New Thomas & Friends US exhibition to open in 2014

An exhibition exploring the world of Thomas & Friends is to arrive for America in 2014.

The museum is to offer US fans a hands-on experience in working for the Island of Sodor through many observations on a 1500 square foot scale.

The initiative by Hit Entertainment and Fisher Price, is to head to the Minnesota Children's Museum as part of a tour of exhibitions for children, guaranteed until 2024.

It is the first time that the country will be given an experience into the brand after the UK's Discover Thomas & Friends Exhibition in Drayton Manor's Thomas Land and Japan's Railway Series Painting Exhibition in Koyto.

Hit Entertainment's Vice President for The Americas, Sid Mathur, gave an insight into the attraction and its appeal.

We look forward to developing a premier, interactive experience for Thomas fans around the country where kids can have fun while learning about everything from how engines roll on the rails to the power of teamwork.
