The Beginning

The entrance zone — the giant giraffe, guest services, and the orientation model.

The Beginning is the front door: the brick giraffe, the Big Shop, guest services and stroller rental. It is deliberately calm, keeping the energy past the gate.

The same budgeting conversation applies as at every Legoland — set the souvenir number before entry, because the exit route runs through the shop.

Do not miss

  • The park orientation model
  • Guest services and rentals

The Beginning tips

  • Set the souvenir budget here, not at close.
  • Grab the show schedule — the ski show and the theater pace the day.

Attractions in The Beginning

Coastersaurus

Any height

Roller coaster · 2 min

The dinosaur family woodie — small drops through brick-built prehistory, the natural second coaster after the Dragon.

Coastersaurus is Florida's family wooden coaster, wrapping a landscaped prehistoric garden of animated brick dinosaurs. The wooden-coaster feel scaled to kid size is the design: real structure, real (small) drops, real charm.

Tips for Coastersaurus
  • Ride in the rope-drop window right after the Dragon.
  • Front row for the dinosaurs, back row for the (mild) airtime.
  • The front row is the dinosaur-view seat; the roar timing lands best from there.

Flying School

Any height

Roller coaster · 2 min

The suspended family coaster — hanging trains that swing through the course, Florida's kid version of the big invert style.

Flying School is a suspended family coaster: trains hang beneath the track and swing outward through the banked turns, giving kids the dangling-feet thrill of the big inverted coasters at thoroughly family forces.

Tips for Flying School
  • The swing is the point; let the car do the moving.
  • A natural pairing with Coastersaurus in the morning loop.
  • The swing amplitude builds through the second half — hold the harness lightly and let the car dance.
