill, the medieval section of the park, will feature The Dragon coaster, an indoor/outdoor kid friendly ride as well as The Royal Joust ride.
Land of Adventures will be located around the existing kid friendly wooden coaster which will be rethemed as Coastersaurus. It will also feature the Lost Kingdom Adventure shoot’em up dark ride, Pharaoh’s Revenge (foam ball attraction) and the Beatle Bounce (a pair of kiddie tower rides).
Xtreme will have the Lego Technic Test Track coaster (Wild Mouse style) and Aquazone Wave Racers (a seriously fun and wet flat ride I loved at the California park),
LEGO City is where kids get to practice being grown up at the Fun Town Fire Academy (a fun interactive group ride experience), Driving School, Junior Driving School, Flight School and The Big Test show.
Imagination Zone will feature Lego themed video games, playtime with real Lego bricks, and the Kid Power Towers, a sort of self propelled drop tower ride, except you drop very slowly.
From the description of Pirate’s Cove, this is simply the theme of the new Waterski Show and will not have any Pirate themed rides or attractions here other than the show.
Finally we’ve got DUPLO Village… a kiddieland inside a kiddie park, where even the youngest of toddlers can have some playtime on special rides and attractions downsized just for them.
Xtreme will have the Lego Technic Test Track coaster (Wild Mouse style)
