The world’s first Peppa Pig theme park attraction, Peppa Pig World, is now bigger and better, and Paultons Park invited us to the grand preview event.

Fans of the TV series will be snorting with delight when the expansion with 2 new rides, The Queen’s Flying Coach Ride and Grampy Rabbit’s Sailing Club, is available to the public from Wednesday 16th May 2018.

Construction starts on the new £37 million Gulliver's Valley family theme park resort in Yorkshire which is due to open in 2020.

The 333-acre site was purchased from Rotherham Council back in 2015 and the first buildings will start appearing from June.

Plans for 9 new rides at Dreamland in Margate have been revealed, including a 39 metre high 'shoot and drop' tower, and other additions from the ride manufacturer Zamperla.

The new rides from Zamperla are to be a Flash Tower called The Dreamland Drop, Twister Coaster, Midi Discovery, Samba Balloon, Magic Bikes, Endeavour, Air Race and Rockin’ Tug. A restored 1920's ride, the Vintage Caterpillar, will also be new.

There are brand new rides and attractions coming to many of the UK's most popular theme parks in 2018.

New additions are coming to Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, LEGOLAND Windsor, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Paultons Park.

If you are planning days out at theme parks in the UK this year then these are the new rides and attractions that should be at the top of your list...

A new themed animal attraction, Little Africa, has opened at Paultons Park - just in time for February Half Term in 2018.

Little Africa is home to a number of animals native to the continent, including fennec fox, African crested porcupines, meerkats, Savannah monitor lizards and giant train millipedes, as well as one of the largest rodents in Africa, the Gambian pouched rat, and also the smallest, the African pygmy mouse.
