Legoland New York Showing Off Innovative Lego Factory Adventure Ride

When the Legoland New York Resort opens in 2021 one of its premier attractions will be the Lego Factory Adventure Ride, a brand new trackless dark ride that will feature first of its kind technology.  Using on-ride tracking technology, the attraction will identify the attributes of riders and map their position in virtual space in order to transform them into Lego Minifigures - allowing them to become a part of the ride!


The attraction is being created through a partnership between Legoland, Holovis (technology provider) and ETF (trackless ride system).  While on the ride visitors will join Professor Brick on a "thrilling and unpredictable adventure through the incredible LEGO Factory, meeting many whimsical characters along the way."

In the middle of the ride the vehicles will spin toward a screen when the big reveal happens, allowing them to see the Lego Minifigure version of each person in the car.  The Minifigures will even move just as the riders in the car do - I can imagine what an amazing experience that will be, especially for younger passengers.  Holovis' technology allows for facial detection that creates the images in less than half a second.


The images in this article were recently released by Legoland New York, showing off what some of the interiors of the Lego Factory Adventure Ride will look like.  For even more of what the attraction will be like, check out the animated video below shared by Attractions Magazine.
