History Ride / Legoland

* ToylessToylineCharacter: Characters like Bertie and Calico Jade are neither seen in physical minifigure forms nor in any Lego sets.

The first park opened in 1968 in Billund, Denmark, followed by Windsor, England in 1996. Further parks opened in Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Dubai, and the United States (California, Florida and New York). Parks in South Korea and Shanghai are currently under construction.

LEGOLAND is a chain of theme parks owned and operated by British theme park company Merlin Entertainments. The parks are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what it says on the tin]]: theme parks focused entirely on the Franchise/{{LEGO}} brand.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Legoland California seems to have been built with this trope in mind. There's a dinosaur front and center in The Beginning, and about half a dozen dinosaurs surrounding the lake, working as construction workers.
** Downplayed in Legoland Windsor since the removal of "Dino Safari" and the retheming of "Dino Dipper" to "Merlin's Challenge". There has, however, been a large Technic dinosaur bursting out of a building that has outlasted several of the attractions contained within.

* BuiltWithLEGO: The parks are filled with hundreds of unique LEGO models and displays, some of which have brick counts reaching up to half a million! The Minilands are the self-proclaimed "Heart of Legoland", and feature extensive recreations of famous cities (as well as iconic ''Star Wars'' scenes) built entirely out of LEGO.

* ChristmasSpecial: LEGOLAND California and Florida have their own special Christmas events, complete with the lighting of a giant LEGO Christmas tree.

* TargetAudience: Interestingly enough, despite LEGO itself being aimed at all ages, LEGOLAND is largely built for and is aimed at children ages 2-12, with adults only being allowed if they're parents/guardians and have a child with them. Otherwise, they're barred from the park.

** "Bionicle Blaster", a tea cup ride in Legoland California themed to look like LEGO Technic pieces.
** "Knight's Tournament", a robot arm ride at Legoland California.
** "Aquazone Wave Racers" in Legoland California and Florida.

* TitleTheAdaptation: Lego Ninjago: The Ride.

* ToyTime: Many structures throughout the parks are designed to look as if they're made with giant Lego bricks.

* YouMustBeThisTallToRide: While of course this is in effect, this is also notably reversed in the case of a number of rides. Some, such as the Driving School, are based on age rather than height.
