Okay, so I just heard about this, but apparently it's been a thing for about a year: Legoland is working on having all its parks certified as Autism Friendly Centers by the end of March this year! And they are doing it SO WELL. In addition to quiet rooms and sensory areas, every single area/ride/activity/whatever, will come with a chart like this:
It outlines EXACTLY how the thing functions and gives details on how it impacts each of the five main senses. There's a big digital guide, and then signs within the parks themselves. Just. GAH. I love this so much. Good job Legoland.

hey i work at [unspecified plastic building object] land and here are some ninjago statistics i’ve collected from actual children who watch the show in present day from the past few weeks:
“who’s your favourite ninja?”- 95% of the time it’s lloyd. any other time its jay. one time it was nya, another time it was kai. the children do not yearn for glacier.
2. there is a sculpture of nya in ninjago the ride queue that always generates a conversation. however, this sculpture is based off season 5 nya with short hair and her reddish blue gi. the most shocking thing to me… KIDS DONT RECOGNISE HER. i’ve overheard so many “who’s that?” followed by “i don’t know”s and it’s actually whiplash. why are we old
3. a lot of young girls like ninjago! this is really awesome actually because i remember being a little kid and being one of the only girls in my class at the time who liked it and it was heavily marketed as a “boys toy” so it’s nice to see that they are making ninjago for everyone . . . because it is. like everyone can enjoy these little ninja people
4. the ninjago is still IN. i actually before i started working here was worrying ninjago was falling off and the newer generations wouldn’t really care about it but u guys the children DO still yearn for ninjas and it’s very clear. which was a pleasant surprise :3 it’s truly becoming a generational thing as silly as that sounds
i can’t make these into a whole bullet point, but here is some assorted other stuff that i find funny:
kids actually just wear the ninjago pyjamas to the park like as clothes like straight up
the fang blades, jade blades and nya’s sword pack (which btw what even is that she does not use dual swords) fly off the shelves and i truly wonder why because these kids weren’t even around circa tournament of elements era. perhaps they just like throwing swords around
sometimes they dress up in ninja clothes and i always compliment their outfit and show off my keychain (luckily i had a lloyd one on me one day when a kid was dressed as him) and kids LIGHT UP when they know i know what i’m talking about. it’s one of the best parts of my day actually
tune in next time for more [unnamed colourful building toy] land stories everyone
