CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) — Legoland will lay off 97 employees at its Carlsbad park, according to the Employment Development Department of California.
When a company reduces staffing by a specific threshold, it must notify the state. Then, the EDD posts documents related to the layoffs on the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification page, or WARN, on its website.
Most of the layoffs will be performers, according to Legoland. Theme park officials say Legoland is restructuring its entertainment by using an outside company to staff events, like shows and parades.
In a statement obtained by ABC 10News, the owner of the park says this will allow them to be more flexible.
The Legoland in Florida also announced 234 layoffs.
The layoffs start March 25.
