Current attractions
Chopper Squadron
Chopper Squadron (until 2007 Whirlybirds or Whirly Birds) is a ride aimed at younger children.
The ride consists of several different coloured helicopters that rise up vertically and rotate. Two guests can be accommodated in each copter. The ride is controlled by the guests inside it, one stick controlling height and other rotation. To ride you need to be over 0.9m tall and if under 1.3m, accompanied by an adult.

Shopping and eating
The area contains a gift shop (Cuddles Corner) and two food-venues; DUPLO Family Restaurant (formerly Pasta Patch, Captain Barnacle's Boatshed, The Great British Carvery) and Fried Chicken Co..
Future
The area is set to contain a massive upgrade for the 2013 season. It will most likely be renamed DUPLOVILLE, but it is still to be confirmed. Attractions will include DUPLO Water Fortress, DUPLOVILLE Playland, DUPLO Splash Zoo and a retail store. Fairytale Brook will remain, and the DUPLO Theatre will be renamed Storytime Stage.[1]
- Area Entrance Portal
There will be two entrances to the area and each will contain an archway. There will be flowers and fence parts by the entrance and throughout the area. One side of the archway will be supported by a tree-trunk brick section, with normal DUPLO blocks on top. In front of this is a DUPLO dog model, which will be taken from the existing Waterworks attraction. The other side will be supported by a turret, based on the Castle and Princess themes. These will be designed to look as if a child has built them. On top of the supports, 4m above the ground to allow emergency vehicle access, is a banner connecting the two, and on top of that two flags, to add to the "fairy-tale" feel of the area.
- Dry play area
A new dry play area is to replace the current DUPLO Playtown, on the location of what is currently Waterworks. It will be arranged like a small town and the ground will have a rubber crumb flooring and contain different colours and patterns to denote roads, pavements and gardens. It will include many different buildings, and will mainly be built around various Kompan play units.:
- Garage - To contain a workshop area with a car and a bike, a petrol pump and a works van. The ceiling is based on the bridge in set 3774, a car wash based on 5696 and the overall play area is based on 5641.
- Caveman House - A dinosaur appears as if it is stuck inside, with a head above the front window and a tail coming out the back of the house. The house will have two floors and themed around the Dino DUPLO theme.
- Circus - A tent with balcony and two caravans next to it. A high wire connects it to the cake shop, with a DUPLO monkey balanced on it. It will be based on 5593 Circus.
- Builders House - An incomplete building, to contain a crane that children can use to lift bricks up and down with sound effects. To be based on sets 4988 and 5639.
- Police Station - Contains a police car and a cell. Based on set 5602.
- Pirates House - Based on the DUPLO Pirates line.
- Fire Station - Based around 5601 and other fire service themed sets.
- Pilots House - Based on the LEGO Ville airport sets.
- Castle - To contain a tower and a maze-type structure based on a zoo play feature at LEGOLAND California. Themed around the Princess Castle line.
- Clowns Cake Shop - To contain a mixing room and a climbing structure. Like the Circus it is based on 5993.
- Telephone box - To contain an "interactive" speaking tube set outside.
Next to it, near the existing retail building is a terraced seating area to allow parents to supervise their children.
