The four-acre land of attractions at Paultons Park - home of Peppa Pig World - was originally set to launch on 19th May this year.
Tornado Springs – an Americana-styled land based around a fictional 1950’s midwestern town – will become Paultons Park’s fifth themed land, offering over seven new rides and attractions.
- Storm Chaser - the UK’s first free-spinning roller coaster from MACK Rides.
- Cyclonator - a ‘Discovery 30’ rotating pendulum ride from Zamperla.
- Al's Auto Academy - a driving school attraction from Garmendale.
- Windmill Towers - a pair of family drop rides from Zierer.
- Trekking Tractors - an existing ride with new theming.
- Buffalo Falls - an existing water ride with new theming, already open.
- Rio Grande Train Ride - an existing train ride with new theming.
- Junkyard Junction - a playground for older children.
- Parking Lot Tots - a playground for younger children.
The new area will also include the Route 83 Diner and Al's Shop & Service.
Lawrence Mancey, Assistant Marketing and IT Manager at Paultons Park, has shared photos of several of the new attractions:
