LEGOLAND Windsor has given thrill seekers <\/strong>a sneak peek at a brand new \u00a310million rollercoaster, which will be opening to the public next year. <\/p>\n The Berkshire-based theme park's latest addition, called Minifigure Speedway, will be its fastest rollercoaster. <\/p>\n Minifigure Speedway will open to the public in spring 2024 – although it's not been confirmed exactly when this will be. <\/p>\n Legoland Windsor's latest rollercoaster will be the first Lego duelling coaster in the world. <\/p>\n The duelling coaster will feature two teams, Team Legends and Team Allstars, who will race<\/span> against each other in both forwards and reverse – with a winner being crowned each time. <\/p>\n Inspired by Speedway Circuits from around the globe, the Minifigure Speedway will be able to reach speeds of up to 56km\/h (34mph).<\/p>\n The brand-new rollercoaster will feature state-of-the-art technology<\/span> as well as a duel-track layout. <\/p>\n Construction work on the \u00a310million rollercoaster is already underway. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Last month, images emerged of construction starting on the ride, which will be built where the former Raft Racers ride was before it closed last year.<\/p>\n The pictures, shared by\u00a0Attraction Source, showed two work vehicles at the theme park, where the plans said the ride would be built.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Helen Bull, Division Director at the Legoland Windsor Resort, said:\u00a0"Minifigure Speedway is set to get pulses racing when it opens next<\/span> Spring and will be the fun seeker\u2019s favourite amongst families.<\/p>\n "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." <\/p>\n Earlier this year, Legoland Windsor opened another brand-new family-friendly attraction. <\/p>\n Legoland\u00a0Adventure\u00a0Golf<\/span>\u00a0is a new standalone attraction just outside the Windsor theme park.<\/p>\n Inside the UK-first attraction is a 9-hole golf course, with themed\u00a0models\u00a0along the way.<\/p>\n The huge models<\/span> include a giant octopus with tentacles over 2.5 metres wide, and it's made of over 150,000 Lego bricks. <\/p>\n There will also be a 1.5-metre-tall ice cream sundae, made of over 65,000 Lego bricks.<\/p>\n Also new this year is the Ferrari<\/span> Build and Race attraction.<\/p>\n There are three interactive zones – Build and Race, Ferrari LEGO model, and a DUPLO\u00ae build zone – and kids can learn about Ferrari's race history<\/span> too.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a brand-new holiday park will also be opening at the Windsor theme park next year. <\/p>\n The new accommodation will open to the public in May 2024 – with overnight stays on sale now.<\/p>\n There will be 130 holiday lodges and 20\u00a0camping\u00a0barrels on the 10-acre site – with\u00a0prices starting at \u00a3295\u00a0for a family of four.<\/p>\n While most lodges will have bed space for between two to five guests, 10 premium lodges will be able to\u00a0sleep\u00a0up to seven people.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, this was the\u00a0best theme park\u00a0in 2023 in the UK.<\/p>\n And this huge new\u00a0Peppa Pig theme park\u00a0is opening its doors next year. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
