英國動畫片《小豬佩奇》在全球受到了很多小朋友的喜愛，想近距離接觸和體驗動畫片里的可愛角色和有趣情節嗎？ 讓我們一起走進美國佛羅里達州的小豬佩奇主題樂園。

We're willing to bet you know at least one kid who lovesPeppa Pig. The British TV show has been attracting youthful audiences around the world for almost two decades and has even created a generation of American kids with fake British accents. Well, all those millions of young Peppa fans will soon have their own theme park in the United States that they can visit with their parents. Moving over Disney World, Peppa Pig is headed to Florida.

The new theme park is slated to open in Orlando,Florida in 2022 and will feature rides, attractions, a water play area and live shows all popular with preschool-age children and their families.Kids will have the opportunity to meet Peppa, George, Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and the rest of the animal group as they explore the adorable world that looks like it's been dropped right out of TV and into central Florida.

Peppa fans will love rides such as Grandad Dog's Pirate Boat Ride, where little piggies can hop aboard and set sail for Pirate Island, and Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride, where they get to fly high above the park in one of Miss Rabbit's hot air balloons. Other rides feature characters like Grampy Rabbit and Mr Bull.

The park will also feature two play zones: A splash pad where kids can mimic jumping in muddy puddles filled with fountains, slides and interactive water features perfect for hot Florida summers and Pirate Island where everyone in the family can look for buried treasure or build sand castles with Danny Dog. Are you looking for something adults will love too? Check out the classic boardwalk with free arcade （游樂場） games. When it's time for a break, head to the cinema, where kids can watch their favorite episodes （劇集） ofPeppa Pigin a cool dark theater.

Annual passes are already available for the new park for $75. The opening day is still to be announced, but we're guessing there are enoughPeppa Pigepisodes to keep you and the kids occupied until next year.
