Overview
- Lego Galaxy opened to the public in Carlsbad on March 6 after media and pass-member previews drew strong early reactions.
- Galacticoaster is an indoor spinning coaster with a forceful launch, a 40 mph top speed and a roughly 60-second ride time tailored for families with a 36-inch height minimum.
- The experience runs about 10 minutes including a preshow led by Biff Dipper, Legoland’s first fully automated animatronic, who delivers the mission briefing.
- Riders customize virtual spacecraft with 625 possible combinations that link to wristbands and appear in the attraction’s projections at the start and finish.
- The coordinated rollout includes an identical installation that opened in late February at Legoland Florida, a first-of-its-kind build by ART Engineering, and represents Merlin’s largest in-park investment for Legoland.
