Awesome stuff, Steve! I browsed through a few days ago, but finally had time to go back and and thoroughly enjoy all of your photos and captions. The details are amazing that they've put in Miniland. I think the little sharks in the water, and the people making out between the buildings are my favorite, haha. Like many others, I flippin' LOVED Lego's when I was younger. I also still have all of mine crammed in boxes down in my basement. I can't wait to get down to Florida to check Legoland out for myself. Thanks for sharing.

I really need to catch up on my trip reports!
Next we have Hollywood Drive-In Mini Golf, the brand new and totally awesome mini golf course at Universal's City Walk! This is actually from about three weeks ago (March 4 to be exact), I just took forever to get the report up. There have already been a couple smaller reports of the course, but this one will be pretty comprehensive. Ready................go!

I'm not a huge mini-golf fan, but this looks awesome and a must-do at night. "Haunty Python"

Nice trip report, Steve! It's very odd seeing Universal making a putt-putt place, but that looks really fun! The theming looks exciting too.

I'm looking forward to playing this course, as old sci-fi and horror flicks are right up my alley.
