Hippity Hop
Peter Rabbit has bounced into Alton Towers and is inviting young guests on an adventure. At the bottom of the garden path, a pair of quaintly themed towers are waiting to bounce guests to the sky aboard this fun pink-knuckle ride.
Peter Rabbit and Lily Bobtail are on the hunt for Benjamin Bunny in Mr McGregor’s garden; perhaps a jumping into the air will help them spot their friend.
Construction
In December 2018, Alton Towers submitted a planning application to install a pair of Junior Drop Towers in CBeebies Land, located between Tree Fu Tom Training Academy and Mr. Bloom's allotment. The new ride is similar in design to The Frog Hopper, but each tower has an extra seat, accommodating up to 14 guests per ride.
Whilst new to Alton Towers, the ride originally opened in 2014 operating as Hip & Hop at Abenteuer Park Oberhausen, another Merlin attraction attached to a Sealife Centre in Germany. As a nod to their original name, during construction the attraction was known as “Project Hip Hop”, until it was announced as Peter Rabbit Hippity Hop in March 2019.
The plans also included a new queue line for Mr. Bloom's Allotment, as well as the removal of the neighbouring buggy park and installation of an operator's cabin with associated theming.
