Postman Pat Parcel Post

Ride Experience

Postman Pat's Parcel Post

You don't have to arrive early in the morning, just as day is dawning, to make your way to Greendale and meet everyone's favourite postman and his cat Jess. You're in charge of Pat's famous van as you travel around Greendale to meet your favourite characters and deliver a load of parcels as you help Pat out on his delivery route.

Your journey begins in the queue-line, when you start your quest by guessing what sort of parcels you'll be delivering today. Once you've entered the sorting office, the van will soon be loaded and you start your deliveries. It looks like Pat's got a very busy route and you're sure to meet lots of friends on the way.

On the way, press the right buttons at the right time, so Postman Pat knows what parcels to deliver when. Pat might even take you on a detour to see his delivery helicopter, though today it's having some work done by Ted, so you'll have to stick to the van for delivering the rest of your parcels.

When he's finished his round, Postman Pat likes nothing more than to take his van on a spin around CBeebies Land, so watch out for him as he drives around the area and says hello; if you're lucky you might even get to stroke Jess the Cat.

Attraction History

Postman Pat Parcel Post was a brand-new ride for 2014 that took the place of Old MacDonald's Tractor Ride, which operated in the area from 1995 to 2013.

CBeebies Land Construction

Despite the ride taking a very similar path to the Tractor Ride, the original attraction was completely removed to make-way for the new Postman Pat's Parcel Post in CBeebies Land, with all new vehicles and ride workings being used. You might however recognise some areas of the roadway, as in many places this is the same as the route the Tractors used to travel along.

It seems that Postman Pat won't be staying at Alton Towers much longer, as the park have recently submitted plans for Project Sunshine, which will see a new junior coaster replace Postman Pat Parcel Post.
