If you’re planning your Orlando family vacation, here’s a thrilling update you won’t want to miss: Legoland Florida is gearing up to open its very first indoor roller coaster, launching explorers into an immersive galaxy-themed experience! Scheduled to debut in early 2026, this ride promises to be a must-do for LEGO-loving families and coaster fans alike.
Imagine stepping into the LEGOLAND SPACEPORT 885, with an interactive queue area that feels more like a space mission control center than a typical ride line. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be drawn into the story—kids and parents alike will feel like astronauts preparing for blast-off.
Once aboard the “mission coaster,” you’ll embark on a rocket-powered LEGO space adventure—complete with unexpected twists, immersive visuals, and story elements that bring the cosmic theme to life. The ride isn’t just fun—it’s LEGOLAND Florida’s most technologically advanced attraction to date.
🌟 Family Tips
- Best time to ride: Aim for a morning visit on less busy days or pop in right after a summer storm—these tend to be when indoor rides are calmest.
- Tiny astronauts welcome: Don’t worry about little ones! The brand-new DUPLO TOT Spot lets toddlers (ages 1–4) safely explore LEGO bricks and climb gear while big sibs zoom off on the coaster.
- Souvenir stop: The nearby “Orbital Outpost” shop will be stocked with space-themed merch, from rocket replicas to exclusive LEGO sets—perfect for extensions to your ride experience.
🗓 When & Where It Fits in Your Trip
This coaster is slated for “early 2026”—which means you’ve got time to plan your winter or spring 2026 Orlando getaway around this epic new ride. It’s a brilliant addition to a Legoland day filled with LEGO creativity, splash zones, and gentle rides.
🏨 Suggested Planning
- Stay nearby: Choose a hotel on International Drive or Lake Buena Vista to keep drive times low.
- Timing matters: If you’re returning in 2026, consider splitting a Legoland visit across two days—first for the best-known land attractions, second for morning coaster fun, then relaxation in DUPLO Play areas.
- Dining tip: Grab lunch before the afternoon heat sets in. The indoor ride offers the perfect cool refuge, so plan a relaxed midday break with picnic-style LEGO snacks.
💡 Why This Matters
Legoland Florida has been evolving steadily since opening in 2011, and this indoor coaster marks the park’s biggest single attraction investment to date. It continues Orlando’s trend in 2025 of adding immersive, weather-friendly, family-focused experiences—and solidifies Legoland’s position as a top choice for families seeking creative and interactive fun.
Families, start counting down to blast-off—Legoland’s new space adventure is the “cool” you’ve been waiting for to balance out Orlando’s summer heat and rainy afternoons. This ride is packed with charm, thrills, and story elements that will make it a highlight of your next trip.
