Ever dreamed of building your own superfast race car and then actually racing it? Well, get ready, because in 2026, LEGOLAND New York is opening an awesome new attraction called LEGO Ferrari Build & Race!
Imagine stepping into the world of Ferrari, but with a LEGO twist. More than just admiring sleek cars from afar, you’ll get your hands on the bricks and see your creation zip around the track. It’s a blast for anyone who loves LEGOs and the roar of a supercar engine.
Your Own Ferrari Creation Station
When you get to the LEGO Ferrari Build & Race attraction, you’ll find different areas to explore. The first place you’ll want to check out is the Pit Stop Garage. This is where you can see a real, life-size LEGO Ferrari car. How cool is that?
You can even hop into the driver’s seat and get a feel for what it’s like to be behind the wheel of such an iconic car. While you’re there, you can learn a little bit about Ferrari’s history in racing, which is pretty neat.
Build, Test, and Go!
After checking out the life-size car, it’s time to get your hands dirty in the Build and Test Zone. Here, you become part of the Pit Crew! You’ll get to use tons of LEGO bricks to build your very own Ferrari-inspired race car.
Think about what would make a car go fast. Should it be sleek and low? Or maybe have big spoilers? This is your chance to experiment. Once your masterpiece is built, you can test its speed and performance on special jump and race ramps. It’s a great way to see if your design ideas actually work!
The Ultimate Race Day
The most exciting part is probably the Race Track Zone. This is where your LEGO creation meets digital technology. You’ll scan your car into the system, and then you can customize it even more on a screen.
Then, it’s time for the real race! You’ll compete against other people’s LEGO Ferraris on a virtual version of the famous Pista di Fiorano racetrack. The big moment arrives: who built the fastest car and who has the quickest lap time? It’s like a real race, but with LEGOs!
Fun for the Littlest Racers Too!
What if you’re a bit too young for some bigger rides, or maybe you just prefer building with bigger bricks? No problem! There’s also a DUPLO Zone. This area is designed for LEGOLAND New York’s youngest drivers.
Here, you can use the larger DUPLO bricks to create your own awesome designs. It’s a fantastic way for even the smallest car enthusiasts to get involved in the fun and build their own speedy vehicles.
Why This is So Cool
This new attraction brings together a few awesome things: creativity, engineering, and the thrill of racing. Building something with LEGOs is fun, but being able to test it and then race it digitally adds a whole new level of excitement. It’s a chance to use your imagination and problem-solving skills.
Think about it, like building with LEGOs at home. You might build a car, but you can’t really race it against your friends’ cars on a digital track. This attraction lets you do just that! It’s a way to bring your creations to life and see them in action.
The LEGO Ferrari Build & Race attraction is all about hands-on fun. You get to be the designer, the builder, and the racer. From brainstorming your design to watching it tear around the track, you’re in the driver’s seat the whole way through.
Get Ready for 2026!
So, mark your calendars for 2026! LEGOLAND New York is getting ready to open this incredible new LEGO Ferrari Build & Race experience. It’s going to be a place where creativity meets speed, and where everyone, from the youngest builders to the biggest Ferrari fans, can have an amazing time.
Get ready to start your engines and unleash your inner race car designer!
