Sesame Place to Unveil New 'Cookie Monster Land' Monday

Sesame Places will debut its newest attraction during an opening celebration Monday.

Cookie Monster Land, which features rides, a climbing net and a play area, will open at 10:30 a.m. The first 500 people to arrive will receive a special treat, according to an announcement from the theme park.

Cookie Monster Land has five rides, a three-story climbing net and a soft play area aimed to amuse the park’s youngest visitors.

The featured ride, Captain Cookie’s High “C’s” Adventure, will take guests around a track with multiple small inclines that mimic the gentle rolling waves of the ocean, Sesame Place said in an announcement.

There is also Oscar’s Rotten Rusty Rockets, which propels children in trash-can rocketships and Honker Dinger Derby, where colorful cars move and rotate. The Flying Cookie Jars ride spins guests around in a giant cookie jar 40 feet above the ground and Monster Mix-Up features spinning disco ball teacups. 

“Cookie’s Monster Land promises to be an exciting addition to Sesame Place, where millions of families have experienced the joy of being a kid – or being a kid again – over the past three and half decades,” said Bob Caruso, park president. “At Sesame Place, we are always looking for opportunities to offer our guests exciting and fun experiences, and this large scale renovation through the development of Cookie’s Monster Land will do just that.”
