TowersStreet facebook has some images of the area looking a little worse for wear. The park needs major TLC.

It's getting some attention in February to rectify the situation. :)

When we went in May lots of the rides in Cbeebies looked in a sad state. In the night garden many of the things wasn't moving and needs a good clean and painting.

I swear they’re meant to be 7 seats across from the plans and not 6 like in this concept art? Saying that they’ve used Vekoma track on Nemesis for some of their artwork before.

I think these are two fantastic IPs for CBeebies Land, and very cleverly chosen too. Peter Rabbit will evoke fond memories from those who remember the original ice show which used to be performed in Storybook Land - many of whom will now have their own young families. It is also a well loved family of characters, with Beatrix Potter's original stories still enjoyed by children, plus of course you have the recent film adaptation too. Teletubbies have been around for a long time too, and again there will be those who saw the original which aired during the late 1990s who will now be starting their own young families who will in turn be enjoying the new version.

It looks like they’ve done a really good job! Theming looks fun, fresh and very fitting for the area too

As reported by TowersTimes News, CBeebies Land is set to celebrate its 5th birthday in style this weekend with a special ‘CBeebies Land Birthday Celebration’ at Alton Towers featuring live performances and a 3 metre tall cake!

What are your thoughts on the 5th birthday celebrations taking place over this coming Bank Holiday?

It's a cute idea! Would love to see more events like this. Makes me wonder if we've seen this cake before, perhaps for a certain Splash birthday... :lol

Hey guys!

This is my first post in a fair few years, so please be gentle! 

I recently visited Alton Towers for the first time in quite a long time (nearly ten years..don't judge!), and i I was really interested to see the CBeebies Land area as I have a two year old now who is literally obsessed with everything on that channel. As much as he seemed to enjoy spending time there, I couldn't help but notice that some of the attractions seemed quite dated? 

The Postman Pat ride was badly flaking paint, and there's a Tree Fu Tom playground?? My kid didn't even know who that was.. would it really be too much trouble to update some of the attractions there? The channel has some hugely popular characters that seem ripe for future attractions, for example, why don't they get rid of the Tree Fu Tom themeing and turn it into a Hey Duggee playhouse area? 

Surely the Postman Pat ride is worth a lick of paint every couple of seasons? I dunno, i just wondered what everyone else thought of the area..

I'm not the best one to comment on what AT should replace the rides with, but what I do know is that they made everything very bright (such as painting previously natural looking fences) when they transitioned the area from Storybook Land. This is fine if the park was fantastic at keeping things looking their best, but realistically we know things don't get painted as much as they should.

Hopefully the area has had a nice refresh over the winter / closed period.
