Merlin Entertainments, Legoland’s parent company, has announced that two indoor roller-coasters are under construction at theme parks in California and Florida.
The $90m investment is the biggest in the resorts’ histories. In the case of California, it will be the first new attraction in 20 years.
No further details for the roller-coasters has been given, such as their height or speed.
Legoland California contains the Amazon-themed Adventurer’s Club and Captain Cranky’s Challenge, whereas Legoland Florida has a Coast Guard Academy, a Driving School and the Ferrari Build and Race, as well as the dinosaur ride Coastersaurus.
Legoland has three resorts in the US, the third being located in the town of Goshen, New York.
Fiona Eastwood, Merlin Entertainments’ chief executive, said: “As we prepare to unveil this exciting new attraction designed, co-created and imagined by the amazing creative team at the Lego Group and the unmatched talent of our Merlin Magic Makers, we hope the mystery and anticipation add to the awesome thrills to come.
“These new coasters are unparalleled for Legoland Resorts, promising to elevate two of our premier Legoland Resorts to new heights, utilising the latest technology and embracing the Lego DNA as only we can.”
The roller-coasters are due to be completed next year.
