Galacticoaster LEGOLAND

Get ready to take your family on an all-new space adventure on the Legoland Galacticoaster! This ride is housed inside a 30,000-square-foot building that stands over 30 feet high. This ride has nearly 1,500 feet of track as well. The Galacticoaster will by far be one of the coolest rides that is coming to Legoland California Resort.

One of the most interesting features of this ride is that families are able to build their own spacecraft. This is probably one of the coolest features of this ride because as of right now, there are no customizable rides within Legoland California Resort. The only customizable ride at Legoland is located in the Waterpark. The Galactiocaster will now be the first attraction inside Legoland California Resort in which families can personalize the vehicle they ride in.

If you are interested in just how big this ride is, here are some cool size facts about this ride. In terms of building footprint, it is about 10 basketball courts big. There are 48 track sections and 120 columns. The track length is 450 meters (nearly 1,500 feet long). This could be compared to the Technic Coaster at Legoland, which is just slightly smaller. The Technic Coaster has been one of the main attractions for thrill seekers at Legoland, but this Galacticoaster is sure to top that.

When is the Galacticoaster opening at LEGOLAND?

This ride is going to be a big deal, considering it is the first coaster to come to both Legoland Parks in over 20 years. It has been under construction for more than a year, with more than 500 builders worldwide. The construction crew is now adding the finishing touches to the ride, making sure it is ready for its unveiling in 2026.

Where is the Galacticoaster?

The Galacticoaster will be located in Funtown at the Legoland California Resort. Funtown is a perfect spot for family rides, as it includes the driving school and the Police and Fire Academy. The Galacticoaster will be the first roller coaster in Funtown!

The Galacticoaster is not just opening at Legoland California Resort. The Galacticoaster will also be opening in 2026 at the Legoland Florida location. This ride is the same size and theme, so whether you are in California or Florida, you will get to have the same experience in both parks. 

This ride is sure to be an awesome experience for families, so make sure to grab your tickets today!
