The staff reduction at the Carlsbad park comes as Legoland looks to restructure how it produces and staffs shows throughout the year.
Brick-or-Treat, an entertainment offering at Legoland California during Halloween, is an example of one of the larger productions that will eventually be staffed with the help of a new outside provider. Legoland has announced it is laying off nearly 100 employees at its Carlsbad park, part of a broader companywide restructuring of how it delivers shows and other entertainment offerings.
Legoland California characterized the staff reduction as a way to “elevate the guest experience” and better compete in the theme park sector. “We will continue to have a core in-house entertainment offering, which we will scale up to meet our brand and guest experiences during the year. This will include working with a global leader in this sector — who will be providing employment opportunities — to bolster our entertainment provision during seasonal special events.”According to the WARN letter sent by Legoland, the layoffs are to begin March 25 and continue through April 7.
The Lego World Parade this summer would be staffed by the new provider, she added. Similarly, special programming like Brick-or-Treat during Halloween and shows during the Christmas holiday period would be produced with the help of Legoland’s new contractor.
