LEGOLAND is opening a new land based on space exploration – with a world first rollercoaster.
LEGO Galaxy will open on March 6, 2026 with three new rides at the California theme park.
The main ride will be the Galacticoaster, which lets riders design their own vehicle, using touch screens and RFID wristbands.
The personalization includes choosing the tail, noses and wings for the ride, which has 625 combinations.
Guests will enter the ride via the Briefing Room, meeting Chief Engineer Biff Dipper.
After creating their machine, they will then “blast off” through the Lego solar system.
It is opening at the California and Florida Legoland, as the “first new rollercoaster in nearly two decades”.
Two other rides with also be part of the new land – F-Force Test Facility and DUPLO Launch and Land.
There will also be a Junior Astronaut Training Zone which will be a toddler play area.
There will also be space themed shops and restaurants too.
This includes the Ultimate Food Outlet (U.F.O) along with Stardust Treats and Satellite Bites.
And then Orbital Outpost will be the souvenir shop onsite.
The website states: “We are charting course for an out-of-this-world adventure with a brand-new, space-themed land featuring an all-new indoor family coaster, 2 other cosmic rides, and even more LEGO space adventures.”
Merlin Magic Making boss Flora Liu said: This isn’t just a coaster – it’s a full-on Lego galaxy.
“We’re mixing the creativity of Lego with the wonder of space to bring families a totally new kind of adventure.”
It’s not the only exciting new land coming to the Lego parks.
Legoland Deutschland in Germany is opening the world-first Lego Harry Potter themed land.
Little has been revealed as of yet, with more announced over the next 12 months.
However, Peter van Roden, EVP Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences said: “This new destination will allow fans to step into the familiar LEGO Harry Potter aesthetic they have been constructing for years and physically experience the wizarding world like never before.”
The world’s biggest Legoland is actually in the UK, being Legoland Windsor.
And one mum revealed what she thought after visiting the UK Legoland for the first time.
