Well considering how short the track itself is, can’t imagine it being any longer than that?

Might be an omnimover.

It works on rides like Go Gators or Jellikns at Fantasy Island so why couldn't it work on Bluey Coaster
Go-Gators you can be allowed to ride if you fit. Some models aren't too bad space wise, some there's no chance.
That’s entirely on the BBC imo, their standards are clearly below the floor and they’re not putting the appropriate restrictions/targets in contracts which enables AT to cheap out.At this stage, in human or dog years, Bluey is wildly popular and a premium IP that the BBC intends to build a 'lifestyle brand' around.
As such, it feels a bit underwhelming that they're utilising it for this tiny coaster. Perhaps a dark ride could follow.
The perfect balance for Bluey would be an omnimover for capacity that is interactive similar to Buzz lightyear blast at DLP,
So Bluey through the attraction would replicate various stories from tasks like hunts etc with different moveable/interactive props when shot to look behind etc
It caters for the masses and is fun and interactive….
Perhaps I’m in the wrong job but to me that’s what a mass IP needs something that will be a people eater not a 3h wait for a toddler

It does all seem very alike to Mandril Mayhem at Chessie. An odd coaster choice with a poor throughput that was part of a deal in which Merlin needed to build it somewhere without long term thoughts. Looks like the exact same problem is happening again in which what is the company designing this new coaster and are they working a lot with Merlin at this moment in time at the other parks?

I would imagine that Merlin's contract with the BBC allows them first refusal on CBeebies licenced attractions within the UK. It might be that if Merlin do not choose to exercise that right, within a certain window, they lose the exclusivity.
Additionally, Alton Towers may be contractually obliged to only have CBeebies attractions within specified areas / zones, ruling out the option to reuse the 4D cinema, for example.
