The Danish theme park is set to get a brand-new attraction after a three-way deal was reached between Hasbro, Merlin Entertainments and the Lego Group.
All three companies have teamed up to create the world’s first Peppa Pig-themed Duplo attraction, which is set to open at Legoland Billund.
According to Blooloop, there will be rides and attractions inspired by the popular children’s TV character at Legoland Billund – although specific details have yet to be released.
A CGI image, which has been released by Merlin Entertainments, shows large Peppa Pig figures and giant building blocks in a Duplo-themed area.
Merlin Entertainments boss, Scott O’Neill, said: “This is an exciting step forward for two of our iconic partners, whose purpose is to entertain and educate through creativity and play.
“We’ve partnered with the Lego Group for over 18 years and the power of the brand, across borders and ages, is unparalleled.
“We’re really proud to bring Hasbro’s Peppa Pig to life with the Duplo brand, beginning with our new Peppa Pig Theme Park in Gunzburg and our Legoland Billund Resort, as our guests make life-long memories and learn through play.”
In addition to having rides and attractions at Legoland Billund, the new Peppa Pig theme park in Germany, which is located next to a Legoland park, is also set to get Peppa Pig Duplo areas.
The three-way deal isn’t connected to Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park.
This isn’t the only new Peppa Pig attraction set to open soon.
While Texas is already home to an indoor play centre based on the popular children’s TV character, it’ll soon have another Peppa Pig attraction to add to its list of sites.
Set in the North Richland Hills near Fort Worth, the Peppa Pig theme park is slated to open later this year.
Last year, the new theme park unveiled several of its rides and attractions, including Daddy Pig’s Rollercoaster.
On the family-friendly rollercoaster, families will be taken on a new shortcut as they ride in Daddy Pig’s red car.
Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride will be another family-friendly rollercoaster at the new theme park, on the ride parkgoers will be launched into the air on an aerial carousel ride.
The new theme park will also have a ride called Grandad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride.
Other rides are said to include Grampy Rabbit’s Dinosaur Adventure, which takes younger parkgoers on a pre-historic quest, and there will also be Mr. Bull’s High Striker.
Younger parkgoers will also be invited to cycle past adventurous landscapes on Peppa’s Pedal Bike Tour and George’s Tricycle Trail.
It hopes to open in 2024, although official dates and ticket prices are yet to be announced.
In 2022, a Peppa Pig Theme Park opened in Orlando as part of the Legoland Florida Resort.
