WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — An asteroid is threatening the Lego Galaxy and only you can save it!
Of course, you're going to have to brave Legoland Florida's most intense roller coaster ever, a bicoastal thrill concept that cost the company about $90 million.
Galacticoaster opens in the local park on Feb. 27 — an indoor dark "space launch" ride that spins, swoops and glides through space.

You have to be 36 inches tall to ride with a grown-up, which means there are no big drops or upside-down moments. (You must be 48-inches-tall to ride alone.)
Plus, to calm the scary quotient, Lego animatronics and a cute spaceship-building concept embrace the family-coaster vibe.
But still, this thing can cook. And to make a Disney ride comparison, it often feels like a Guardians of the Galaxy for beginners.
