The aliens basically looked like they could be roughly approximated with about a dozen bits of Lego... I don't think it was an homage or wink to Lego so much as it was a design that could be easily replicated a hundred-odd times and easily made animatronic where needed. If there were a Legoland in the pipeline -- even if 10 or 15 years down the track -- I think they'd be very careful about the brand's theme park exposure. A LEGO Store is probably more plausible and something that there's a precedent of with the stores on Disney properties. Surely a more profitable and interesting use of space than a graffiti cap or Harry-Potter-turned-new-agey-crystal-and-dragon-crap shop -- and surely a drawcard in itself to both tourists as well as local passholders. Not to mention the all the film-franchise LEGO products that they'd have access to.

The original idea was for a mini cars movie world... keep the car driving idea, lose the mini-movieworld bit and instead make it that you're driving through lego-land - you can include all the different 'lego city' sets that you can buy inside it. Cross promote lego merchandise in the nearest shop. Sounds good to me.
