Legoland Florida Ends Water Ski Show Tradition

Legoland Florida is set to end its iconic water-skiing show, Brickbeard’s Watersport Stunt Show, with the final performance scheduled for December 30th. This marks the end of a tradition that dates back to the 1940s at Cypress Gardens, its predecessor and a historic site for Florida tourism. The show was renowned for its elaborate water skiing stunts and drew large crowds, becoming a staple attraction over the decades. Legoland cited the need to introduce new experiences and the high cost of production as reasons for the show's closure. While the decision was difficult, the theme park plans to open a new Sea Life Aquarium in spring as part of its evolving entertainment offerings. The closure has nostalgic significance for many, including former performers and local residents who view it as an end of an era in the region's cultural history.
