A Guide to Legoland's Newest Additions

It should come as no surprise that Legoland is constantly building something. This May, Legoland California Resort in Carlsbad, Calif., will unveil its latest addition: Ninjago Land. Based on the popular Cartoon Network show, Ninjago Land will allow children to become ninjas-in-training through interactive experiences that test their agility and physical skills. The new area will also debut at Legoland Florida Resort next year and feature international cuisine, such as a Vietnamese sandwich shop.

The main focus of this new land will be Ninjago The Ride, where guests wield the superpowers of main characters Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane through Triotech’s Maestro hand gesture technology. The attraction is the first in the world to utilize this technology, which registers kids’ hand movements via a panel on the lap bar as they blast animated shock waves and fireballs to collect points. The 4-D ride also employs heat, smoke and wind effects, in addition to 3-D imagery.
