If I remember right, they were forced to sell the theme park business when they were in dire financial straights in the early 00s.

While Legoland still exists, it's now a license and the parks owned by a separate company

That is correct, but has since been bought back. Well it's a little more complicated, but it's 50% owned by the Kirky family.
