Legoland California is a theme park focused on LEGO bricks world. It opened on March 20, 1999. The park is split into nine major sections which are: The Beginning, Dino Island, Duplo, Village Green, Fun Town, Castle Hill, Miniland USA, Pirate Shores, Imagination Zone, and Land of Adventure. The water park was built during 2009 and opened in 2010.

While each machine is located in its own specific area of the park, the exact location within the area changes from time to time.

This update included replacing all the machines with new ones. All the designs cost $1 each and the machine supplies a Zinc penny. Machines only accept $1 bills and credit cards; will not accept quarters anymore. The design are all the same as they were.

Legoland Bionicle Error Coins (Both are now retired and This new error coin info is thanks to RK):
The first design of the 'Tahu Nuva (Written on top) ' 'TOA of Fire' (Around bottom) was spelled wrong, it was spelled'TAO', and was pulled and the spelling corrected. Not known who noticed this error
Then an astute 8-year-old and his dad went to Legoland on vacation, The son is a huge Bionicle fan, a big fan of Logos, of course they got the pennies from Legoland's Bionicle and the other Lego machines. They enjoyed the rest of the Park and later that night looked at the coins he pressed. He right away noticed that the coin that read 'Tahu Nuva' 'TOA' of Fire had the wrong engraved character on it. The engraved character (On both the 'TAO' and TOA' designs) was actually 'Matau the TOA of Air' from the 'TOA Metru' collection in his flying pose (Dad confirmed this). They notified Legoland by letter and Legoland apparently taped over the 'TOA of Fire picture on the Bionicle machine and shortly there after, retired the machine.
So both 'Tahu Nuva' 'TAO' and 'TOA of Fire' designs are error coins because the engraved character is actually 'Matau the TOA of Air'. (See scan of both Bionicle error coins below)
