The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) just reported July 2012 as the hottest month previously observed in the US records from over the past 118 years. Central Florida has been blazing with summer heat and the temperature is still rising in the August sun. LEGOLAND Florida Water Park wanted to make sure their guests were extra refreshed from all this heat. So to cool things off, the park brought in a giant ice trailer packed with more than 4,000 pounds of chilly ice.


Lifeguards and guests spent the morning dumping bucket loads of refreshing ice into the massive LEGO® wave pool where they got to splish and splash through ice-capped waves for some beat the heat fun.


The all-new LEGOLAND Florida Water Park is a “park within a park,” where families and friends can cool off during a splash- filled day with “cool” attractions including Build-A-Raft River, where guests can build their own LEGO inner tubes and float down a 1,000-foot lazy river.


For the little ones, the DUPLO® Splash Safari is a toddler-haven with perfectly sized slides a zero- depth wading pool. Guests of all ages can play for hours at the Joker Soaker water playground, a riot of brightly colored ladders, levers, pumps and slides of every length and type. And a 583,000-gallon, crystal-clear wave pool and five slippery-fast water slides will thrill families all day long.
