LEGOLAND New York Resort is giving guests a fun way to groove while they move when visiting the park this summer with the addition of its newest attraction: The Minifigure Skyflyer. Opening summer 2024, the new gondola-style ride offers an interactive new way to travel between themed lands and not have to walk up and down that hill! If you like the disco elevators inside the Legoland Hotel, you’re going to love the Minifigure Skyfler. Seven pods with signature tunes and dance floors fly groups of ten over LEGOLAND, all with Minifigures running the attraction and partying right along, too.

Minifigure Skyflyer Continues Trend of Interactive Rides
LEGOLAND New York guests can expect a fully immersive, interactive experience on the Minifigure Skyflyer from queuing to disembarking. Prior to boarding, guests can help “charge” the cable car batteries through hand-powered cranks then follow the rainbow road before reaching the boarding platform’s disco-themed dance floor. Complete with LEGO® brick disco ball lights, the dance floor invites families to show off their most imaginative dance moves to help the Minifigure Skyflyer truly fly!
Before boarding, guests are greeted by the Resort’s famous minifigures who tell the story of how they designed and built the new Minifigure Skyflyer – but they need guests’ help to make it fly. Once in flight, families can use their imaginations to help “power” the ride through movement as they dance while traveling across the park with the best views over MINILAND and more – all from the sky!
Once aboard one of seven individually themed Party Pods, ranging from pirates to space to disco, it’s time to partake in the in-flight interactivity features. Guests will learn how to speak like a pirate, talk in a space alien language or participate in a sing-along all while flying through the sky. All pods are ADA accessible and seat up to ten people. It’s like Disney’s Skyliner but more interactive.
“There’s a lot to enjoy at LEGOLAND New York, but it’s a big Resort and our fans asked us for more ways to move easily from the upper and lower levels of the Park,” said Divisional Director of LEGOLAND New York Stephanie Johnson. “We take our guests feedback seriously and the Minifigure Skyflyer gives them a way to do exactly that while igniting creativity, sparking imagination, and inspiring movement through disco and dance.”
The Leitner-Poma sky ride will travel from behind the carousel on Brick Street at the top of the hill over a section of Miniland down to the Lego Pirates section at the bottom of the hill.
Legoland New York is proving to be one of the best theme parks at listening to guest feedback and making quick additions. Many of the items on our “wish list of improvements” from our first visit have already been remedied. Legoland New York opened in May 2021 and has already seen substantial improvements and additions:
- more paths and a hub in the center of the park to make navigating easier
- more stairs and added bathrooms
- a water playground
- Ocean Explorer, a swinging ship ride
