Fans of the Heeler family will soon be able to enjoy a Bluey-themed rollercoaster at Alton Towers, and a sneak peek shows what fans of the show are in for.

The cartoon dog family, who are much loved by young fans and secretly adored by many parents, are already fixtures of CBeebies Land, with a live stage show and popular meet-and-greet. However, this rollercoaster will be the first Bluey-themed ride in the world, and puts the show alongside CBeebiesfavourites such as Peter Rabbit and Hey Duggee.

The rollercoaster's name has been revealed as Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies!, and a teaser image shows Bluey and Bingo dressed in their granny costumes. The grannies - Janet and Rita - ride in their car up front with several rollercoaster cars behind them.

The name of the ride is in reference to a season one episode of the show, Grannies, where Bingo and Bluey dress up as mischievous old ladies and cause chaos throughout the house, learn to floss, and manage to crash their car. Their cry of "Here come the grannies!" signals the start of the game and prepares their parents to play along.

Natasha Spence, Events Director of 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.”

The live stage show will continue at the Big Fun Showtime area, where kids can get a photo with Bingo, Bluey, Bandit, and Chilli after the show. And Bluey superfans will be pleased to hear that the Alton Towers Resort is adding additional Bluey-themed rooms to the CBeebies Land Hotel.

The Bluey room is modelled after the Heeler family's colourful home and includes pictures of the family on the walls. Sleeping up to five, kids have their own area with bunkbeds that looks just like Bluey and Bingo's bedroom, so they can enjoy a fun sleepover experience. Even the bathroom has a Bluey theme for extra fun bath times for your own mucky pups.

Families of up to seven can also book a Bluey suite, which has a separate kids' sleeping area, plus a spacious themed playroom area where the kids can pretend they are on a playdate at the Heeler house. Staying at the CBeebies Land Hotel also gives you access to a range of activities and entertainment including a kids' disco in the evening, plus all stays include a full English breakfast buffet in the morning.
