Flying School Roller Coaster at LEGOLAND Florida

LEGOLAND Florida Resort has announced that it will be closing its “Flying School Roller Coaster” later this summer on August 16, 2023, which is also “National Roller Coaster Day.”

The steel, inverted, family coaster was originally known as “Swamp Thing” when it first opened in 2004 at Cypress Gardens. When LEGOLAND Florida took over Cypress Gardens in 2011, it was renamed the “Flying School Roller Coaster.”

“One of the coasters original to Cypress Gardens Adventure Park, the inverted, steel coaster allows guests to take flight into the Legoland skies. This summer, it soars through the clouds one last time to make way for future awesomeness,” the theme park said in a media release.

“National Roller Coaster Day marks its farewell journey, so celebrate by taking one last spin on this epic flight of thrills!”
