LEGOLAND Florida and California to Unveil Technologically Advanced ‘Galacticoaster’ Attractions
A new indoor roller coaster, “Galacticoaster,” is set to open at both LEGOLAND Florida and LEGOLAND California in early 2026. Merlin Entertainments, the parent company of LEGOLAND, is investing approximately $90 million in the two space-themed attractions, which are designed to deliver thrills and excitement for families with children ages 2-12. According to the company, the new coaster is being developed in collaboration with the Lego Group and promises to be the most technologically advanced attraction at any LEGOLAND Resort to date.

LEGOLAND Florida: LEGOLAND Spaceport 885
At LEGOLAND Florida, the new coaster will be a part of a larger themed area called LEGOLAND Spaceport 885, named in homage to one of the original LEGO Space Scooter sets. The ride will be the first new roller coaster to open inside the main LEGOLAND Florida theme park since its debut in 2011. The queue experience is designed to be fully immersive, inviting families to engage and imagine even before takeoff. The new area will also feature the Orbital Outpost, a themed retail shop, and a Duplo Tot spot for younger explorers ages 1-4.
Blake Boyter, a senior project manager with Merlin Magic Making, said, “This is more than just a ride! It’s a fully immersive mission that starts the minute guests enter the building. From lift off to landing, the result is LEGOLAND Florida’s most ambitious attraction to date — built for explorers big and small.”
LEGOLAND California: LEGOLAND Spaceport 886
Over at LEGOLAND California, the new Galacticoaster will launch as part of a new, space-themed land. This marks the park’s first new roller coaster in over two decades. The land will feature its own spaceport, LEGOLAND Spaceport #886, a nod to an original Lego Space Buggy set. The area will also include a Junior Astronaut Training Zone for toddlers, as well as a quick-service dining location called Galactic Grub and Gear and a retail shop.
Flora Liu, a senior project manager for Merlin Magic Making, commented on the new land. “This isn’t just about a new innovative coaster; it’s about creating an entire universe for our guests to explore, where the boundless creativity of Lego meets the wonders of space,” Liu said. “We’ve designed it so that families can explore space together in a way that only Lego can make happen!”
