Legoland California | Galacticoaster | ART Engineering Coaster | 2026

[Lukas D]

LEGOLAND's 2025 project (first posted here) will be a LEGO Galaxy-themed land featuring a launched indoor coaster, a Huss Airboat flat ride and playscapes as reported by Parkfans and Screamscape.

The new land will replace the current driving school and junior driving school at LEGOLAND California. These two attractions will be relocated to the site currently occupied by the Funtown Fire Academy.

The coaster will be situated in a more than 30,000 sq ft large and over 40-feet tall show building and is confirmed to be launched.

According to Parkfans, the project was scheduled to open in March 2025, but may open later that year due to the ongoing planning and approval process.


The site plan was initially leaked by Parkfans.



Several pieces of concept art were published by the San Diego Union-Tribune today.

This actually sounds awesome - it would be a great addition at Legoland Windsor too - all weather and indoor to keep the noise to a minimum.

Riptide Rescue at swsd was rumored to be relocated in the park where tidal Twister was...maybe 30 minutes up the road again.

Any rumor on if this is Intamin or not

Driving School will close after Sunday to be relocated to its new site. And with that the ball is rolling;

ART Engineering has ben importing hardware to the park, explicitly for the Galaxy project. Very odd considering that neither the indoor coaster or flat ride seen in the proposal are coming from them;

Edit: sorry just realised a thread for the California one already exists.

So i guess this can be for Florida's

Quite a big investment is coming to Legoland California & Florida, both parks are set to get indoor first of their kind coasters. This will be the largest investments both parks have ever seen being a combined total of $90 million.

"we’re sparing no expense to deliver the most innovative, interactive and captivating experience possible.”

Work has already begun.

Don’t get too cozy. I’ve been consistently putting stuff for the Florida one in this thread, about time someone updated the title; https://coasterforce.com/forums/thr...light-school-at-legoland-florida.46178/page-2

Also those construction images are several months old as the building’s been fully set up. Weird PR move from Merlin.

per Screamscape - a news piece about the new driving school at Legoland California included some drone shots of the new indoor coaster being built.
The reporter says - "they are building this one and an identical one at their Florida location".
I took some shots of the footers that can be seen in the video! A layout anyone knows?
...And here is the video.

More info was released yesterday. The coasters will be space-themed and will launch from the LEGOLAND SPACEPORT 885, named after the original LEGO Space Scooter set #885. In addition to the coaster, the space-themed area will include a covered story-driven queue area, a themed retail shop called Orbital Outpost, and DUPLO TOT Spot, a shaded play area for children aged 1 to 4 featuring DUPLO bricks, vehicles, characters, and a photo opportunity.

A contractor the other week offered a first (since-deleted) look at the Huss Airboat, which is specific to this park's Galaxy area and not in Florida;
