“Brickbeard’s Water Stunt Show” will perform for the final time at Legoland Florida on Dec. 30, 2024. The production — which features fly-boarding, wakeboarding, and barefoot skiing — follows a tradition going back nearly a century with Cypress Gardens, predating Legoland’s arrival to this space. A Legoland spokesperson confirmed the show’s closure to Attractions Magazine on Dec. 12, 2024.
The full statement from Legoland reads:
The ski show has been a beloved part of our history, and while we are glad it created lasting memories for families over the years, we are excited to bring new entertainment offerings to our guests, which include a new Sea Life Aquarium and an awesome new attraction we’ll soon be announcing, which will be out of this world!
It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but we encourage fans of “Brickbeard’s Water Stunt Show” to come and enjoy it before its final show on Dec. 30! Holidays at Legoland presented by the Hallmark Channel is in full swing with elves taking over the park, a giant Lego Christmas tree, delicious holiday treats, and festive entertainment throughout the day.
