Wiggles World lands at Great America Chicago

Wiggles World,” the park’s third area devoted exclusively to children, will feature specially-themed rides and attractions including The Big Red Car ride, The Big Red Plane ride, Dorothy’s Rosy Tea cups, Bouncin’ with Wags ride, Henry’s Splash Fountain, the S.S. Feathersword Pirate Ship play area, and the “Get Ready To Wiggle” show featuring the Wiggles’ friends. The area will also include retail locations selling Wiggles merchandise and and the Yummy Yummy Cafe serving healthy meals.

“Wiggles World” will be populated by The Wiggles’ cast of supporting characters: Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus, who will pose for photos and perform in daily shows. The Wiggles themselves – Anthony, Sam, Jeff and Murray – will make an appearance and perform at the park in 2007.

The Wiggles are the most popular children’s entertainers in the world, and “Wiggles World” will be designed to leverage their vast recognition and status among children ages 2-6. Since 1991, The Wiggles have performed to more than 1 million audience members a year. To date, they have sold more than 22 million DVDs and videos and more than 5 million albums worldwide, and The Wiggles’ successful television show has been broadcast on Disney Channel’s Playhouse Disney since 2002.
