The section, scheduled to open July 3, will include an interactive water ride called The Quest for Chi, a Lego-building challenge, a 4D movie and a meet-and-greet with costumed characters.

Legoland also has a Carlsbad, California, outpost and in April, opened a 250-room Legoland hotel there. Visitors are greeted by a fire-breathing dragon made of 400,000 Lego bricks. Guest rooms are decorated in pirate, adventure or kingdom themes, and most items in the rooms appear as if they are built of Legos.

Not to be outdone by Florida, California's theme parks also have new offerings - mostly thrill rides.

At Disneyland, the new Fantasy Faire offers all of the Disney Princesses in one place - the intricately detailed Royal Hall. Also at Disneyland, "Mickey and the Magical Map" is the new show at the Fantasyland Theater this summer.

Great America in Santa Clara will have the Gold Striker, a wooden coaster that soars to 108 feet at 54 mph, opening this summer.
