Construction-themed park lets kids move some earth

    A construction-themed park opening next month in New Jersey will let kids, and adults, move some earth with excavating equipment.

    Diggerland USA outside Philadelphia says many of its plans are based on four similar parks in the United Kingdom.

    The park is set to open June 14.

    Many of the rides are repurposed from heavy construction equipment.
