Coastersaurus is scheduled to reopen at LEGOLAND Florida Resort on August 16 after a comprehensive rebuild. The return lands on National Roller Coaster Day and ends a closure that began in January.
The ride is Florida's only fully wooden roller coaster. Its track winds through the Land of Adventure past life-sized LEGO dinosaurs. The resort describes it as a first big-kid coaster, with a minimum rider height of 42 inches.
What changed during the rebuild
The coaster train has refurbished seats and handles, and its braking system should produce a smoother stop in the station. Refreshed LEGO models, relocated visual moments and enhanced audio will be the most visible show changes.
Behind the scenes, LEGOLAND replaced structural wood, upgraded the ride controls and lap-bar monitoring, and improved the ride tower. Most of the structure was replaced one-for-one, preserving the familiar wooden-coaster feel rather than redesigning the layout.
The park completed a smaller round of structural work in late 2024. Cory Lytle, LEGOLAND Florida's tech services director, told Attractions Magazine that the broader project began at the end of January 2026 and finished the remaining structural improvements.
A seven-month closure
LEGOLAND Florida's current temporary-closure list still shows Coastersaurus unavailable, with the January 5 starting date. The August reopening gives the family coaster a return date after more than seven months off the park's operating lineup.
The resort's current attraction page continues to list Coastersaurus as a two-seat wooden coaster. Guests should check the LEGOLAND Florida app for day-of operating status after the ride reopens.
