David Seligman, the owner of Sweet Tymes Sweet Shop in Goshen, said Wednesday that he is ready for an influx of new customers once Legoland New York opens down the road off of Harriman Drive.

He expects large orders of his ice cream, handmade chocolates, and items from the “nostalgia wall.”

“That will be big,” he said, pointing to the wall of snacks that were popular in decades past. “Someone’s going to look and say, ‘I haven’t had Bit-O-Honey since I was 12 years old.'”

Seligman is stocking up to be able to serve tourists willing to spend in large clips.

“We’re here expanding what we make,” he said, “because it’s going to be a different type of person coming in here.”

But when?

“Our site is really starting to look like a theme park. It’s a very busy time for us,” Legoland New York spokesman Matt Besterman said, while standing just outside the park’s main gate during a Zoom interview.

He said rides are being tested and employees are still being recruited for jobs that start immediately.

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced last week that theme parks like Legoland can open at 33% capacity beginning on April 9.

Legoland executives have said they plan to open the park this spring “as planned,” but have not announced a date.

Besterman said to expect the announcement “in the coming weeks.” He added that people who bought passes over the last year will be contacted shortly regarding when they can finally visit the seven lands within Legoland.

“You can see behind me, we’re sort of snow-covered at the moment,” Besterman said, “but hopefully, the nice weather we’re having is a sign of things to come. We’ll keep it moving forward. We can’t wait to show this off.”

To prevent large crowds at the gate, Legoland passes are currently only available online, Besterman said.

Seligman is standing by.

“I think it’s a good thing, especially in the pandemic times we are (in),” he said. “We’re all trying to survive.”
