New attractions are coming to LEGOLAND California and Florida Resorts in 2026 — the two US parks are receiving space-themed experiences that include high-tech indoor rollercoasters.
LEGOLAND California and Florida Resorts are set to gain new space-themed attractions as part of a continued investment in updating the two parks, landing in 2026.
The parks represent two of the three LEGOLAND Resorts in the United States (New York hosting the third), and two of eleven LEGOLAND Resorts around the world, a number that includes the recently opened Shanghai location. The California park has been in business since 1999, and LEGOLAND Florida opened in 2011, so both parks have their fair share of history. And now, they’re rocketing into the future with space-themed attractions coming soon.
These new attractions are confirmed to include indoor rollercoasters that are being touted as the “most technologically advanced attractions” any LEGOLAND Resort has yet seen.

“After months of anticipation, we’re delighted to confirm details of these immersive, space-themed experiences at two of Merlin’s premier resorts globally,” said Merlin Entertainments CEO Fiona Eastwood. “This £70 million investment exemplifies our strategy to premiumise our existing portfolio, offering young families even more high-quality attractions, with the captivating storytelling and learning through play that LEGOLAND Resorts are renowned for.”
The Florida and California parks will have different takes on the space-themed attractions, with each park developing its own unique space area.
LEGOLAND Florida will debut Spaceport 885 named after 885 Space Scooter, and its primary focus is on the indoor rollercoaster ride. The rollercoaster will include a themed queue that will have interactive experiences as you wait in yet another amusement park line. Young fans aged between one and four can hang out in the DUPLO Tot Spot, a soft play zone, while parents take a breather at nearby adult seating. And there’s of course shopping opportunities, which will be space themed as well.
The California version is called Spaceport 886, named after 886 Space Buggy. This space land will also feature the indoor rollercoaster, but goes a few steps further than its Florida counterpart. Two additional rides will be present here, though exact details on those aren’t currently available. Younger fans once again get their own dedicated area, the Junior Astronaut Training Zone, and there will be a food court area alongside the all-important souvenirs.
“Our Merlin Magic Making creative team are constantly working on new, compelling and interactive experiences across our LEGOLAND Resorts as we further strengthen our partnership with the LEGO Group and broaden our appeal to LEGO’s global fan base,” Fiona added. “In both locations the boundless creativity of LEGO will meet the wonders of space — setting a new standard for fun and imagination, and once again providing guests with a new reason to visit these destination resorts.”
Fuller details about these new experiences are expected in the coming months as construction gets underway for the new space lands, which will open sometime in 2026.
