Peppa Pig World
manufactured by Metallbau Emmeln in Germany and supplied through the company’s representative ARC bv of the Netherlands, along two others from fellow Germany company Zierer, supplied through that company’s representative JN Leisure and Entertainment. Initial ground works began on the project at Easter
2010 and continued throughout the summer of that year. The rides began arriving in September/October 2010 and landscaping began in the October. The extremely bad weather during the winter resulted in the loss of a month’s work but the project opened on time at Easter this year, having taken a total of two years from conception to completion. Significantly, RMA and ARC worked together on the Thomas Land project too and it is a partnership which is developing
considerable expertise in creating themed areas that recreate the IP elements in excellent form and to the smallest of detail in the key areas of design, theming and choice of ride hardware. “The main challenge is getting to the soul of the product
and creating the right feeling,” explained RMA’s Rick Matthews. “You almost have to get down on your knees and imagine what the kids themselves will see. There’s an awful lot to consider and to think about. One fault can spoil the magic. But there also has to be compromises as far as health and safety and operational issues are concerned.
