Twiddlebug Land

Twiddlebug Land was a themed area of Sesame Place based on Sesame Street's Twiddlebug. The area opened on May 15, 1993. In 2023, it was announced that Twiddlebug Land would be repurposed into Big Bird's Beach.Sesame Place Philadelphia Announces the Most Splash-tacular Season EVER With ALL-NEW Water Attraction, NEW Tropical-Themed Land, ALL-NEW Entertainment Offerings, and MORE!
The section of the park used the theme of shrinking guests down to the size of bugs, making everything appear "larger than life". The central attractions of the area were the Teeny Tiny Tidal Wave, a 10,000-square-foot wave pool that featured a giant "garden hose" fountain, and Sky Splash, a giant water slide ride. 
Slimey's Chutes, a pair of water slides designed to look like a giant Slimey the Worm, allowed visitors to race down the famous worm.
The area was also home to Mix 'n' Match Twiddle Tracks. The twiddle tracks featured self-powered railroad cars made out of giant match-boxes. Silly Sand Slides was a playground located in Twiddlebug Land, designed as an over sized sandbox. 
A 16-foot-tall Ernie peered over the area. Giant pencils, marbles, playing cards, postcards and other items decorated the area. Even the bathrooms were shaped and decorated like a milk carton.
