Alton Towers Confirms World’s First Bluey Junior Coaster for Spring 2026

The family ride deepens Merlin’s collaboration with BBC Studios to expand Bluey experiences in CBeebies Land.

Overview

  • The officially announced coaster will open in CBeebies Land at Alton Towers, bringing the Australian TV hit to a new family ride experience next spring.
  • Alton Towers says the ride’s name, manufacturer and a precise opening date will be revealed in the coming months.
  • The attraction adds to existing Bluey offerings at the resort, including Heeler family meet-and-greets, a live stage show and Bluey-themed hotel rooms that debuted in May 2024.
  • Site preparation has progressed, with Postman Pat Parcel Post closed and removed in June and a section of Get Set Go Treetop Adventure rerouted following planning work known as Project Sunshine.
  • Merlin and BBC Studios executives hailed the project as the first-ever Bluey rollercoaster, citing the show’s strong UK following with more than 770 million BBC iPlayer streams.
