Yes sold - but to another theme type company. Its my understanding that they intend to increase the size of the park (the space available they coudl actually have 4 times the park!) and at least one Lego-hotel.
They sold it because Lego have not made any profit in any year since opening the place!
Legoland Sold [20/7/05]
As reported on Joyland last month, American investment company Blackstone Group has acquired the Legoland Theme Parks chain from Danish toy manufacturer, Lego, creating Europe's second biggest tourist attractions operator. Blackstone has been quick to merge Legoland theme parks with the Merlin Entertainments chain it acquired last month. Joyland understands that the enlarged theme parks and attractions group will be named 'Merlin Entertainment Group' and will be managed by the current Merlin team, headed by CEO Nick Varney0
