New in-depth article/interview from Blooloop reveals new details and images:

At the time of writing, construction on around 50 percent of Legoland Korea Resort was complete.

“Most of the theme park proper will be finished by next summer,” says Ray Dubois. “Most of the landscaping will be in. All of the rides will be in. The last thing to be complete will be the hotel over the main entrance. We’ll probably end up doing the VIP tours in 2021, and the grand opening in 2022.”

The construction of a Legoland Hotel right over the main gate will be a Legoland first, creating an imposing welcome portal. Hotel guests will wake to views over Miniland. The same complex will also house the second iteration of the Lego Factory Adventure Ride, following its debut at Legoland New York.

Cementing Legoland’s Korea’s resort status in phase two will be a Legoland Water Park, although no timeline for the construction of this has yet been decided.

Land by land, here’s the other rides and manufacturers that will feature in the Legoland Korea opening line-up:

Bricktopia: Kids Power Towers (Sunkid Heege), Carousel (Bertazzon), Tea Cups (Sansei), Observation Tower (Sansei), Duplo Train.
Castle: Dragon Coaster (Zierer), Merlin’s Challenge (Mack Caterpillar), Magic Bikes (Zamperla), Horse Ride (Metallbau Emmelm).
Lego City: Driving School and Boating School (SB International), Rescue Academy and Legoland Express (Metallbau Emmeln), Jetski and Duplo Planes (Zierer).
Pirates Kingdom: Splash Battle (Mack), Captain Cranky’s Challenge (Zamperla Rockin’ Tug).
Ninjago Adventure: Ninjago The Ride (Triotech/ART Engineering).

Some rides will appear with different names by the time the park opens. In addition to the above, there will also be a selection of shows, theatres, retail, food & beverage and Lego play/construction opportunities.

As of this week Legoland is 49% compete as a whole and and rides specifically are 74% complete. The park plans to have construction entirely completed (excluding the hotel) by the end of June 2021. Lately the targeted opening date for the park was July 2021 but according to Legoland that could be delayed due to "testing, licensing, and parking issues."
