Goshen, N.Y. -- Developers are set to unveil plans this week for a Legoland amusement park in Upstate New York's Hudson Valley.

Officials with Merlin Entertainments are expected to give details about the proposed amusement park based on the popular plastic construction toy on Tuesday night in Goshen at a town board meeting.

Orange County had been wooing developers for months after Legoland scrapped plans last year to build in neighboring Rockland County.

Sources say the proposed Legoland would be built along Harriman Drive near Route 17, the Times Herald-Record reports.

Such a theme park would create about 1,000 jobs, bring in additional tax revenues and aid local restaurants and small businesses, county officials told the newspaper. The company reportedly was planning to invest $250 million in the Rockland County site before the project was scuttled.

Officials say they expect a formal announcement of the plans in Orange County by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the Times Herald-Record said.

Legoland theme parks are located in California and Florida. They also are in Denmark, England, Germany, Malaysia and Dubai.

Legoland parks feature a number of roller coasters and other rides, but they are aimed more at families with younger children that those at other major amusement parks. The parks also feature a Lego miniland featuring landmarks made of Lego bricks.
