Legoland Florida has broken a world record for the most beach balls in the air at one time.
They had more than 1,000 balls in the air at one time. The final total reached 1,355 balls simultaneously in the air, smashing the previous record of 401 beach balls.
The next step, to make it official, is to file it with the Guiness Book of World records. Guinness auditors will evaluate the attempt for authentication over the next several weeks.
The first 400 guests to the park received free admission and a beach ball. Beginning at around 10am this morning, the balls went airborne.
It was also a chance for guests to get a sneak peek at the new water park that officially opens to the public Saturday May 26.
The new addition to Legoland Florida will include:
- Build-A-Raft River - Families can imagine, design and build a unique LEGO vessel and set afloat on a maiden voyage around the 1000-foot-long lazy river, set amongst playful LEGO Friends, flowering vegetation and palm trees
- Twin Chasers – Friends ride tubes 375 feet down an intertwining pair of enclosed water slides before plunging into a refreshing pool below
- Splash Out – The thrill seekers of the family can ascend to the tallest point of the water park attraction and choose from one of three unique slides, then speed down a 60-foot drop and “splash out” into the water below
- Joker Soaker - A fun, interactive playground with various lengths, heights and types of slides that offer something different for every member of the family. Guests can wade in the surrounding pool and be surprised with a torrential spill from a 300-gallon bucket
- DUPLO Splash Safari – Toddlers will rule at this water play area with shorter slides and interactive, larger-than-life DUPLO creatures
