FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – Legoland Resorts is looking for a “junior galaxy explorer” to test a new roller coaster, with a contest taking place in Fort Lauderdale.

The Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale hosted a competition Saturday for young builders to design a Lego spacecraft.

“We’ll be going to several different museums throughout Florida and California looking for a junior galaxy explorer,” said Julie Estrada, Director of Communications for Merlin Entertainments in North America. “The winner of this competition will be the first to ride ‘Galacticoaster’ when it opens at Legoland Florida Resort on February 27th or at Legoland California on March 6th.”

The winners of the competition are expected to be announced next month.
