Galacticoaster is an indoor family roller coaster in LEGO Galaxy, a space-themed area of Legoland California in Carlsbad. It opened on March 6, 2026, as the park's first new roller coaster since Coastersaurus in 2004. Before boarding, riders design a LEGO spacecraft from more than 625 combinations, which then appears during the ride.

The coaster was built by the German company ART Engineering and runs inside a 30,000-square-foot building. Its four-seat cars spin as they travel, and tire-driven launch and boost sections bring them up to 40 mph, according to the park. The track is 450 meters (about 1,476 feet) long and reaches a height of 10 meters (about 33 feet).

Riders must be at least 36 inches tall with an adult and 48 inches to ride alone; the maximum height is 6 feet 6 inches.
