Alton Towers: New drone footage reveals Bluey the Ride at CBeebies Land ahead of its March 28 Opening

Excitement is building at Alton Towers as brand-new drone footage offers the first full look at Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies!—just days before its official opening on March 28, 2026.

The aerial preview showcases the colourful new attraction nestled inside CBeebies Land, giving families a “kid’s-eye view” of what promises to be one of the most talked-about UK theme park additions this spring.

A World-First Bluey Coaster

This isn’t just another children’s ride—it’s the world’s first rollercoaster themed to Bluey, the hugely popular animated series.

Designed specifically for younger guests and their families, the ride brings to life the fan-favourite episode “Here Come the Grannies!”, where Bluey and Bingo transform into the chaotic Janet and Rita.

The drone footage reveals:

• A bright, family-friendly coaster layout
• Themed scenery based on the Heeler family home
• A winding track through Bluey’s backyard
• Playful storytelling elements inspired by the show

Unlike thrill rides elsewhere in the park, this attraction focuses on gentle twists, accessibility, and immersive theming—perfect for pre-schoolers experiencing their first coaster.

More Bluey at Alton Towers

The new coaster is just part of a wider Bluey expansion at the resort. Visitors can also enjoy:

• Meet-and-greets with Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli
• A live Bluey show inside Big Fun Showtime
• Themed rooms at the CBeebies Land Hotel

This makes Alton Towers an increasingly strong choice for families planning their first theme park trip—especially those with young children obsessed with the show.

The ride officially opens on Saturday, March 28, 2026, just in time for the Easter holidays—one of the busiest periods of the year for UK attractions
