WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -

Legoland Florida will announce a park expansion and park executives say it will include a new ride and interactive play area.

A news conference for the planned expansion is scheduled for Tuesday.

Since opening in October 2011, the location has added hotels, a Star Wars-themed area and a water park.

Legoland Florida is based on the building-block toys and has rides and attractions geared toward ages 2 to 12. The Winter Haven location is one of five Lego-based theme parks in the world, and the company's largest.
