The world-first Bluey coaster at Alton Towers Resort will be officially known as “Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies!”
Bluey fans worldwide have been given a behind the scenes look at the brand-new coaster coming to CBeebies Land in Spring 2026.
In an image released today by Alton Towers Resort, it has been revealed that the world’s-first Bluey-themed coaster, will be known as Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies!
The image gives a taste of what to expect from the attraction, showing Bluey and her younger sister, Bingo riding the coaster dressed as The Grannies, bringing their limitless energy and fun to the ride.
Here Come the Grannies! refers to a fan-favourite episode from the multiple Emmy® Award-winning animated TV show, where Bluey and Bingo play dress-up as the mischievous Grannies Janet and Rita, as they do throughout the series. They're known for their chaotic driving, dance moves - including "flossing" - and causing mischief.
Alongside the new coaster and existing Bluey experiences, including the popular meet-and-greet with Mum (Chilli), Dad (Bandit), Bluey and Bingo and live stage show within Big Fun Showtime, Alton Towers Resort has also announced plans to introduce additional Bluey-themed hotel rooms at the CBeebies Land Hotel.
With these exciting additions, Alton Towers Resort is set to become the ultimate destination for families and Bluey fans alike.
Howard Ebison, Vice President of Alton Towers Resort said:
“We can’t wait to welcome the mischievous and limitless energy of the Grannies to the resort when we open the Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies! this spring.
“Alongside even more bespoke Bluey-themed hotel rooms, we’re excited for the fans to enjoy the new attraction and immerse themselves in the mayhem of the Grannies.”
Natasha Spence, Events Director, Live Entertainment at BBC Studios said,
“We know that whenever the Grannies come out to play, it is a fan-favourite moment for those that love the show.
“We are excited that the energy of these much-loved characters is being brought to life in Bluey’s first-ever coaster at Alton Towers Resort – home to CBeebies Land.”

Alton Towers’ new rollercoaster for 2026, themed around the popular children’s cartoon Bluey, is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the park.
The track is now fully complete and features a striking green finish. The ride layout looks far more thrilling than originally expected, suggesting a fun and energetic experience for guests.
Painting has begun on the station, which is being finished in blue. An elevated exit is also under construction and will pass over part of the ride layout, adding an extra visual element to the attraction.
The building used to access the queue line is looking impressive, with detailed theming now being installed on the roof. A large decorative bone can be seen on top, referencing the family that Bluey is centred around.
Preparations for the queue line appear to be underway, with the old patio area near the Corner Costa Coffee being dug up. Spray-painted markings on the ground indicate where construction will continue.
Although no opening date has been confirmed, anticipation is already building for this brand-new ride.

Exciting progress is underway at Alton Towers, where the brand-new Bluey-themed rollercoaster has officially begun installation. Over the past few days, the lift hill, station track, and airgates for the ride have all been put into place, marking a major milestone in construction.
The coaster features a bright green colour scheme across both the track and supports, giving it a vibrant and family-friendly look that fits perfectly with the Bluey theme.
Work on the theming has also started. A new house structure is currently being built, which is expected to form part of the guest experience—likely as a walkthrough element or a key visual feature of the ride area.

Exciting news from Alton Towers — the station for the world’s first Bluey rollercoaster has now been installed! Alongside it, new foundations have appeared across the site, and interestingly, they hint at a layout that’s more complex than what was shown in the original plans.
From the looks of things, the ride could include a helix or another dynamic feature in the middle section, rather than just a quick up-and-down layout. If that’s the case, this could make for an even more exciting and family-friendly experience!
Even better, it might not be long before we see the first pieces of track going up. And for those keeping an eye on theming — a large scaffolding tower has now appeared toward the end of the site, possibly marking the arrival of the first major themed structure.

Foundations for the brand-new Bluey-themed rollercoaster in CBeebies Land at Alton Towers are progressing well! From small gaps in the construction fence, we can clearly spot the footers being set in place, with the connection points ready for the supports to be anchored to the ground pins.
It’s not easy to get photos of the site from ground level, but if you head up onto Get Set Go Tree Top Adventure, you can catch a brilliant view over the area.
