LEGOLAND California has broken ground on yet two more attractions commemorating the family theme park�s fifth birthday. Dino Island is set to open April 2. Travel to a time when only dinosaurs roamed the earth as you climb aboard Coastersaurus. Reaching speeds of more than 20 miles per hour, this roller coaster climbs, curves and dips around a prehistoric jungle of animated and life-sized LEGO� brick dinosaurs. An 1,100-pound Brachiosaurus peers at you as it takes a dip in a pond while a ten-foot tall Parasaurolophus scavenges for food and a Styracosaurus sniffs for nearby predators. These prehistoric beasts will be created from hundreds of thousands of LEGO bricks.

Just steps away, young guests can pretend to be junior paleontologists at Dig Those Dinos. Climb into a 2,400 square foot pit containing tons of sand to dig up fake claws, teeth and bones, as well as full size skeleton reproductions. After digging and dusting off the bones, guests can take their finds to a Fossil ID Station to learn more about the dinosaur they have discovered.

�Dino Island is sure to bring out the explorer in all guests, both young and old,� says President and General Manager John Jakobsen. �I�m excited to see the look on the children�s faces when they uncover the fossils of a Brachiosaurus. What a great way for guests to learn about dinosaurs and have fun at the same time.�

Dino Island will include a �Megga-Egga-Saurus� the whole family can climb inside of for a family portrait as well as life-size dinosaur footprints that guests can lie inside of to get an idea of the enormity of these amazing animals.

If explorers work up a sweat, they can cool off at Raptor Splash. In this section of the island, four battle stations are loaded with buckets of water balloons and a water balloon launcher. Families can place a balloon in the launcher, pull down on the handle, aim, and fire! The balloon soars high through the air and comes crashing down on the opponent�s battle station. Strategically placed slots and holes in the structure allow water to rush through. You might get sprinkled, sprayed or saturated, but watch out, retaliation comes quickly!

In addition to Coastersaurus and Dig Those Dinos debuting April 2, LEGOLAND will be opening a total of five new attractions in 2004 to honor the park�s fifth birthday. Block of Fame, which combines history and classic art in a tree-lined walkway of LEGO busts and a three-dimensional art gallery, opened Presidents Day weekend. Fun Town Fire Academy, a competitive interactive ride in which families power their own fire truck across a straightaway and pump water through a hose to put out a �burning� building, opens May 28. On Father�s Day, June 18, Miniland Florida will be added to Miniland to include Cape Canaveral and the famous Daytona International Speedway. Guests will be able to remotely race LEGO brick cars around the racetrack!
