Legoland is opening a brand new rollercoaster next year - its fastest ever
Legoland has unveiled a new ride which promises to be the theme park's fastest yet.
The Windsor Resort is soon to open Minifigure Speedway to the public. From Spring 2024 the duelling coaster will see Team Legends and Team Allstars cars race forwards and in reverse against one another to determine who is the winner.
The ride reaches speeds of 56km/h and is inspired by the Speedway circuits. It features state-of-the-art technology and a dynamic dual-track layout, which cost £10m to develop.
The attraction is manufactured by Zierer and is currently under construction at the Legoland Windsor Resort.
Helen Bull, division director at Legoland Windsor, said: "Minifigure Speedway is set to get pulses racing when it opens next Spring and will be the fun seeker’s favourite amongst families. Not only will it be the fastest coaster at the Resort once complete, but it will also offer a uniquely exhilarating experience where cars race forwards and in reverse against each other to see who will be named the winner. Keep your eyes peeled for more information coming soon."

At the moment Legoland Windsor is celebrating the most wonderful time of the year with a merry themed run of days from 25 November 2023 to 3 January 2024. The resort will transform into a winter wonderland, complete with twinkling lights, snow-dusted trees and a gigantic 10-metre-tall Duplo brick Christmas tree, featuring colourful decorations.
Legoland at Christmas will see Father Christmas make his long-awaited return to the park as he travels around on the back of his magical sleigh accompanied by his elves. Guests can take in the festive cheer as the parade winds through Heartlake City all the way to Pirate Shores. Whether you're young, or just young at heart, the Father Christmas Parade is sure to fill your visit with joy and laughter.
Once you've been topped up with merriment, you can become mesmerised by The Merry Mistletones singing Christmas carols in the park before heading down for some seasonal mirth with the classic pantomime story Little Red Riding Hood, in a Duplo Valley puppet show staring the beloved fairytale characters.
The performance will bring Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma to life for little ones and will run alongside the return of the live show Ollie’s Christmas Chaos in Miniland. Guests can add a meeting with Father Christmas for one child and one adult which includes a Lego gift for an additional £20. These can be pre-booked online in advance only at the Legoland website.
Families looking to create even more magical memories can stay overnight with a ‘Festive Sleepover’ in one of the Resort’s Lego themed hotels, right on the edge of the park. Guests are treated to extra activities and entertainment to enjoy including fun and games with the Legoland elves, Ollie’s Winter Tale story time and Elf Pyjama Party.
Packages start are from £425 at the Legoland Hotel, based on two adults and two children sharing a room with breakfast and including theme park access to the festive park. If you like the idea of visiting a theme park this Christmas, but don't fancy Legoland or the price tag, then Efteling in the Netherlands may be worth a visit. A British TikTok creator recently gave an insight into what could be a "cheaper" alternative to Disneyland based on her family's experience at the park. Thetravelmum took to the social media platform to share her review of the park.
