Plopsaland De Panne General Discussion

Looks really good fun, and agreed on the looking better than Time Traveler thought. Look forward to riding and being able to properly compare.

Also, here are some images of the ride station internally and externally. Because. y'know... it looks great.

One word: WOW.

That looks absolutely incredible! :eek:
 
Now I see why they used the Time Traveler cars. It fits the theme amazingly here as well.
 
Pleasing to see. I've done Time Traveler - and this looks better.

Was part of my summer plans this year, but obviously we're now all suffering liberty loss.
 
CoasterStats have just uploaded a g-force video of Ride to Happiness:

If you don’t want to watch, all I’ll say is that it’s surprisingly forceful for a Mack; the g-forces peak pretty highly, especially in the negative g department!
 
This is one ride I am excited for. It seems like mack are trying something a bit more intense should be very good if built to macks great quality (talking mainly about smooth track). Hoping to get on it some point soon.

Sorry to bump, but it appears that Plopsaland has introduced a paid Fastrack system, with a skip-the-line pass for 9 attractions costing €35: https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/192...-introduceert-toch-betaalde-voorrangspas.html

The park’s general manager reportedly ruled out such a move in 2013, but was forced to go back on himself after the addition of Ride to Happiness saw more teens & young adults visiting, who are far more demanding of such an option. The Fastrack is still unavailable on smaller kids’ attractions, as the general manager still sticks by his principle that “wealthier children should not have priority over less well off children”.

Europa-Park have said there's also demands but they don't introduce it.

If you don't want it, don't get it.

Are Europa still the only park to not have it?
 
As much as I don't like paid fast-track I understand why parks do it and frankly if I owned a park I would do it. It's an easy earner, it just makes good business sense.

But who gives a toss about poorer adults ey?

I think I get where he’s coming from there, in fairness. I think really young kids have less of a concept of that type of thing, and there might be some questions from younger guests of “why are they allowed to skip the line and I’m not?” or something of that ilk, whereas adults and older families are more ride count-focused and have a better concept of that type of thing (Fastrack).
 
Has anyone ever done a daytrip or quick overnighter to Plopsaland De Panne? I might look into feasibility of a visit later in the year.

I’d be interested in knowing this as well. When I had a brief look at it seems that it’s only 70 minute drive from the Eurotunnel terminal at Calais but it didn’t look like there was a quick direct way to get from there to Plopsaland by public transport.
