Diggerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diggerland is a the name of three theme parks in England based around the theme of diggers and JCBs.
Rides include a modified digger in which visitors sit in an adapted shovel and are spun around in the air, opportunities to drive - and take full control of - many forms of diggers, four wheel drive adventures, and much more!
More particularly, these include different types of construction machinery including Dump Trucks, Mini JCB Diggers and Giant JCB Diggers (all under strict supervision). Attractions include rides, drives and static displays, along with play areas.
There are three parks which operate under the Diggerland name, in Kent, County Durham, and Devon.
[edit] Recent expansion
In June 2006, Diggerland announced that they will be breaking ground for a new Diggerland in the United States, near Richmond, Virginia due to open in 2007.[citation needed]
