Legoland Windsor Resort have today been granted planning permission for their Long Term Development Plan, paving the way for eight projects at the Resort.

The approved plans will see a total of eight projects undertaken at the Resort. One of these, the Haunted House, has already been completed with the attraction having gained permission via a separate planning application submitted in March 2018. The remaining seven projects include plans for three ‘attraction zones’ which will feature a new indoor attraction – referred to in some documents as a potential rollercoaster, and two fairground style rides. With Legoland Resort Florida recently opening Lego Movie World, could these ‘attractions zones’ indicate where Windsor’s LEGO Movie World will be located?

‘The Beginning’ area of the Resort will receive a major refresh under the plans, including a 10m high, LEGOLAND Windsor entrance portal, and an extension to the ticket sales and collections building and the guest toilets. The Big Shop will also receive an expansion. The largest development will include both lodge accommodation and ‘Lego Barrels’, similar to those seen in Legoland Deutschland, with a building housing a reception area, restaurant, shop, and entertainment facilities for the new accommodation. A number of infrastructure projects also feature, with a reconfiguration of the car parks, and a change of use for the St Leonards Farm to be used for back of house facilities.

Just as Universal Orlando is wrapping up construction of the new Hagrid's coaster another coaster's construction is beginning for the Jurassic area of Islands of Adventure. (Note I miss labeled footers on the video. Its just utility underground infrastructure.) This new coaster will be a multi launch with inversions and maybe be ready to open in 2020.

In an effort of large growth, Resorts World Sentosa will be doing a major period of growth for Universal Studios Singapore, consisting of Despicable Me and Nintendo coming to the region.
