Walt Disney Imagineers have brought guests into some of the world’s most iconic attractions through the wonders of immersive storytelling. The crowning achievement of these stories are the Audio-Animatronics that help bring these worlds to life. As we slowly make our way into a great big beautiful tomorrow, the Imagineers continue to challenge what can be accomplished with these robotic characters.

Shiver me timbers! After walking on a high wire over an active volcano in Nicaragua, Nik Wallenda’s next stunt will bring him to Central Florida to “walk the plank,” so to speak.
On April 16, Wallenda will walk from inside Legoland Florida to the new Pirate Island Hotel to kick off the resort’s opening festivities. Park and hotel guests are invited to take part and watch the nail-biting stunt safely from the ground.
Wallenda’s team will construct a high wire longer than 500 feet for the walk. They will also work closely with Legoland master model builders to craft LEGO bricks onto Wallenda’s 28-foot balance pole.
This won’t be Wallenda’s first time performing a stunt in Central Florida. Back in 2015, to celebrate the opening of The Orlando Eye on International Drive, he walked on top of the 400 foot tall observation wheel while it was rotating. You can catch a glimpse of that in an episode of “The Attractions Show” below.
We will be there to cover Wallenda’s Legoland Florida stunt in April, as well as the opening of the Pirate Island Hotel on April 17, so stay tuned! Reservations are available at LEGOLAND.com/pirateisland.
JW Marriott has announced that the upcoming JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa is now scheduled for March 2020.
