Legoland California plans Galacticoaster indoor coaster opening 2026

Legoland California Resort will open its first new indoor roller coaster in over 20 years, called Galacticoaster, scheduled for early 2026. The space-themed coaster is housed inside a 30,000-square-foot building and features a 1,500-foot track where riders board customized spacecraft for a personalized cosmic adventure. This project is part of Merlin Entertainments' largest-ever investment in Legoland parks, totaling $90 million for coasters at both California and Florida locations. The Galacticoaster represents the most technologically advanced ride at Legoland, involving over 500 global crew members and extensive construction efforts. Meanwhile, Legoland Florida will also debut its Galacticoaster with additional space-themed attractions, enhancing the immersive experience with retail and play zones. The investment reflects Merlin's strategy to elevate its portfolio by providing innovative, family-friendly attractions that blend storytelling with Lego creativity.
