Merlin announced this week that North America’s second Peppa Pig Theme Park is coming to Texas in 2024. It will be located in North Richland Hills in the Dallas-Forth Worth area.
According to USA Today, the company said in a statement: “North Texas is growing and vibrant – Merlin Entertainments is excited to have the opportunity to add a world-class entertainment experience to residents and visitors alike,”
The first Peppa Pig Theme Park opened in Winter Haven in Florida on February 24, 2022. Since its launch in 2004, the Peppa Pig TV series has exploded in popularity and there have been multiple series broadcast in more than 180 countries. The Peppa Pig World land at Paulton’s Park in the UK opened in 2011 with nine rides and other attractions for young children.
We expect this recently announced second Peppa Pig Theme Park which is coming to Texas in 2024 to be very similar park to the first Peppa Pig Theme Park in White Haven. It will be aimed at pre-school children and their slightly older siblings and will feature rides, live shows, character interactions, themed play areas and water-play areas.
The rides and play areas, which are based on Peppa herself, members of her family and her friends, will likely include Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster, Grampy Rabbits Dinosaur Adventure and Grandad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride. Other attractions may include Muddy Puddles Splash Pad which derives from Peppa’s favorite pastime in the TV series – “jumping up and down in muddy puddles”. Everything will be instantly recognisable to fans of the cartoon series.
Back in January, Universal announced its plans to open a new theme park in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, Texas. You can see all the details of this by reading our recent article, Everything We Know About the Experimental New Universal Texas Theme Park.
