Park News - (8/2/2026) I wasn’t aware, but apparently the wooden Coastersaurus ride at Legoland Florida has been undergoing some extensive refurbishment since the start of the year and is now set to reopen on August 16, as part of the National Roller Coaster Day celebration. According to an article at Attractions Magazine, the park’s goal was to refurbish and rebuild much of a ride on a one-to-one basis so it would remain essentially the same as it was before, preserving one of Florida’s last fully wooden roller coaster attractions.
In addition to some extensive structural wood replacement have been done you’ll find that the trains have been refurbished, an upgraded control system in place, and enhanced audio and show elements around the attraction, including updated Lego models in the scenes.
The Coastersaurus wooden coaster is a unique feature for the Legoland branded parks around the world, as unlike the other Legoland parks that were built from scratch to be Legoland parks, the Florida location has a rather long history of being created and used for different theme parks over the years. As such, a few of the older attractions have been able to evolve and become unique Lego attractions for the Florida park. This list would include the Coastersaurus that started out in 2004 as the “Triple Hurricane” when it was built for the “Cypress Gardens Adventure Park” that reopened on the site of the original Cypress Gardens that same year. Until 2024 the park also had a Lego themed water ski show that had evolved from the long tradition of water ski shows that ran at the same site going back to 1947 at Cypress Gardens, with the original park having first opened back in 1936 if you can believe it. The park also opened the Pirate River Quest attraction in 2023, a 20 minute long free-floating boat ride through the natural water canals that run through the property, which were originally used for a boat tour through Cypress Gardens during that park’s long history.
