Definately going to have to check this out... and maybe see the real thing on the way back.

Also the Captain Cranky's ride might signal the return of pirates?

Pirate Shores is doing very well a Legoland California. It is very much a water themed area, with Splash Battle, a water pump boat cruise, a huge out-door play pen with big bursts of water, a small unimpressive log ride, and an arcade of pay to play side show booths. They sell swim wear and towels there, and during December's heat wave, the place was full of screaming wet kids. The decorative sculptures are great too, including the first rear view male nude I've seen in the park, as a pirate gets caught taking his bath. Problem is Legoland is independent from Lego. Legoland ca has released a pirate and parrot sculpture set for the theme park tho.

Hey its Gary McIntire! He is the president of ULUG (UTAH LUG) of which I am a member. He is a fantasic builder. He got the job and subsquently has been there the past couple months at Legoland CA and still has a few more to go. He used to work for Dan Parker out of Seattle who is one of those guys who builds professionally with LEGO. Its great to hear about his progress and to see him mentioned in an article about it. I will have to pass this along to the other club members. Thanks for the find.
