[2026] Bluey Coaster in CBeebies Land

Also with Alton Towers its difficult to see any of it from outside the park, Alton Towers really is in its own area you cannot see any rides unless your in the park there are some exceptions but for the most part not many close ups you can get
 
I'm thinking it's the Force One layout. Supports for the lift appear to match previous installs:

It's ever so slightly a better layout than the Force Zero.

I’m not even convinced it’s a Force One either, I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the final layout is, as I’m sure it’ll be complete in the next couple of weeks.

Kind of surprised that this might be more similar to Runaway Mine Train in terms of scale than Octonauts. With the Bluey IP too, it seems like this additions might slightly expand the age demographic of CBeebies Land ever so slightly. A lot of the attractions at the moment are catered towards 3-6 year olds, whereas this might push the demographics up to 8 years old. Will definitely make a family trip with younger and slightly older children more appealing.

On a side note, since this very much looks like a Zierer Force, does anyone know the height restriction for the ride model? I did Rebalder earlier this year but honestly can’t remember the height restriction. If it’s 1m+ then that’s definitely a bit restrictive for CBeebies Land.

Indy-Blitz at Heide Park is a Force 1 and has a minimum height restriction of 1 metre and four years of age.

I still think they would have been much better off just retheming the Postman Pat ride system to Bluey, as literally anyone could ride it, unlike a coaster.

Bluey is the world's hottest children's IP. I would imagine that several different stake holders demanded that this be a new attraction, rather than a reskin of an existing attraction.

We've waxed lyrical for the past few years on how the casual visitor, and even many Thoosies, do no count or see Nemesis Reborn, Toxicator, Nemesis Sub-Terra and The Curse at Alton Manor as new attractions (despite the latter two literally being brand new constructions). It would have been foolish for Merlin to reskin the Postman Pat system for this IP.

That's not to say that I disagree with your point about having an attraction which more people can ride than not, but I do disagree with yet another reskin.
 
Bluey is a sure fire winner, a whole Bluey land would transform the park, if it were possible. The show is big enough to sustain a land like CBeebies or Walliams all on its own imo.

But that doesn’t seem likely, or even possible, so this singular attraction will do for now.
 
That looks very Zierer to me.

I don’t think it’s a Force One layout, however. The lift hill is nearly 30ft tall, and the Force Zero and One are under 20ft, if I’m remembering correctly.

Unless they’ve upscaled either of those layouts, I’m thinking it’ll be a Custom Force.

Its RCDB page has been updated to state Zierer as the manufacturer and Force as the model. No number though, so it's probably unknown or a custom layout like you say.

unknown - Alton Towers (Alton, Staffordshire, England, United Kingdom)
