Excitement soared to new heights today as Emerald Park offered a sneak peek into its much-anticipated Tír na nÓg development, showcasing the installation of trains on two new state of the art rollercoasters. The addition of the rollercoaster trains signifies a milestone in the park's journey towards delivering its first fully themed and immersive land at the theme park and zoo.
Tír na nÓg will open in May
Today, General Manager of Emerald Park, Charles Coyle confirmed that Tír na nÓg will open its gates to adventure seekers and families this May, with an official opening date to be revealed next month. The unveiling marks the first glimpse into what promises to be a world-class entertainment destination located in Ashbourne, Co. Meath.
With a substantial investment of €22 million, the 6.5 acre land is a first for Emerald Park and has never been seen before in Ireland. Along with the two main rollercoasters, Tír na nÓg will also introduce a third classic theme park attraction, known as a Waveswinger. New food outlets, retail spaces, and an entrance that will create real excitement and wonder, will also all lend to the Irish mythology and fantasy theming across the land.
