[2026] Bluey Coaster in CBeebies Land

To be fair, it does look exactly like the cartoon.

Minus the very real looking people that will be walking around it.

And the cattlepens.

It more to do with the shows visuals than the design of the props.
 
I'm probably totally wrong (as usual), but I wonder whether Alton Towers were spooked by poo-gate happening during the opening of Toxicator last year (which I happened to be in the queue for, unfortunately), and so they are now cautious about launching new rides on opening day in case it goes wrong again?
In my defence (responding to my own post) - history did indeed kind of repeat itself yesterday, because - as with last year's opening day sewage leak with Toxicator - there was yet another plumbing disaster on opening day yesterday (inside Bunker 94) which caused Toxicator to briefly close - although at least it was clean water this time! (see link below at the 42:04 mark)

I realise that my theory is probably far-fetched, but it wouldn't surprise me if AT realise that their opening day staff and maintenance crews often perform poorly, and so opening Bluey a few weeks later may avoid some of these issues (although, as discussed above, it may still have opened late for other reasons, anyway).

And this is relevant to "Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies!" because?
 
With confirmation that Fastrack is indeed coming to Cebeebies Land (why?), I've been thinking about where the FT entrance could be on Bluey;

I'm wondering if that's what the stairs that are the other side of the load platform are for. Unless that's what the ramp is for that's also on the load side, although I thought that might be a wheelchair exit.
 
They'll merge it and make it RAPtrack like some of the other rides. 2 queues instead of 3 makes it easier to batch too.

That image is not entirely accurate. The main and combined FT/RAP entrances are side by side and merge just before the station. There is a wheelchair access route direct to the back of the station.

Yeah I didn't think it was accurate as it only shows one exit.
