Thomas the Tank Engine chugs its way to Edaville
Theme park will consist of 14 rides based on the television show’s characters
Two children’s favourites are joining forces with the construction of a Thomas the Tank Engine theme park at Edaville USA Railroad in Massachusetts.
Groundbreaking on Thomas Land is scheduled for next month. The 4.4-hectare park in Carver is expected to open in summer 2015.
The permanent theme park will consist of 14 rides based on the television show’s characters, including a 20-minute train ride on a life-sized Thomas the Tank Engine. Children will be able to meet Sir Topham Hatt, the railroad’s administrator.
Edaville owner Jon Delli Priscoli says the partnership is a natural fit. The travelling “Day Out with Thomas” tour has been a favourite at Edaville for more than a decade.
