Rope Drop: Legoland welcomes its summer festival
As the "rope drop" starts a day at theme parks, the Sunday "Rope Drop" post kicks off the week here at Theme Park Insider. Here is what lies ahead for fans at the parks this week.
Well, we're not getting that promised Montezooma media preview on Monday. But fans looking for something fresh can head down the 5 to Carlsbad, where the 2026 Lego Festival is kicking off at Legoland California. The event is also opening Monday at Legoland Florida. This year's Lego Festival runs through August 16 in Florida and August 30 in California.
On Thursday, Comcast hosts its first quarterly earnings call since announcing the NBCUniversal split. We'll see how the parks have been doing this spring and early summer vacation season, too.
