The First UK Angry Birds theme park open


The UK’s first Angry Birds Activity Park has officially opened today at Sundown Adventureland in Nottinghamshire.

The first one in the world opened in April in Finland. Sundown Adventureland, a theme park in Nottinghamshire designed for under-10s only, is the first place to feature Angry Birds playground equipment in the UK.
By playing in the parks, which will feature animal spring riders, swings, sandpits and a range of climbing towers with slides, children and parents will be able to access new features in the mobile game, as the Angry Birds creators try and fuse the digital world with reality.
The Angry Birds Activity Park at Sundown Adventureland includes several large play units, a mixture of themed swings and roundabouts and a giant dummy catapult to replicate the Angry Birds world.
Paul Tomlinson, Park Manager at the family-owned Sundown Adventureland, which is situated near Retford, said: “We’re all tremendously excited about the opening of the Angry Birds Park. There has been a definite buzz about the launch and we’ve been amazed at the response from staff and visitors.
“People of all ages seem to relate to the Angry Birds theme and we are thrilled to be bringing this digital phenomenon to life with the help of Lappset and Rovio. The younger generation is living in a world where technology rules so using that to encourage activity must be a positive move.”
