Fans of last year’s The Lego Movie will be pleased to learn that they’ll soon be able to experience the animated movie in a whole new way at Legoland parks.
The parent company of the Legoland parks and Discovery Centers, Merlin Entertainments, announced yesterday a partnership with Warner Bros. and The LEGO Group to bring a new 4D animated film based on the popular characters of The Lego Movie, Legoland parks and Discovery Centers around the world later in 2015.
The new 4D animated film will open exclusively at the six Legoland parks and 11 Legoland Discovery Centers in North America, Asia and Europe.
Using elements such as wind, water, smoke and special lighting effects, the larger-than-life experience brings the film’s main characters, Emmet and Wyldstyle, back together with their friends for another awesome adventure.
“We’re excited to be partnering with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and The LEGO Group on such a, dare I say, awesome, adventure,” says Merlin Entertainments Chief Executive Officer Nick Varney.
“Emmet and Wyldstyle have become immensely popular at our theme parks and Discovery Centers across the globe and bringing this new 4D movie exclusively to our guests continues our Merlin philosophy of creating memorable family experiences.”
“More than a film, The LEGO Movie became an anthem for creative building, inspiring families around the world to pull their LEGO collections out and piece together their imaginations,” says Jill Wilfert, vice president licensing & entertainment for the LEGO Group. “I know that LEGOLAND guests are going to love seeing these characters in a fun, new adventure.”

The Lego Movie was one of my favorite films of 2014, so I hope this is just the beginning of Legoland’s incorporation of the movie franchise into the parks. I’d love to see a more complex dark ride-style attraction in the future.
