On 2nd July 2026, Skånes Djurpark unveiled this year's major new summer attraction. The 20,000 square metre Shaun the Sheep Land (Fåret Shaun Land) is expanding, and the area can now be experienced from a completely new bird's-eye perspective. The new attraction, The Scrap Flyer (Skrotflygaren), has been created by Shaun the Sheep and his flock, allowing guests to fly high above the park.
The Sheep Take Matters Into Their Own Hooves
Shaun the Sheep and the flock have decided to build their very own attraction as an addition to the fairgrounds in Shaun the Sheep Land. During the night, they have "borrowed" parts from the Farmer's scrap pile – including bicycles, fans, paint, and a cement mixer – to build their flying machine.
The result is The Scrap Flyer, an interactive ride developed in a collaboration between Skånes Djurpark, the British animation studio Aardman, and Zamperla.
All guests over 90 centimetres tall are welcome to test the flock's invention, which lifts off the ground as the riders pedal.
"This is a highly anticipated expansion of Shaun the Sheep Land that doubles the fun and spreads plenty of high-flying joy this summer. I am also particularly proud that the flock's invention highlights recycling as a theme, encouraging us all to reflect and reuse things," says Glenn André Eikelund, CEO of Skånes Djurpark.
Pedal-Powered Flight Over the Farm
Every flying bicycle is unique in both color and shape; Shaun the Sheep has made sure to include his favourite colors, and the mischievous pigs have left their clear marks on another. The flock has also ensured that more people can join the adventure by building a specially designed, wheelchair-accessible flying machine where guests fly using arm power instead of pedaling.
"It is incredibly gratifying to see how Skånes Djurpark has brought Shaun's inventive spirit to life with The Scrap Flyer. It is fantastic that the attraction is so inclusive and that guests get to use their own muscle power to make it fly – it truly captures the flock's ingenuity in a completely perfect way," says Ngaio Harding-Hill, Director of Attractions & Live Experiences and Archive at the animation studio Aardman.
"It is fantastic that we get to be a part of expanding the immensely popular Shaun the Sheep Land with the world's first interactive Shaun the Sheep ride. The experience truly captures Shaun the Sheep's energy and is a perfect addition for anyone who wants to fly this summer," says Charles De Bruyne at Zamperla.
