Rides installed for DFW's new Peppa Pig theme park
Workers have begun installing several rides at the site of the Peppa Pig theme park in North Richland Hills. The park is expected to open later this year.
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas - The new Peppa Pig theme park under construction in North Richland Hills will feature a family-friendly roller coaster, a balloon ride, and a drop ride.
Merlin Entertainments, the same company that’s behind places like Legoland and Sea Life Aquariums, shared photos of workers installing the new rides.
Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster is described as a perfect first roller coaster for kids.
"Little ones and their families can ride with Daddy Pig in the Pig family's iconic red car and go on an unexpected adventure when Mr. Bull's ‘digging up the road’ sends riders on a curvy exploration via Daddy Pig's ‘shortcut,’" the company said.
Meanwhile, Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride will give guests an aerial view of the park and Mr. Bull’s High Strike offers "family-friendly surprise drops."
The theme park will also have other interactive attractions from the world of Peppa Pig including shows, themed play areas, a water play area, and more.
