A threatening message left at Florida’s Legoland on Wednesday was deemed not credible, police said.
The Winter Haven park was put on lockdown briefly after a Legoland employee found the note in a bathroom.
Authorities said the note had no specifics but had ‘verbiage that concerned us.’
That led to full security sweeps of the park using bomb-sniffing dogs, according to Winter Haven Police spokesperson Jamie Brown.
All guests and staff were not allowed out of the park and no new guests could enter while the sweeps were conducted, police said.
This included searching the resort hotel.
Nothing was found and the park was reopened to all guests after the lockdown which lasted about two hours.
"This is not a joke. We take it very seriously. In today’s world, the way things are going, we have to take every threat seriously," Winter Haven Police Chief Charlie Bird told news channel WFLA.
In 2016 the park also had to close for several hours due to a threatening message which also turned out to be a hoax.
