THE FUN WILL HAVE TO WAIT

The Peppa Pig Theme Park was slated to debut in Texas this year.

However, Merlin Entertainment has announced that the opening has been postponed until 2025, according to Plane Attractions .

The park is being constructed near Fort Worth, in the town of North Richland Hills.

There are multiple Peppa Pig theme parks around the world, but this will be the second of its kind to open in the US.

Created with small children in mind, the park will be home to plenty of interactive attractions.

Various rides, themed playscapes, and water play areas are also in the works.

ROLL WITH IT

The whole family will be able to get in on the fun with Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster.

The thrill ride is meant for junior visitors who will enjoy twists and turns while cruising at speeds up to 16 miles per hour.

Recognizable characters from the popular show will also come to life in live daily shows.

To add to the fun, spectacles will even be placed on “instantly recognizable locations.”

“Everyone appreciates the energy surrounding the launch and is focused on ensuring the delivery of exceptional and memorable experiences for valued guests,” said a spokesperson.

More information on the exact opening date and ticketing will be made public soon.

Merlin holds a multi-territory licensing agreement with Hasbro over the use of the cartoon brand, with the operator holding rights to build and operate attractions.

There are even international Peppa Pig parks open in Britain, Germany, and Italy — Peppa is a British show, after all.

MORE PARKS TO COME

The Peppa Pig theme park isn’t the only new attraction coming to Texas.

A Universal Kids Resort is slated to open the following year, in 2026.

It will be Universal’s first-ever park designed for families with young children.

The space will feature lands focused on various themes of the brand.

There will be a range of attractions, including food and beverage options and character meet and greets.

The resort will also feature a hotel with hundreds of rooms.
