Driving School (Alton Towers)
The Cuckoo Cars Driving School is a ride at Alton Towers for young children. It is styled as a mock driving institution where young children learn how to drive small cars. Riders are allowed to drive around a miniature course, where they are overseen by marshals. The track is mainly built and themed around the area, Cloud Cuckoo Land. It is decorated with colourful statues and quirky scenery.[1][2][3][4]
Reception
When opened in 2006, the Peugeot 207 Driving School was immensely popular with children. The appeal of allowing them to drive openly was a first at Alton Towers. A marketing ploy was that the children received a faux driver's license after completing their 5-minute turn.
The attraction underwent refurbishment during 2016 and has reopened in 2017 as the Cuckoo Cars Driving School.
