The LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort unveils 30ft (10m) tall ‘Roxie’ LEGO® minifigure as a first look at Minifigure Speedway, the world’s first LEGO® duelling rollercoaster, opening this Easter!

Roxie is the official mascot of the new attraction that can be seen exclusively at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort

LEGOLAND Windsor opens for February Half Term from Saturday 10 February

9 February 2024: It’s time to rev-up those engines after the world’s tallest LEGO® minifigure was unveiled to kick start the countdown to the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort’s brand-new roller coaster, Minifigure Speedway.

Weighing over 6 tonnes, standing at 30ft tall and complete with her glistening racing suit, the installation of the towering minifigure Roxie reveals a first look at the new attraction which opens this Easter.

Exclusive to the UK’s most loved family theme park, the giant minifigure took a specialist pit crew to install, as the official mascot of the new Minifigure Speedway coaster. Sure to be an awe-inspiring hit with kids and their families, Roxie now takes pride of place at the new Minifigure Speedway attraction which will be the world’s first LEGO® duelling coaster featuring Team Legends and Team Allstars cars that race forwards and in reverse, with a winning team every time.

Helen Bull, Divisional Director at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, said: “It’s a big day for all the team at the Resort to see the world’s tallest minifigure, Roxie, take pride of place in our new attraction, Minifigure Speedway. There’s nowhere else in the world you can see Roxie, she’s entirely bespoke to us here at LEGOLAND Windsor – we can’t wait for everyone to see her!”

Hannah ‘Phiz’ Phizacklea, Lead Creative on Minifigure Speedway at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort said: “The unveiling of Roxie as the world’s tallest LEGO minifigure is a dream come true for me. Growing up playing with LEGO and visiting the park, it feels very special to have been part of the team that dreamed up an authentic LEGO character.

“Roxie is a strong female role model, and it was important we created an iconic character that children can look up to – literally! Minifigure Speedway brings a real thrill element to the park especially for older kids who will love the competitiveness of racing against each other as one of the All Stars or Legends.”

Reaching speeds of up to 56km/h, the duelling coaster design has been inspired by the world’s great Speedway circuits, where racers will be immersed in a track like no other.

Featuring state-of-the-art technology and a dynamic dual-track layout, the £10m Minifigure Speedway development is part of the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort’s ambition to create a world class Resort destination of the future.

Tickets to LEGOLAND Windsor start from £35 per person, kids under 90cm go free. Tickets for 2024 season are now on sale and bookable at www.legoland.co.uk

THE LEGOLAND® WINDSOR RESORT UNVEILS MINI-LEGO® BRICK VERSIONS OF ITS NEW ROYAL NEIGHBOURS

Talented Model Makers create a ‘Royal Removal’ display in Miniland to celebrate the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge family’s relocation to Windsor

The miniature LEGO® models of the family and dog, Orla, were built using 4,100 bricks and took 19 hours to create

Talented Model Makers at the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort have today unveiled miniature LEGO® models of their new royal neighbours, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family.

The brick-tastic moving-in scene which features a ‘Royal Removals’ service celebrates the news of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge moving to Adelaide Cottage in Berkshire this September.

Built using a total of 4,100 LEGO® bricks, The Duke and Duchess can be found outside the staggering 39,000 LEGO brick creation of Windsor Castle alongside their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and their family dog Orla in the Resort’s iconic Miniland attraction.

The royal scene which took two Model Makers 19 hours to complete, portrays The Cambridges and the unpacking of their LEGO brick furniture thanks to a mini ‘Royal Removal’ service team, as the children each made from 20 LEGO bricks, play with the family dog, made from just 15 LEGO bricks.

Guests can see the new royal scene as part of Miniland, where it will be on display complete with grand piano, Grandfather clock and children’s toy box until the end of autumn.

Speaking about creating The Cambridges in miniature form, Paula Laughton, Chief Model Maker at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, said: “The Resort has always had a special connection with the Royal family so to welcome our new neighbours, our talented Model Makers are giving the royals a brick-tastic housewarming present by recreating the family in miniature form.

“The Royal Removal scene will go on display throughout September, and we hope to welcome the Duke and Duchess and their family to the Resort to see their figures very soon!”
