"Amid the holiday cheer, we were 'over the moon' to unveil details about our new land, Lego Galaxy, which is part of Merlin Entertainments' largest investment in the Legoland Parks," said Kurt Stocks, president of Legoland California Resort. "It's inspired by the very first Lego space sets from the 1970s and celebrates the imagination that has captivated generations. We can't wait for March, when new and longtime fans get to experience the nostalgia of the past, the creativity of today, and the adventures yet to come."

Lego Galaxy, which is three years in the making, will have three cosmic rides, a junior astronaut training zone in a dedicated toddler play area, and galactic grub spots with stellar snacks.

The main attraction, Galacticoaster, is the park's first new coaster in 20 years, and is designed around the Lego universe using space themes from Lego past, present and future. Riders will be able to digitally customize their spacecrafts, selecting the nose, wings, tail and special elements for each spacecraft. Overall, there are 625 different combinations parkgoers can experience when they ride.

To prepare for launch, Merlin Entertainments has announced a nationwide search for Junior Galaxy Explorers, where children can build their own Lego spacecraft for a chance to be among the first to ride the Galacticoaster when Lego Galaxy opens. The competition comes to California in January.
