Great LEGO Race coming to LEGOLAND Florida Resort in March

The LEGOLAND Florida Resort has announced the opening date for the Great LEGO Race attraction and shared a preview video. The Great LEGO Race is a new VR roller coaster opening at the LEGOLAND Florida Resort on March 23. A real roller coaster ride is augmented with VR headsets, that allow guests to be part of a race with LEGO minifigures.

Here is the official description shared by the LEGOLAND team:

With animated action taking place on the ground and in the air, the wild and wacky race pits guests against a pirate, wizard, surfer and pharaoh as they steer LEGO-built vehicles like a rocket-powered windsurfing rig, a stylish scooter fueled by espresso and an ornately canopied bed (called a “litter”) carried by mummy servants.

Wearing optional VR headsets, riders will experience the action from every direction while riding the roller coaster — up, down, forward, backward and all points in between — in a dazzling environment where everything is made of LEGO bricks.

“The Great LEGO Race was inspired by the way kids play with LEGO toys at home,” said Candy Holland, senior creative director for Merlin Magic Making, which designs and develops attractions for Merlin Entertainments sites around the world. “It’s a unique LEGO adventure that lets kids enter an epic imaginary world made entirely from LEGO bricks, featuring a host of different themes and fun LEGO characters, all mixed up together.”
