COUNTDOWN TO BLAST OFF: LEGOLAND® FLORIDA RESORT REVEALS GALACTICOASTER! AN ALL-NEW INDOOR FAMILY COASTER OPENING IN 2026
Opening early next year, the first indoor coaster inside the main park at LEGOLAND Florida will take families on an interstellar LEGO® adventure!
FIRST LOOK: LEGOLAND Florida Reveals Galacticoaster, First NEW Indoor Coaster. Florida Resort announced that its all-new space-themed indoor coaster will be called “Galacticoaster” and is officially blasting off in early 2026. Over three years in the making, this intergalactic experience is the most ambitious and technically advanced ride ever built at any LEGOLAND Resort. Today, the Resort gave fans a first look at the final track arrival and installation of this highly anticipated attraction.
At more than 30,000 square feet and towering over 50 feet high, the ride represents an incredible feat of design and engineering, combining the creative imagination of LEGO® play with LEGOLAND Florida’s family-first approach to fun – giving guests an out-of-this-world cosmic adventure.
“Galacticoaster marks the first indoor coaster built inside the main park since LEGOLAND Florida opened in 2011. From the very beginning, we aimed to create an immersive experience for our guests from the moment they step inside,” said Blake Boyter, Senior Project Manager at Merlin Magic Making. “From the engineering precision to the LEGO DNA woven throughout, guests will experience more LEGO storytelling, more excitement, and more out-of-this-world fun than ever before.”
Mission Stats:
· Galacticoaster’s indoor building footprint is equal to 10 basketball courts
· Under construction for 12+ months, with more than 500 crew members from around the world
· Foundation required a single monolithic concrete pour using 400+ trucks over 13 hours
· 48 track sections supported by 120 columns
· Station conveyor belt weighs 18,000 pounds
· Nearly 1,500 feet of track reaching heights of 50 feet
· More than 110,000 hours of on-site work from engineers, designers, and builders to bring this project to life – that would take 53 years for one person working a 40 hour week!
Set to open in early 2026, Galacticoaster invites families to board their own LEGO spacecraft and journey through an interstellar adventure, blending high-speed coaster thrills with imaginative storytelling and cosmic-scale fun.
