Legoland Daytona Speedway
My 8-year old grandson, Connor has been on a Florida trip this week with his parents. He excitedly sent me this cell phone photo from Legoland in Winter Haven of a Lego replica of Daytona Speedway with a note that he knew I would like this. Legoland in Winter Haven, FL is on the site of the former Cypress Gardens attraction. I've been trying to find The Legend's motorhome in the infield when I blow up the photo!
Now THAT is really cool. We took our son to the San Diego area LEGOLand about 13 or 14 years ago. He had a great time - and I remember being stunned by the size and scale of many of the city scapes built at the park. His bedroom is still full wall-to-wall with LEGO sets. I'm not sure he lets his college buds know he still has all of them. But I'm willing to bet more than one of them is keeping that sort of secret to themselves. Three years ago, I stumbled across a tech newsletter that included pics from a LEGO convention. Someone built a LEGO replica of the Brickyard that was equally impressive. http://bench-racing.blogspot.com/2010/07/brickyard-in-lego-bricks.html
