The highly anticipated Legoland Shanghai Resort has completed its project handover and is set to embark on internal testing and trial operations beginning May 31. This marks a significant milestone for what will soon become the world’s largest Legoland theme park. The trial phase represents the final stretch before the grand opening, allowing teams to fine-tune the park’s extensive features.

During this exclusive preview period, a select group of visitors—including holders of the coveted "1st-to-Play" annual pass and "1st-to-Stay" hotel package—will experience early access to the park’s themed rides, dining venues, retail spaces, live performances, and amenities at the Legoland Hotel. This process not only rewards early supporters but also plays a pivotal role in stress-testing the park’s systems ahead of the official opening, scheduled for July 5.
