Legoland New York


Legoland New York is a theme park currently under construction in Goshen, New York, based on the Lego toy brand. The resort is scheduled to open during early 2021 at a cost of $350 million. Upon opening, it will become the ninth Legoland park, and the third located in the United States, following Legoland California, and Legoland Florida. The park is owned by Merlin Entertainments.

History

Proposals for a third Legoland location in the United States began in 2016, with Merlin Entertainments proposing to construct a resort in the town of Goshen, New York due to its close proximity to New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia. On October 19, 2017, the Town of Goshen approved plans for the park and six days later on October 25, 2017, Merlin Entertainments officially announced Legoland New York, a 520-acre theme park and 250-room Legoland hotel. Construction started soon afterward. In late 2019, it was announced that the resort was scheduled to open on July 4, 2020, to coincide with Independence Day. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic in New York in 2020, construction on the project was halted, and a new opening time period of early 2021 was announced.

Park layout and attractions

The park will include seven themed areas commonly found at existing Legoland parks. There will be 50 attractions and over 30 million Lego bricks in the park. The park itself will cover over and will be the world's largest Legoland park upon opening.
