THE GREAT LEGO RACE

he Great LEGO Race is the first virtual reality (VR) roller coaster experience designed for kids and represents the first time the LEGO brand has been integrated with VR technology in a theme park attraction. With animated action taking place on the ground and in the air, the wild and wacky race pits guests against a pirate, wizard, surfer and pharaoh as they steer LEGObuilt vehicles like a rocketpowered windsurfing rig, a scooter fueled by espresso and a canopied bed carried by mummy servants. Wearing optional VR headsets, riders will experience the action from every direction up, down, forward, backward and all points in between while riding the roller coaster – in an environment where everything is made of LEGO bricks.
