## Trivia

* The Rio Grande Train was rethemed into "a Thomas & Friends story", and is run by a new Thomas replica rebuilt from the other engine on the line; the new shell uses real wheels, a talking animatronic face, and is considerably larger in height than the original locomotive shell.
	+ The ride "will weave stories and songs from the show and eventually include themed display pieces." Due to budget and time constraints, the planned displays will be added in 2019, although funding was raised to add several billboards along the line.
* A building with a grass roof serves as the Big Adventure Playzone, which is themed after Big World! Big Adventures! Featured inside is a viewing area for Thomas episodes, a train table, and a jungle gym featuring Emily, Gordon, Percy, Shane, Nia, and Ashima.
	+ Edward, Henry, Rosie and Rebecca are represented by posters in the windows.
* The rides for the park are similar to Edaville's, but are made to be "unique to Paultons". Major differences include:
	+ Each ride having a control booth themed after their respective destiations.
	+ Diesel Drivers has a bigger layout and only four engines (Salty, Bert , Diesel, and Rusty); due to a manufacturing error, Diesel and Rusty also had their faces swapped (this was fixed prior to a press tour for PaultonKon 2018).
* This is the second Thomas and Friends attraction in the United Kingdom, with the other being Thomas Land at Drayton Manor.
