The Cypress Gardens LEGOLAND banyan tree (one single tree!) was originally planted as a seedling in 1939 by the original owners, Dick and Julie Pope. It was placed in a 5 gallon bucket and delivered to it’s location in a wheelbarrow. Banyan trees are a type of fig tree native to India. These organisms begin life as an epiphyte, germinating in the crevices of a host tree or other structures. Banyans have a hanging root system which will become the support pillars for the branches as the tree grows.

My childhood in Florida wasn't always great, but nothing makes a better climbing tree than a banyan (don't climb on this one of course) such beautiful trees ❤ The Mangroves in Florida and the islands that they form are also pretty amazing if anybody wants to see another really cool type of tropical tree species in the area look em up.

I have a picture of my grandparents standing in that chapel gazebo taken by my mother sometime in the late 1940s , and I remember the Cypress Gardens water show quite well from my own younger days. It's nice to see at least a vestige of it still there.

Visited Cypress Gardens as a child on my first trip to Florida from my North Carolina home. The water ski show was great. I also loved the ladies dressed so beautifully in their antebellum gowns. Went back as an adult just to relive my childhood memories. Thanks for another visit. The gardens are lovely. Safe travels, Jacob.

9:14! That expression of yours as the coaster comes to a sudden halt is PRICELESS!!! I have to share with you, Jacob, I'm 62 and last Oct., inspired by you, I celebrated my birthday at HersheyPark. I had SUCH a blast, except I got sick on the first thrill coaster during the "night before preview" Hershey lets you enjoy. And I was SO SICK after that coaster I thought "I can't go on coasters anymore!" But then I see you going on gentler coasters and I remember there were some of the not-so-heavy-duty coasters I could enjoy. I would not know about any of these were it not for you. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all of your adventures, alone and with sweet Jenn, with us!

Thank you for visiting the Cypress Gardens area of the park. It brought back great memories of 1968 when my family visited. It was a beautiful tranquil place with lovely gardens, amazing boat rides through the canals, and seeing the Banyan trees and Cypress. I remember the Southern Belles waving at us as we glided by in our boat. And that ski show was quite spectacular too! Lots of ski jumps over those ramps, and the pyramids they would build on their shoulders! It was great entertainment back in a simpler day. Thank you for bringing those great memories back to me. 😊

I used to work at legoland California. We had exactly the same guy on the bench, the one with the mohawk, but he was balding. I guess they added the mohawk for fun. I wonder if they did it at both parks, or if this is just a florida thing. I hope it's different. Sometimes I find it sad that both parks have so so many of the same builds. Seems like it would be more fun to have more variety.
