Spoiler alert: Sesame Place – the new San Diego theme park- is for kids, not nostalgic grown-ups.
— for more than 50 years. At a media preview day, Wells tells me that he sees the new park as an “extension of the show, a live embodiment of the Sesame Street program.”Claire Ferraro, 6, rides Super Grover’s Box Car Derby during a preview day at Sesame Place San Diego on Friday, March 25, 2022.
The water attractions have varying levels of “scariness” — toddlers can splash around in a mellow area called Elmo’s Silly Sand Slides, while older, thrill-seeking guests can get their scream-fix on slides like Cookie’s Monster Mixer, a six-story raft ride that sends you swirling around in a blue tube before dropping you through a sideways funnel for the stomach-dropping finale.
The rides on dry land, however, definitely skew toward the under-8 set. There’s Rub-A-Dub Sub, which boards riders onto Ernie’s toy submarine , a spinning hot air balloon ride called Sesame Street Soar & Spin, and Super Grover’s Box Car Derby, a mini roller coaster for those looking for a bit more action. Maggie’s favorite was Abby’s Fairy Flight, a carnival-style swing ride that would be the perfect way to dry off after splashing around in the wave pool.
