This next-generation indoor roller coaster promises an experience unlike any other, offering a thematic blend of space adventure and LEGO creativity.
Unveiling the Galacticoaster
Galacticoaster will be located in Fun Town, within a colossal 30,000-square-foot structure named Spaceport 886. As it stands 30 feet tall, this magnificent space-themed roller coaster marks the first new addition to Legoland California’s coaster collection in over two decades. According to Blooloop, the track construction is already underway with a dedicated workforce of over 500 builders from around the globe.
Inspired Design and Immersive Technology

The Ride Experience
As riders embark on their journey, they will be strapped into a custom spacecraft, whisking them through an exhilarating 1,500 feet of track woven with fantastical LEGO galaxy scenes. The thematic ambiance is expanded with two additional space-themed attractions, a toddler play section, and space-inspired food, beverages, and retail outlets.
Setting New Standards in Entertainment
Fiona Eastwood, CEO of Merlin Entertainments, highlights the innovation behind Galacticoaster, “It’s part of Merlin’s largest-ever Legoland investment – $90 million to bring Galacticoaster to both Legoland California and Florida.” The ride sets a new benchmark for creativity and amusement, immersing guests in the limitless imagination of LEGO paired with the cosmic allure of space.
