Overview
- Galacticoaster opens at LEGOLAND Florida on February 27, 2026, with the full LEGO Galaxy land debuting at LEGOLAND California on March 6, 2026; Florida receives the stand‑alone coaster while California gets the complete land.
- Merlin Entertainments is investing $90 million across the California and Florida resorts to deliver the space‑themed expansion.
- Riders digitally design spacecraft with more than 625 combinations and link choices via RFID wristbands, with their creations displayed on ride screens and in on‑ride photo and video products.
- The experience features preshow host Biff Dipper, a robotic minifigure capable of 45 projected facial features and nine body movements, leading into an indoor ART Engineering coaster that reaches 40 mph, targets about 850 riders per hour with six trains, and has 90 cm/120 cm height thresholds.
- California’s installation uses a partially sunken show building to meet height limits and adds G‑Force Test Facility, DUPLO Launch and Land, play zones, and themed dining and retail, while Florida’s version uses ramps to access the load platform.
