Ever since planning on a new Lego area commenced, many themes were considered, including Pirates, Chima, and even Racers, but ultimately, Legoland Florida found that it was lacking in a key target demographic: Girls 6-12. Because of this, work initially began on a princess themed extension to Lego Kingdoms, however when the Lego Friends brand was introduced and became a smashing success, plans were immediately modified to utilize this brand, while crosspromoting it various aspects such as the television program based upon it. The following expansion was a result of these changes and colaborations.
Heartlake City
In this world of Friendship, guests will have the ability to ride, shop, meet and view various aspects of the Lego Friends franchise, all in a way that has never been done before, and on a scale unparalleled by previous efforts at legoland. This mega land features three rides (a thrilling dark ride, a soothing boatride, and rapid Zamperla Pony Express coaster), two unique entertainment experiences (fountains and Big Concert), a unique meet and greet space, in addition to innovative shopping and dining experiences that can only be found at Legoland Florida.
Lego Friends Road Trip
Lego Friends Road Trip is the premier attraction in Heartlake City, utilizing high resolution projection technology, as well as high tech animatronics and a unique track layout. This will ultimately become the premier attraction at Legoland Florida, although some aspects have required lots of testing, that the priginal Kingdoms proposal covered.
Guests will enter an 20:1 scale model of a Lego Friends Vet Clinic set, with unique informational signs on real world pet safety. Once you have reached the back, you would be led to the first of three main queuing areas. This first one is themed around horses, as queue stantions are themed to veterinary stables full of lego version of favorite horse treats. Upon going up a ramp on the side of this room, guests would enter the cat and bird room, where a variety of lego bird animatronics sing in cages overhead, while cats doze in their crates. Once at the back of the Bird and Cat room, guests would enter a wooden hallway, where they would be directed to one of three preshow rooms.
Upon Entering, guests would encounter an animatronic Mia, based on her figure from the animated series. She would give a brief point on how we are about to take a road trip, alongside the Lego Friends to head into Heartlake Forest, to search for any animals injured animals due to a recent tornado. We will be sent in teams of 16 in specialized Vet Vans to go out and gather any injured animals.
Upon exiting, guests are held in the wildlife room, where signs of how to treat and help a wild animal are found. Also included are real stories, submitted to Legoland of people nursing wild animals back to health, with a Lego representation of the real person and animal. Upon heading to the back of the wildlife room, guests exit the pet clinic into a dark, covered boarding area akin to a porte-cochere, where guests Vet Vans await.
The ride begins as you approach a screen, where the friends are packing their van, saying that they will drive ahead and lead us out. We then pull forward as a physical form of the van drives alongside us, as they drive next to us using timing and props like Mater in Radiator springs racers. Soon, a tree blocks the Friends path, you are told to continue, and they will radio in.
You continue, as fallen trees designate your path into an elevator, where you are surrounded 270 degrees by a screen, where a motion base simulates guests riding a path until a cliff blacks our path, forcing the van to reverse briskly through a spooky forest before re-entering a new 270 elevator back up. Guests are now simulated to be going up a mountain path. We soon, get out and swereve on physical cliffs, before seeing a screen representation of a baby bear teetering on a rock. We hear Mia come over the radio saying to park while she coaxes the bear onto the roof and safety. The bears eems to jump, resulting the the cliff below you giving way, and revealing a drop track, as you drop 8 feet, revealing a maze of caves. You drive forward and meander through, as thumping is heard on your roof, before hitting a dead end. You move backward back into the forest, as you are stopped by a figue of emma. You hear chains on the roof, as Emma tells you that stephanie is in a Helicopter to take you back up to the clinic. As you lift up into a surround screen, you are sent back to the clinic. Before exiting, you see the baby bear nursed and bandaged smiling and waving at you.
Heartlake Boat Expeditions: Journey to Dolphin Cove
On this expedition, guests will be sent out on a cruise around Heart Lake and explore a mystical set of caves called Dolphin Cove. Guests will first board a boat seeming ro be made of legos at the right side of the lake, alongside their skipper in a boat configuration similar to that of the late JAWS: The Ride. Upon embraking out into the lake, their skipper informs them that they will be venturing into Dolphin Cove, but to get there, they must venture under the watersource for Heart Lake, Heartlake Falls. As your boat approaches the waterfall at full speed, it magically parts to allow dry passage. Upon entering the cave, guests will circle around a figure of Emma, telling us that she has been exploring the caves all day, but hasn't found Dolphin Cove, although she admits that she has not tried what the legend says that you must recite an incantation. Your skipper remarks, "I know it! It goes 'Sacred Grove, reveal a treasure trove, and whisk us away to dolphin cove" After encouraging the boat to say it, the walls of the cave come alive with fiber optics, as a rock moves out of the boat path, beckoning us. At first, we enter a narrow corridor as the rock shuts behind us. Now, a video screen of Emma lights a match which causes ambient lighting to appear. She beckons us forwards, as a fork in the river allows us to go to the left where we see a shimmering pile of treasure, or to the right where a dolphin sign points. The driver asks guests which way to go, just as a baby bear runs out from the treasure side screaming, causing Emma to take him back to the clinic, and tell us to go right. As we turn right, guests will enter a glittering cave full of fiber optics, and playful dolphins that might try to mist you. As you leave this spectacle through the waterfall from whence you came, a short cruise across Heart Lake brings you back to reality from the mysticism of Dolphin Cove.
Mia's Riding Adventure
This Zamplera Pony Express Launched Coaster situated against a berm and the walkway to heartlake city will take guests 44" in height and above on a rollicking launched journey through the horse practice course, going up down and around obstacles. The queue will route through Mia's stables with queue stantions reminiscent of horse pens with picket fences.
Lego Friends Big Concert
In this outdoor stage show, watch as the Lego Friends put on a Big Concert to give Andrea her big break, because it turns out that a big talent agent is in the park! The show begins as a "hot mic" catches the friends talking about the talent agent, and how they hope Andrea gets her break. They then sing an original song, "My Heart is in Heartlake", before they scour the audience for the talent scout. Eventually, the videotron feed gets interrupted as it turns out the talent scout has been watching over hidden cameras in the stage. Supposedly, he has liked it so far, but needs to hear a bit more. Now that the friends know that all is on the line, they go all out in a finale with fog jets and strobe light effects.
Heartlake Fountains
These enchanting fountains light up Heart Lake at night, with a short, but dazzling show to the Lego Friends theme song,mplayed once every half hour. During the day, the waters will occasionally spout to the tune of select songs in the background loop, when a Heartlake Boat Expedition Ride Vehicle is not passing through.
Lego Friends Meeting Outpost
This meet and greet with all five friends is set in a ranger outpost setting.
Pet Clinic Gifts
This "exit shop" for Lego Friends Road Trip is situated in the Dog Room of the clinic, full of zlego zoet themed merchandise and an exclusive Lego Friends Road Trip set, that guests can use to recreate the ride vehicles and other iconic scenes from the attraction.
