Five Tips for a Fun Time at Thomas Land in Edaville USA

My savvy ladies and I recently had the opportunity to visit Thomas Land in Edaville USA located in New England.

There are 11 rides based on Thomas & Friends and the Island of Sodor.  Attractions at Thomas Land include a 20-minute long scenic train ride on a life-sized Thomas the Tank Engine™ replica, and theme park favorites including a roller coaster, drop tower, Ferris wheel and much more.

Here are my 5 tips for enjoying Thomas Land:

1. When visiting the park, I have to say my number one tip would be to arrive early.  Parking is free and close to the park too. This is a great way to get the most out of your experience.

2. Once you have arrived in Edaville USA, head straight to Thomas Land.  There are many other fun things to do in Edaville but you can do it later.  If you wait to head to Thomas Land, the lines will get longer and longer.  We enjoyed our morning visit and we were able to go on many rides quickly because of our early start.

Troublesome Trucks Runaway Coaster was a great ride for all three of my girls to enjoy.

 

The big favorite was Cranky’s Crane Drop.  I think they went on the ride about 8 times!

 

3. Take pictures with all your favorite characters  Although my youngest is getting older, she loved seeing all favorite characters.  All of the rides and attractions feature beloved characters from Thomas & Friends such as Thomas, Percy, Diesel, Toby, Cranky the Crane, Harold the Helicopter, and more favorites.

While on the  Island of Sodor, you can take pictures with the locals too.

 

The people on the island were so friendly; I had to get my picture taken with them too.

 

4.  Get your picture taken with Thomas.  Depending on the day, the train runs on the hour and 1/2 hour.  While he is in the station. you have the opportunity to have your photo taken professionally.  What a great memory for your little Thomas fan.  

 

5. Plan ahead.  If you order your tickets online for a specific date, you can save $3 per ticket.  Click here to find out more.  With tickets in hand, you can avoid the line and enter the park sooner! 

 

 

Thomas Land is a great getaway for your Thomas fans and an enjoyable amusement park for all.  Since we drove from NYC, we made it a weekend trip and stayed at a local hotel. We enjoyed our stay at John Carver Inn in Plymouth. 

Edaville USA is a family amusement center entertaining families for over 70 years. Owner Jon Delli Priscoli purchased Edaville and its 250 acres in 2002.  There have been many exciting updates under his ownership including the reconfiguration of the entire narrow gauge rail course and the incorporation of vintage amusement rides such as an antique carousel and an illuminated Ferris wheel.  Other attractions throughout the year include, the National Cranberry Festival, which features a train ride through the fall cranberry harvest, and the Christmas Festival of Lights offering rides through brilliantly lit displays in the winter. Thomas Land will be Delli Priscoli’s biggest undertaking at Edaville to date.
