About a month ago, it was announced that Sesame Place’s iconic Rubber Duckie, which sat atop Sky Splash since 1995, was removed as part of the construction for Big Bird’s Beach, the new tropical-themed land that will replace Twiddlebug Land.
The park held a contest over social media to decide Rubber Duckie’s new location in the park, allowing the public to vote on two locations. The winner is in — moving forward, the Rubber Duckie will live just between the Sesame Street Neighborhood and the Sunny Day Carousel. Guests will be able to take photos with the larger-than-life Sesame Place icon for the first time this summer.
These renovations are part of the park’s “Most Splashtacular Season Ever,” announced in February. Twiddlebug Land will be colorfully transformed and creatively updated as it becomes Big Bird’s Beach, home to the new Elmo’s Surf ‘n’ Slide, Rosita’s Seaside Slides, Abby’s Splash & Spray Garden and Little Bird’s Bay. Also debuting this summer is Bert & Ernie’s Splashy Shores, an all-new water play adventure area.
