New Peppa Pig theme park to open next year with rides, attractions and character meet-and-greets

ANOTHER Peppa Pig theme park has been announced - and it's opening next year.

Last year, Peppa Pig Theme Park opened in Orlando last year, as part of the Legoland Florida Resort.

Due to its success, another theme park based on the famous kid's character is opening in Texas.

The state already has Peppa Pig World of Play Dallas, an indoor play centre.

However, the new theme park will be a much larger attraction with rides for older kids.

Matt Proulx, vice president of location based entertainment at Hasbro said: "The success of the Peppa Pig Theme Park has been phenomenal, and we are excited to embark on the journey again with our friends at Merlin to bring another park to the city of North Richland Hills, TX.

"We cannot wait for more guests to create lifelong memories with Peppa and her friends." 

Merlin, who owns Legoland parks, added in a press release: "Families will meet Peppa and her friends as they snort, giggle and play to build their first theme park memories together." 

The new theme park will have a number of rides, attractions, themed playscapes and shows.

Kids will also get to meet all of their famous characters throughout the park.

It hopes to open in 2024, although official dates and ticket prices are yet to be announced.

Rides in the Florida Peppa Pig Theme Park include Daddy Pig's Rollercoaster and Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride.

Other popular attractions include Grandad Dog's Pirate Boat and Grampy Rabbit's Dinosaur Adventure.

Families can also eat at the on-site Miss Rabbit's Dinner with both snacks and meals.

And the UK has its own Peppa Pig attraction at Paulton's Park.

Here are the best theme parks in the UK - including one which was "better than Disneyland".
