The ride is a combination of 3-D computer animation, moving cars, special 4-D effects and innovative technology that hasn't been seen outside the chain of Legoland parks.  This scale model of the area was so revealed during the opening date announcement, showing off the entire new land in Lego bricks.

Four riders will be seated in each individual car as it heads through a mix of physical sets and 3-D screens.  Rider are able to interact with the film on the screen and score points using hand gestures, which is the special technology currently only at Legoland parks.  Riders will blast "fireballs, lightning and more" at different bad guys throughout the ride.

The greater Legoland Florida Resort is also proud to announced that it has created $1 billion in economic activity for the around it since 2010 when construction on the park started.  While they've achieved so much success already, the park is also currently working on an entire second resort (Legoland Beach Resort) that will open next summer.  Congratulations to the park on their success, and here's to many more years of it.
