The LEGO Group built four amusement parks around the world, known as "Legoland". Each park features large-scale LEGO models of famous landmarks and miniature LEGO models of famous cities, along with Lego-themed rides. The oldest Legoland park is located in Billund, Denmark. Others followed: LEGOland Windsor in England, LEGOland California in Carlsbad, California, and LEGOland Deutschland in Günzburg, Germany. All four parks have recently been sold to Blackstone Group, although Lego Group still retains a 30% interest and voting rights.
