As you all probably know by now, Peppa Pig World is the new themed area exclusive to Paultons Park in Hampshire, UK. Peppa Pig is an award winning British cartoon show aimed at one to six year olds. The show airs in 180 territories across the world.

The Peppa Pig World concept originated in 2009 from “meet and greet” events which have been held regularly at Paultons Park since 2007. As the events proved popular, the company behind Peppa Pig, Astley Baker Davies, and Paultons built up a relationship and the idea was conceived.

Peppa Pig World was designed by RMA Themed Attractions (RMATA) in conjunction with Paultons Park. RMATA also designed Thomasland at Drayton Manor Park and the Jorvik Viking Centre in York. The new area took 13 months to build.

Surely all of this comes together to form a winning combination? Ian and Nic went to find out…

There are seven rides in Peppa Pig World. Five of the rides are designed by Metallbau Emmeln (ME), the other two by Zierer, both German manufactures. Paultons Park already operate some Zierer rides; Dragon Ride, Kontiki and Wave Swinger. Each ride type was chosen with through-put, longevity, engineering, theme and most important, fun, in mind. Most of the popular Peppa Pig characters have their own themed ride.
