Peppa Pig fans can soon visit a brand new theme park celebrating Peppa and her friends complete with rides, attractions and shows for little thrill-seekers to enjoy.
We're talking FIVE rollercoasters and rides that are toddler-friendly, seven themed play areas, a water play area, and character shows too. Then of course, there'll be plenty of opportunities to meet Peppa and her friends at character meet and greets.
Highlights will include Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster, a gentle attraction for little ones ready to go on their first ride, the Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride aerial carousel, Grandad Dog's Pirate Boat Ride, Grampy Rabbit's Dinosaur Adventure where you sit on little vehicles and meet friendly dinosaurs, as well as Mr. Bull's High Striker which is essentially a bouncing ride.
There will also be a cycle trail for little ones on pedal bikes, and a 'muddy puddles' splash pad with the likes of spouting fountains, slides.
The new theme park is set to open later this year (Peppa Pig Theme Park/Merlin Entertainments)The new theme park is currently under construction in Fort Dallas Worth, Texas, but it's due to open its doors later this year. It will act as a sister park to the existing Peppa Pig theme park in Florida, and sit near an existing indoor attraction that already celebrates Peppa and her friends.

If you're hoping to tick it off the bucket list, getting to Fort Dallas Worth is fairly simple as you can book direct flights from the UK with the likes of British Airways and American Airlines.
Of course the USA isn't exactly a quick hop away for Brits, but the good news is that if you are looking for a Peppa-themed day out, Paultons Park in Hampshire has a Peppa Pig World which includes a few gentle rides for little ones.
Grampy Rabbit's Dinosaur Adventure will be one of the rides on offer (Peppa Pig Theme Park/Merlin Entertainments)While it's not an entire theme park, it does have some similar offerings as the US attractions such as Peppa's Big Balloon Ride and George's Dinosaur Adventure Ride, as well as meet and greets.
Luckily, there are plenty of news rides and attractions at UK theme parks opening in 2024 to get excited about. For example Thorpe Park is set to open Hyperia, where riders will be taken 72m above the ground, then plunged down towards the ground at a frightening 80mph.
Meanwhile, Legoland is getting a new ride set to be its fastest yet, Minifigure Speedway. From Spring 2024 the duelling coaster will see Team Legends and Team Allstars cars race forwards and in reverse against one another to determine who is the winner, reaching speeds of 34pmh.
Another family-friendly park with a new opening is Drayton Manor Resort, which has previously revealed a new coaster is opening in 2024 although they've remained tight-lipped about exactly what will be on offer for families.
