The world’s tallest Lego minifigure has been unveiled as the countdown continues to Legoland Windsor Resort’s new roller coaster, Minifigure Speedway.

The minifigure, called Roxie, weighs over 6 tonnes and is a gigantic 30ft tall.

Roxie will be the official mascot of the new Minifigure Speedway coaster, the world’s first Lego duelling coaster featuring Team Legends and Team Allstars cars that race forwards and in reverse.

Helen Bull, Divisional Director at the Legoland Windsor Resort, said: “It’s a big day for all the team at the Resort to see the world’s tallest minifigure, Roxie, take pride of place in our new attraction, Minifigure Speedway. There’s nowhere else in the world you can see Roxie, she’s entirely bespoke to us here at Legoland Windsor – we can’t wait for everyone to see her!”

Hannah ‘Phiz’ Phizacklea, Lead Creative on Minifigure Speedway at Legoland Windsor Resort said: “The unveiling of Roxie as the world’s tallest Lego minifigure is a dream come true for me. Growing up playing with Lego and visiting the park, it feels very special to have been part of the team that dreamed up an authentic Lego character.

“Roxie is a strong female role model, and it was important we created an iconic character that children can look up to – literally! Minifigure Speedway brings a real thrill element to the park especially for older kids who will love the competitiveness of racing against each other as one of the All Stars or Legends.”

The £10m Minifigure Speedway will reach speeds of up to 35mph. The duelling coaster design has been inspired by the world’s great Speedway circuits and features state-of-the-art technology and a dynamic dual-track layout.
