Legoland is building a pair of indoor roller coasters at its California and Florida parks for a planned 2026 opening.
The two coasters would cost $90 million total, which a Legoland press release called “the biggest ever single in-park investment in the Resorts’ histories.”
Fiona Eastwood, CEO of Legoland’s parent company Merlin Entertainments, said in a prepared statement: “These new coasters are unparalleled for Legoland Resorts, promising to elevate two of our premier Legoland Resorts to new heights, utilizing the latest technology and embracing the Lego DNA, as only we can do.”
Construction has already begun on both coasts, with Legoland saying 300 truckloads of concrete have already been poured.
While Legoland hasn’t officially revealed the ride’s name or many other details, previous reporting by Theme Park Insider said the California coaster would have a “Lego Galaxy” theme, based on planning documents filed with the city of Carlsbad.
“While the details remain under wraps, one thing is clear,” said Legoland Florida Resort president Franceen Gonzales. “This new ride will take our guests on an unprecedented adventure, setting a new standard for fun and imagination.”
For Legoland Florida, this would be its first all-new coaster since the Great Lego Race (then Project X) opened with the park in October 2011. (The park’s other coasters are holdovers from the former Cypress Gardens.)
The Winter Haven, Florida park has been down to three coasters since Flying School closed in August 2023. For Legoland California, the indoor coaster will mark the park’s first new coaster since Coastersaurus opened in 2004.
