Legoland has officially announced the closure of the last remaining roller coaster of its historical Cypress Gardens stage. The origins of Cypress Gardens go back to 1936, when Dick and Julie Pope created a botanical garden in Winter Haven. Over time, the park gained popularity and became coined as Florida's first amusement park. It was known for its more than 8,000 plant species from 90 different countries. It hailed iconic characters known as 'Southern Belles' and the park hosted water-ski shows.
