Legoland Florida has confirmed that it is closing one of longtime coasters to make way for "future awesomeness."

The Flying School Coaster at Legoland's theme park near Orlando will have its last flight in August – August 16 to be exact, which also happens to be National Roller Coaster Day.

This adrenaline-pumping ride has been open to thrill seekers for 12 years since its opening is 2011. The ride is also one of the original rides at the Cypress Gardens Adventure Park.
