On February 12, daredevil Nik Wallenda will “walk the plank” at the LEGOLAND Florida Resort as the first event to celebrate the resort’s 10-year anniversary. The new Brickbeard’s Watersports Stunt Show and PirateFest Weekends will also begin on the same day.

Nik Wallenda will walk a high wire more than 500 feet long and five stories (60 feet) above where guests are able to watch him from the ground. The Wallenda team will work with Lego Master Model Builders to add LEGO bricks to his 28-foot balance pole.

The new Brickbeard’s Watersports Stunt Show will also begin February 12. Set to an original score of “punk pirate” tunes, it will see Calico Jade and Captain Brickbeard training a new crew through a series of stunts including wakeboarding, barefoot skiing, jump acts and flyboarding above Lake Eloise.

PirateFest Weekends also launches the same day. The resort will be invaded by pirates with three brand new character meet and greets (Captain Red Beard, Pirate Princess, and Shark Suit Guy), a new musical show at the LEGO City Stage and specialty food. The weekends will begin February 12 and run for three consecutive weekends until February 28.

These amazing events are all included within the price of a general admission ticket. For more information and to get your tickets, visit LEGOLANDFlorida.com.
