- Tuesday May 7th 2024
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (May 7, 2024) - To the delight of families throughout North Texas, Merlin Entertainments is revealing the installation of the first three rides at PEPPA PIG Theme Park in North Richland Hills, Texas. The colorful and kid-friendly attractions include Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster, Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride and Mr. Bull's High Striker.
This construction milestone marks the lead-up to opening day later this year. North Richland Hills will host the second PEPPA PIG Theme Park in the United States based on the beloved Hasbro preschool franchise designed for preschool children and their families. Merlin Entertainments, a global leader in location-based, family entertainment will own and operate the park.
PEPPA PIG Theme Park will offer approximately one hundred full- and part-time positions. The theme park will host a recruitment fair in the Dallas-Fort Worth area before the grand opening. Prospective applicants can attend the fair in person or explore employment opportunities at Merlin Careers, Peppa Pig Theme Park Dallas-Fort Worth or on our social media pages, Facebook and Instagram.
“It has been exciting to watch PEPPA PIG Theme Park being built in North Richland Hills,” said North Richland Hills Mayor Oscar Trevino. “I know many families are looking forward to visiting and building their first theme park memories together. This world-class theme park will provide year-round fun for little ones and is a great addition to the many family-friendly amenities already in our community, including NRH2O Family Water Park which is right next door. Furthermore, the opening of the park will contribute to our already strong economy, bringing more employment opportunities to young adults and other residents who are looking for jobs in this area. We could not be more thrilled about the opening of PEPPA PIG Theme Park in North Richland Hills.”
Aboard Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster, little ones and their families can ride with Daddy Pig in the Pig family's iconic red car and go on an unexpected adventure when Mr. Bull's "digging up the road" sends riders on a curvy exploration via Daddy Pig's "shortcut". This family-friendly thrill ride is the perfect first roller coaster to build confidence in little visitors.
Families can fly high above the clouds with Peppa on Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride! Little ones can enjoy the fantastic views of PEPPA PIG Theme Park from the very top in this family-friendly aerial carousel ride.
Mr. Bull's High Striker ride allows visitors to test their strength. When the hammer hits the bell, the ride lifts straight up to the sky and performs a family-friendly surprise drop.
Additional rides, themed playscapes, a water play area and more oinktastic experiences suitable for little ones six and under, and their families, will soon join these kid-friendly rides.
