LEGOLAND FLORIDA Legoland Florida opened to the public on
October 15, 2011 on the grounds of the former Cypress Gardens. There are 5 machines;
all are hand-crank machines with 4 dies each. All 5 machines are outdoors.
They each take the standard 2 quarters and one penny. Cashiers in the stores
and restaurants are not permitted to give change without a purchase, so plan
accordingly and bring your own coins. Guest Relations was helpful in changing
a few dollars worth of quarters. The
machines are numbered according to their proximity to the front entrance. Legoland is divided into many lands. All the stores are
marked on the Legoland guide map, so you should be
able to find these buildings with ease. All designs are horizontal. Legoland does not sell books to keep the
pennies. |

Machine 2 is located
outside the Minifigure Market in Fun Town. The
designs are Cypress Gardens, 4 Lego figure heads, carousel horse, and Duplo. Be careful at this machine – it is positioned over
a drainage grate, and if the penny shoots out the bin there is a chance it
will disappear into the grate. |
