With the announced development of a $15 million Legoland to be installed alongside a planned aquarium and already existing Crayola Cafe, Kansas City's Crown Center is now only two Oompa Loompas away from rivaling the Wonka Chocolate Factory as a children's wonderland.
The family-friendly theme park will be just the fourth of its kind in the United States, including Lego-building classes and Lego rides, and a lot of other normal things that are way more fun in interlocking plastic block form.
The construction, scheduled for completion in 2012, will finally give Kansas City something in common with Billund, Denmark; Windsor, England; and Gunzburg, Germany -- cities we've totally been chasing in cultural development for years now.
I keep Googling for "freak accident," "death" and "Legoland Deutschland," just because I figured the images would be funny, but, sadly, so far the parks appear to be very safe. Damn.
