Alton Towers Debuts World’s First Bluey Rollercoaster

The junior coaster targets first-time riders with a 0.9-metre minimum height.

Overview

  • The attraction, which opened Saturday, March 28, in Staffordshire, drew 90‑minute queues soon after gates opened as early riders praised a fast but friendly experience.
  • Set in CBeebies Land, the ride recreates the fan‑favourite Grannies episode with the Heeler family home, backyard scenes, musical cues, and hands‑on play zones in the queue.
  • Trains seat 28 passengers and complete two laps at about 24 mph with gentle drops and turns designed for young children who want a step up from kiddie rides.
  • Engineers delivered the family brief with a 0.9‑metre height limit and deep foundations that used more than 550 cubic metres of concrete and about 55 tonnes of steel.
  • The launch rolled out Bluey and Bingo character appearances, CBeebies presenters, and celebrity guests, and it anchors a wider Bluey offering that includes live shows and themed hotel rooms.
