Just north of San Diego there’s a popular theme park called Legoland. It’s aimed at young children and their parents, and features displays and rides consisting of or based on things built from Legos.

Several weeks ago Legoland was promoting a new attraction, called New York, New York. It’s based on the Las Vegas resort of the same name. Which is based on the skyline of Manhattan.

So what we have here is a commercial attraction modeled on another commercial attraction which is based on a well-known group of buildings.

The next step will be a box of Legos called New York, New York. It will be based on the theme park based on the resort based on the city.

Don’t we live in a fascinating world?
