Rubber Duckie Has New Home At Sesame Place

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —Rubber Duckie is still the one at Sesame Place. He just has a new home in the amusement park.

Last month, the 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.

Sesame Place —the children's theme and water park right off Route 1 —held a contest over social media to decide Rubber Duckie’s new location in the park, allowing the public to vote on one of two locations, Meagan Passero, the park's communications manager, said.

And the winner is in.

Moving forward, Rubber Duckie will live just between the Sesame Street Neighborhood and the Sunny Day Carousel, Passero said.

She said that guests will be able to take photos with the larger-than-life icon for the first time ever this summer.

The renovations are a part of the park’s "Most Splashtacular Season Ever" announced in February.

The Rubber Duckie structure, which includes the Rubber Duckie and the soap dish it sits on, weighs about 200 lbs. and stands at 11 feet tall.

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.
