The long awaited Thomas Land opened last Friday at Edaville USA in Carver Massachusetts.  We were excited to be a part of the grand opening and attend Media Day!  We got a first hand look at the new attractions that we have been watching being built each time we visited for the last year!   My little Thomas fans could not wait to explore Thomas Land!  

When you enter the new section of the park you feel as if you have been transported into the land of Sodor. From the nostalgic waterwheel to the clock in the town square, every detail was well thought out.  My girls wanted to explore every building, ride every ride and especially loved the show at Tidmouth Shed.  We didn't visit the Dockside Diner but saw many people taking advantage of a cool place to grab a cold drink.  My girls could not wait to ride all the new rides which include:
  • Bertie’s Bus Tours
  • Cranky’s Crane Drop
  • Diesel Derby
  • Firefighting Flynn
  • Harold’s Lift-Off
  • Rockin’ Bulstrode
  • Sodor’s Cranberry Carousel
  • Sodor Windmill
  • Toby’s Tilting Tracks
  • Troublesome Trucks Runaway Coaster
  • Winston’s Skyline Express COMING SOON! 
The favorites of the day were Harold's Lift off and Cranky's Crane Drop!

Each time we visit Edaville my girls enjoy taking pictures in the Edaville Train - I love taking the pictures and watching how they have grown and changed since the last time we visited.  This visit was no exception and we took our traditional photos.  In addition. we rode many of our old favorites including the Caterpillar, Jumbo Elephants Ride, The Red Baron and as always we ended our day on the Carousel.  There is also DinoLand to explore but we simply ran out of time and energy!  We are looking forward to going back to Edaville and Thomas Land very soon!
