LEGOLAND Florida and California Resorts are set to unveil the Galacticoaster, a new indoor, space-themed family coaster, in early 2026.

To celebrate, LEGOLAND is launching a nationwide contest to find a team of Junior Galaxy Explorers who will be the first to ride the Galacticoaster, according to a news release from LEGOLAND.

The contest will be judged by ambassadors from Blue Origin’s Club for the Future and LEGOLAND Master Model Builders, who are looking for bold and imaginative designs.

Winners will be rewarded with the first ride on the Galacticoaster, a two-night stay at Legoland Hotel, annual passes for their family, themed clothing, and a commemorative LEGO build. They will also receive travel accommodations to the park for digital winners.
