If I remember correctly I believe this area is supposed to be in St. Augustine, Florida. There's a whole section dedicated to Florida landmarks and stuff.

News scout Horry found this great photograph of the underwater shipwreck on display at Legoland Florida.

Hehe. Nice one 
I've used to work on a similar ship like that, called "Odyssey Explorer".
Everyones hates them
- the crew - cause they sail around the same spot all the time and they pitch all the time, especially that they usually operate on the rough sea.
- passing ships - since they have to be carefull about sonars these ships haul
This wreck seems to be in a very good condition for 400 years
Are these scubadivers ( and shark ) floating? or are they tied to the "ocean floor"?

That is a very cool scene there. The water wouldn't ruin the bricks, would it?

Was wondering the the same thing. I used to "bath" my Legos all the time when I was small and nothing happened... well but I didn't expose them 24h a day Here it could do some damage I guess. But it's also possible that they'he used a different kind of plastic. Maybe it's not even Lego that we see in this scene?

Yeah I used to bring my Lego into the tub as well, but yes, not like this. I would think maybe the color would wear off? But even if it did, it would just add to the effect of the shipwreck.

The main problem is sunlight. Exposure to UV rays causes the plastic to fade. Models in the parks are coated with a UV protective spray before going on display but even so they bricks must be replaced after a certain number of years.

Uhm no, the colour cannot "wear off". The ABS plastic is solid colour. If you sliced the bricks open the middle would still be red or blue or whatever the colour is on the surface if the brick. I read some where that LEGO is also safe for aquariums with fish as the plastic does not break down in water.

UV rays are worth it, especially if you've seen a Miniland display like this in person!

They use the same varnish as on cars, they coat all the models with it, so that they can handle all weather conditions.
In Denmark, they take all the models in, and re-coat them, becuase they are closed during the winter season............
But as far as i know. It dosent snow in florida......
In THE Legoland park in Denmark. Its the same models. Same bricks, as it was 50 years ago.....

I wonder who gave you that info, as Legoland employees in Denmark told our group during the EB event that the models were re-coated after five years and fully replaced after ten. Besides that it is the sunlight that does the most damage, not snow or rain.
I think you have some misinformation, sorry.
Why do you need TLC to make sets for you, all you really need is parts...be creative!

Well some Legoland employees game my lug that info.
and yes i know the sunlight is also a devastateing foe.
But the thing i dont understand is. In DK they re-coat it every year.
So why where you told they only do it each fifth year???
Everything but what ii said about its been there for fifty years.
Legoland told us.
That last thing, someone in my lug told me.....dont know if its true. but still......

This is a really awesome scene. I've always loved underwater sets and scenes, so this is probably one of my favorites.
