Alton Towers Resort is making fantasy a reality this National Rollercoaster Day (16th August) to celebrate the launch of LadBaby’s latest children’s book, ‘Greg the Sausage Roll: The World’s Funniest Unicorn’, published by Puffin Books.
Exciting initiatives will be in place for the two-day-only event, including iconic family coaster, Runaway Mine Train, being renamed to ‘The Wonderland Express’ in reference to the new book, as well as meet and greets with LadBaby and lead sausage roll characters Greg and Gloria.
The latest book in the record-breaking, number one bestselling series, launching on 15th August, sees Greg the Sausage Roll undertake an adventure to a magical theme park, boarding The Wonderland Express in search of the world’s funniest unicorn.
Alton Towers Resort is making National Rollercoaster Day extra special for visitors by bringing elements of the book into a real-life theme park, including offering free rainbow candy floss, Greg the Sausage Roll’s favourite treat, to those meeting LadBaby on National Rollercoaster Day.
"At Alton Towers Resort we are all about making fantastical dreams a reality – and what better way to do just that than celebrating the launch of LadBaby’s new book for a very special day in our calendar, National Rollercoaster Day on 16th August. We were keen to showcase elements of the exciting new book in our activity, including renaming our iconic and much-loved family coaster, Runaway Mine Train. Our big focus is to celebrate family time this summer, so we hope visitors will enjoy riding ‘The Wonderland Express’ for two days only, as well as coming to meet LadBaby themselves and trying our special rainbow candy floss.”
