CBeebies Land; will I fit on the rides?

8 replies

ThrowAwayHooray · 21/08/2025 21:40

I’m a size 18 and accompanying some toddlers to CBeebies land at Alton Towers and due to their height, they will need an adult on the rides and it’s just dawned on me that I might not fit as the rides are specifically made for young children!

The website doesn’t say anything about size restrictions of the accompanying adult so I’m just wondering if anyone’s been and can please advise? I don’t mind squeezing in or being uncomfortable but I don’t want to disappoint the kids by being turned away.

Thanks.

I think youl be fine,they all have adults on them.maybe the Peter rabbit ride may be squeezy?but if so there's plenty more epic rides so not hard to avoid one or two if you do think would be no fun.theres also plenty to do that's not a sit in type ride,big duggeee play park,the showtime show area,furchester show,Jo Jo gran gran area.the bugabee ride you just sit in the middle while the kids sit in the cars.the more adventurous ones are probably too big for toddlers anyway.night garden ride youl be fine and that's the best.it will be brilliant.

Yeah, the only one I’d say to avoid would be the Peter Rabbit one, there is a bigger seat in the middle but don’t think I’d have risked it when I was a size 18 but you might be okay. Although, from about 2.5 upwards I’d say they’d be fine on their own (mine was).

You'll be fine, I went at roughly 30 weeks pregnant. I didn't go on Peter rabbit or octonaughts however, there was two grown men on Peter rabbit at once so weight wise will be fine, comfort may not. Didn't get a peak at the octo rollercoaster so can't comment.

@BoyMom776 yeah it was absolutely fine, I managed to fit on all the rides including Octonauts and Peter Rabbit (albeit snugly) which were the two I was most worried about. Are you heading there?

@ThrowAwayHooray yeah! Just booked for April and then panic set in about fitting onto the kids rides 🤣 but thank you you have put my mind at ease. Did you have a nice time?
