Legoland Windsor Future Developments

Minifigure Speedway opened today. For a load of photos see source here.

It was a busy opening day.


And you have the regular or R&R entrance.


You seem to get to a small preshow where you either go with team Legends or All-stars.


Theming is basic in queue and station but it does the job, Roxy and the billboard do stand out however.




So far people seem to like the new coasters, as a big fan of duelling coasters i cannot wait to get out to the park.



Did anyone on here get the chance to ride it?

Here is a POV of the coasters.

Looks like a fun ride, but why is the ride still a half-construction site?

With significant mud portions in the Nemesis queue, and the new Hyperia buildings looking very bare & bland, this does spark a worrying trend of Merlin dropping the ball on theming and opening rides without putting a high priority on presentation. I would've gladly accepted both rides being delayed to add finishing touches instead of experiencing them in a state where the theming is clearly not up to theme park standard. I'm disappointed in how this ride looks, and they should do better (or, preferably, add more to this coaster over time). I already wasn't a fan of how weirdly high off the ground this coaster was, but I'm let down a lot more now.

Unfortunately that has always been the case with Merlin. They do not know how to “finish” landscaping.

It was the same with The Swarm, all the land around was just left full of rubble and weeds. Chessington didn’t do much better with the area under their Wing Coaster.

Yeah... the landscaping/presentation isn't that great yet, and the general elevation of the whole ride is incredibly odd... but just in terms of the rides themselves, I'm very surprised at how forceful some of the turns on these things look!

People who’ve ridden say that they are surprisingly intense; I even heard one rider talk about “mini grey out moments”, particularly during the backwards lap!

They need to get out a little more often

Isn't this literally the same speed and intensity as the Zierer Dragon coasters at the other LEGOLAND parks?
