The world’s first Bluey-themed ride opened at Alton Towers Resort, in Staffordshire, yesterday (March 28), inspired by the “Grannies” episode and taking guests on a fun journey through Bluey’s backyard.

Designed for young families, it’s part of a wider Bluey experience including character meet-and-greets, live shows, and themed hotel rooms.

The highly anticipated launch event saw a number of famous faces joining the fun with their young children - including comedian Katherine Ryan and The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) star Amy Childs.

Speaking of the launch, Howard Ebison, Vice President of Alton Towers Resort said: “Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies! is all about celebrating energy, play and those everyday moments families love about the show.

“Alongside even more bespoke Bluey-themed hotel rooms, we’re delighted that fans can now enjoy the new attraction and immerse themselves in the mayhem of the Grannies.”

Natasha Spence, Events Director, Live Entertainment at BBC Studios said, “We know that whenever the Grannies come out to play, it is a fan-favourite moment for those that love the show.

“We are excited that the energy of these much-loved characters is being brought to life in Bluey’s first-ever coaster at Alton Towers Resort – home to CBeebies Land.”
