Due to work schedules we couldn’t make it to Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the start of the 2022 season, so the season started at Paultons Park for us!
We went on Friday 4th March and it was a really quiet day. There were no crowds at all through the day, and even Peppa Pig World was dead. This meant it was a good opportunity to visit the attractions here for the first time, as well as re-riding all the other excellent attractions in the other areas of the park.

I’d contacted the park on Twitter about their policy on recording on ride videos, and subject to ride operators approval, the park allows you to take cameras on board. So long as it’s mounted safely and doesn’t threaten the safe operation of attractions.
I had my GoPro chest mounted for most of the roller coasters and clamped on for others. The videos I took are on my Youtube Channel, but I could use a bit of practice!
As for our day, we started on Storm Chaser and got a front row, and immediately followed by a back row. We could have ridden back to back all day but we had a couple of rides and moved on.

Next we rode Trekking Tractors before heading off towards Lost Kingdom to get rides in on Flight of the Pterosaur and Velociraptor. At the time I didn’t know that the park would stay so quiet all day so we did the bigger rides first, just incase!

Once we’d done with Lost Kingdom and done a few time lapse videos and onride POVs, we went over to Cobra and had a ride on the parks Gerstlauer Bobsled coaster before heading off to Peppa Pig World.

Peppa Pig World
Now I’ll be the first to admit that I really don’t care much for Peppa Pig. I think there are much better childrens shows such as Bluey, Thomas the Tank Engine and Postman Pat. However, I think that Paultons have taken the world of Peppa Pig and brought it to life in an excellent way, as with all other areas of their park.

The ride selection is quite decent, with there being 9 rides to ride and a few other attractions here and there. The ride lineup consists of Metallbau Emmeln, Zierer and Mack Rides installations, ranging from tracked rides, to big wheel style attractions.
All the ride vehicles and gondolas are themed to Peppa Pig which is in keeping with the other areas of the park, and it keeps the immersion up. It is really well done, clean and very pleasant on the eye.

Standout attractions include Windy Towers, a Metallbau Emmeln Flying Wheel and Peppas Big Balloon Ride, which is a Zierer Balloon Tower. Both give great views over the area and have good cycles. Windy Towers especially due in part to the way it loads guests meaning you get plenty of time to look around.

Of course I’m really not the intended demographic for Peppa Pig World, Thomas Land or CBeebies Land, but on a quiet day they offer something a little different and a much calmer set of attractions to break up the other larger rides.
I’m once again very impressed with what Paultons have done here, the quality is top notch and we both had a great time in Peppa Pig world despite it being aimed at young children! Excellent work!
Overall, we had another great day at Paultons, but won’t be back here until October for their Halloween event, so Farmyard Flier will have to wait until then!
