The first Sesame Street theme park on the West Coast is set to open next month in San Diego. It will feature Big Bird’s Beach, Oscar’s Rotten Rafts, and a Cookie-Monster Tower, among other attractions.
And the San Diego park couldn’t be opening at a better time with people emerging from pandemic boredom and itching for a new experience, said Dennis Speigel, owner of International Theme Park Services Inc., a global consultant on the industry.
The park will also have 18 Sesame Street-themed rides. They include Cookie Climb that leads to the top of Cookie Monster-themed towers; Elmo’s Rockin’ Rockets, which flies on an imaginary trip through outer space; and Super Grover’s Box Car Derby, a kid-friendly roller coaster. It also has a 500,000 gallon wave pool, one of the largest in Southern California.
SeaWorld announced the end of its breeding program in March 2016, after years of pressure from animal rights advocates and shifting public opinion about orcas being held in captivity.
