[2026] Bluey Coaster in CBeebies Land

[flyingguitar]

I dont understand this train design at all? Its almost like it’s being designed by someone who does not go to theme parks.

Sitting at the front of the train and being the driver is the most fun for kids (and adults), so why take that away. Why not have Bluey and Gran at the back if you must have them in the ride car?

Why reduce capacity by two for what is already going to be a low capacity ride?

I get that you always have a slightly blocked view from people in front, but this is just, I don’t get it.

are you new to themeparks?

this isn't uncommon to have the lead car a big theming element

having a lead car be theming, etc is very common and depending on the configuration of the ride, it probably will be a trailered design where apart from the first car (this one with the theming) the rest only have 2 sets of wheels and are attached to the car in front by a ball joint similar to a trailer, this means the first car usually has to be larger which would look odd without anything up front and difficult to fit some seats in the spot (it also can have an impact on the forces of the rides, as the front car is a solid car it can affect how it takes corners, often they will have only rotation axis (in roll), this can be seen on wickerman which shares the same design, but they can have seats such as the smiler or nemesis).

given the design of this ride, the train will probably be quite long meaning only a few people would actually be impacted, and the theming has been designed to come alongside the ride over being in front of the riders meaning it probably wouldn't have much impact on the visibility of the theming, thrill rides you would want to see forward more, or rides such as DK at universal but this isn't too critical.

Zierer family coaster trains are ugly as sin so I’m just impressed they made this one look actually decent.
