Paultons Park is an amusement park located in Romsey, Hampshire, England, UK. The Park features Peppa Pig World, the world's first Peppa Pig themed land, and three other themed areas. In addition to rides, the park also contains a zoo.[1][2]

History

The park was opened in 1983 by the Mancey family, who continue to own the park today. In 1988, the land of the dinosaurs, Krazi Karts and the trampolines opened. In 1993, the park's first roller coaster "The Runaway Train" Opened. In 1999, the Raging River Log Flume opened. Then, in 2000 the Stinger (renamed to Cat-O-Pillar in 2015) opened. Then, in 2003 the park opened Flying Frog (renamed to Dino Chase in 2016). 2006 saw the arrival of Cobra and 3 years later in 2009, Edge was opened. Peppa Pig World opened in 2011. 2012 saw the opening of Magma. In 2015 Critter Creek opened and Stinger was rethemed and renamed to Cat-O-Pillar. The Lost Kingdom themed area was opened in 2016 with two new roller coasters; Flight of the Pterosaur and Velociraptor. 2018 saw the arrival of the Little Africa section of the park and Peppa Pig World was expanded.[3]

In 2019, the park announced that it was working on a new themed area called Tornado Springs which would contain a new roller coaster, Storm Chaser. Originally expected to open in May 2020, the opening was pushed back to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic and the associated difficulties in constructing the area.[4] The area eventually opened on 12 April 2021.[5]

Farmyard Flyer was then added to the Tornado Springs area in 2022. [3]
