Advertisement 5 There's a new flying monkey ride in the Wizard of Oz land 5 The upside down house is set to be a hit with visitors One of the new Gulliver's attraction is an upside-down house, which is an interactive attraction for families that turns everything on its head — or at least appears that way. There's also a photo opportunity to remember the experience. One of the new rides is the Winged Monkeys which allows visitors to soar through the skies from the Royal Palace of Oz. And the Munchkin Motors ride is a revamped vintage classic. Advertisement With this ride, visitors can drive through the Land of Oz and try to spot much-loved characters along the way. Julie Dalton, managing director of Gulliver's Theme Park Resorts said: 'The Land of Oz area at Gulliver's World in Warrington is a fantastic new area that brings something different and sparks imaginations as visitors follow the yellow brick road.' There are five Gulliver's theme park locations across the UK and a new ride recently arrived at the Matlock Bath site. The theme park in Matlock Bath has announced the addition of a new 'Tree Top Drop' ride. Advertisement Gulliver's Kingdom in the Peak District has more than 30 rides - including this new one. The ride that comes with a word of warning for visitors gives riders an incredible view of the park before suddenly plunging 15 metres. Paulton's Park reveals first look at new £3.5million ride opening next month 5 There's even an Emerald Castle 5 Another new ride was recently added to the Matlock Bath site Advertisement Manufactured by SBF Visa, the ride is the latest addition to the park. Hannah Marsden, resort manager at Gulliver's Kingdom, said: 'We are really excited by the reaction we have had to our new Tree Top Drop ride. "It's definitely not one for the faint-hearted but the views are absolutely fantastic from the top looking down on the whole valley below so not to be missed!" One of our Sun Travel writers recently visited Gulliver's Kingdom, and believes it's still one of the best. Advertisement She even went as far to say her family loves it more than Alton Towers. Milton Keynes is the favourite of her sites, particularly because they have the Dino & Farm Park. She says that it's perfect for anyone not bothered about big name rides and is after theme park staples like a log flume and rollercoasters instead. Another plus side is that families with small children can easily keep their little ones entertained, without having to walk for miles. Advertisement On the theme of parks, this abandoned English theme park is to reopen as an adventure attraction with rides and play zones. And the award-winning UK attraction is set to launch a 'time-travelling theme park' next year.
