Peppa Pig theme park to open at Legoland Florida T
he World’s First Peppa Pig Theme Park will open in 2022 at Legoland Florida Resort. This all-
new stand-alone theme park will feature multiple rides, interactive attractions, themed play-scapes, and water play areas, complete with “muddy puddles” and fun live shows daily, all based on instantly recognisable locations from the popular Peppa Pig brand. Unlimited Florida sunshine and
wonderful weather will allow this new theme park to operate year-round. A separately ticketed park, Annual Passes to
Peppa Pig Theme Park will be available as stand-alone memberships or inclusive passes that will also grant admission to Legoland Theme Park, Legoland Water Park, and other regional Merlin Entertainments attractions. Merlin Entertainments has an exclusive
multi-territory licensing agreement with Hasbro, owner of the Peppa Pig brand, to build and operate the Peppa Pig attractions, targeted at the preschool market, as part of its broader strategy to engage in partnerships with some of the world’s most popular brands.
Three new rides coming to Water Safari Resort
Construction is back under way at Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge, New York with the building of three new rides. The new rides are Mamba Strike, Serengeti Stampede, and Killermanjaro’s Revenge, all from ProSlide Technologies. Serengeti Stampede replaces Serengeti
Surf Hill. It’s a new 293 foot (89 m) long four lane mat racer. The vision of this ride evokes the racing and playful nature of animals that stampede through the Serengeti in Africa. Many guests were sad to see the legacy
ride “Killermanjaro” go, so what better way than to come back bigger and better as Killermanjaro’s Revenge, while showcasing the original speed slide at Water Safari! Killermanjaro’s Revenge is a 207 foot long (63 m) speed slide that drops guests through the floor into the slide and zooms them to the finish in one long drop. Mamba Strike is a 285 foot (87 m) enclosed body slide that loops around
Serengeti Stampede after the trapdoor floor opens and drops guests onto the slide. Mamba Strike is named after a venomous snake that originated in Africa. All three rides are made of fibreglass
material replacing the legacy slides that were made from foam. The Mamba Strike and Killermanjaro’s Revenge use Skybox technology where the trapdoor floor unexpectedly opens and drops the riders onto the slide. Located next to the Curse of the Silverback on the Water Safari Island, all three new rides will continue the safari theme that was established years ago with the inception of Water Safari in 1988. Enchanted Forest Water Safari is New York’s
largest water theme park with more than 50 rides and attractions, including 32 water rides. The park also features classic amusement
rides for all ages, fun food, exciting games, storybook characters, a family circus show and much more.
Michigan’s Adventure adds Camp Snoopy
Michigan’s Adventure is getting ready to open both of its Muskegon County amusement parks for the first time since the pandemic gripped Michigan. The amusement park plans to welcome its first visitors of the season on May 29. When the doors open, so will a new children’s area, Camp
Snoopy. It features five family-friendly rides and playground, including Camp Bus, Beagle Scout Lookout, Pig Pen’s Mud Buddies, Peanuts Trailblazers, and Woodstock Express, all from Zamperla, and Beagle Scout Acres, a play area. Woodstock Express is a family roller coaster with plenty of ups
and downs; Beagle Scout Lookout, a version of a colourful hot air balloon that floats high in the sky; Mud Buggies is an all-terrain vehicle ride; Camp Bus, a fun family ride takes passengers soaring up and down and all around on a wacky bus with Snoopy in the drivers’ seat. Aboard Trail Blazers, riders will buckle in and zoom around a track, like an off-road expedition. In addition, the new Beagle Scout Acres will feature a large climb-and-play structure with lots of interactive features and things to climb.
