Legoland: its Lego-cy “in” Rockland

July 21, 2021 by helpdesk1

Now that Legoland theme park is fully open in Orange County, is there a large ratable that can come to Rockland and make a go of it? There’s concern over future development at Letchworth in North Rockland, the fate of the HNA property in Orangetown is of concern, as is the former Nyack College in Nyack, and the old Novartis site in Ramapo. While Legoland was unique among other potential development projects and would have been difficult to even construct, there are still some who would have loved to have had it here in the county, including Rockland Business Association CEO Al Samuels…

Haverstraw had proposed the theme park move to its giant piece of Letchworth Village, but supervisor Howard Phillips said residents there just didn’t want it…

Rockland state senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick says ultimately the Haverstraw site just wasn’t the right fit for that level of tourism, or its construction…

The prospect of putting it at the Novartis site in Ramapo was floated by the previous supervisor, and current supervisor Michael Specht says at the very least it would have provided lots of jobs…

New York Assemblyman Karl Brabenec’s district is right up against Goshen where Legoland is located, and he says traffic could be an issue, but overall, it’ll have a positive effect on the region…

At their grand, full opening earlier this month, Governor Andrew Cuomo reminisced about playing with Legos as a kid…

Merlin Entertainment’s $500 million park opened fully July 9th. The hotel is expected to open early next month.
