Following consultations last October, Legoland have revealed details of a £95 million investment over the next 10 years.

As reported on SouthParks, the plans include the construction of the planned Haunted House attraction in either 2019 or 2021, plus the addition of a holiday village and improvements to parking at the Resort.

As reported on SouthParks, the Haunted House is now set to be built in either 2019 or 2021 as part of the Resort's 10 year plan.

It's good to see that the Resort have decided to proceed with this attraction as it is something that will add hugely to Legoland's line-up, not to mention provide another indoor attraction, something which is always a plus in the UK given the amount of wet weather we have! I expect there may be some small changes to the plans, but I'm excited to see this finally go ahead after the fights the Resort have had to get permission for it.

Legoland desperately needs some high capacity attractions. Ninjago will help relieve the pressure on laser raiders and other major attractions. You shouldn't have to queue 70 mins for a log flume!

It appears LEGO: NINJAGO The Ride will be an add-on attraction to the park's Q-BOT system.

It also seems like ride vehicles have arrived on site Image

Ninjago World has opened today, featuring Lego Ninjago: The Ride. Not much has really been done to celebrate, but queues have supposedly been approximately 90 minutes.

I wonder what impact, if any, this will have on Laser Raiders.

The park map has finally updated to include ninjago world (however the app still has the 2016 version). Link- https://endpoint914114.azureedge.net/gl ... e-2017.pdf

Legoland have submitted a hybrid planning application for eight different projects, including a potential new coaster in 2019, new holiday village, and an attraction on the Haunted House site. SouthParks News details all the proposed developments.

These are certainly some interesting proposals from Legoland and I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what the new attractions could be, especially with hints of a coaster.

Its always great to see things like this going into the planning departments. I am particularly interested in the 'Barrels' accommodation. I wonder what the price will be on these. Hopefully they will be cheap considering its literally just beds.
