Plopsaland De Panne General Discussion

That's potentially very exciting news! Plopsa is a great little park and it is dead easy to get to from the UK. Sounds like thing are going well for them, they are currently building their waterpark!

:)
 
Plopsaland is dull for thrill seekers at the moment so this is exciting.
 
Well I guess now there is no point in me, Kieron and Joelio rushing back for the Anubis / super splash creds (they were closed when we went last year). May as well hold on for now and see how this project turns out.

It's not meant to be for thrill seekers though...

I know.

But any park needs one or two thrilling attractions and they added Anubis which clearly is designed for thrill seekers. However, in visiting the park - Anubis doesn't fit the rest. So they need to have more of that balance too!

:)
 
Ian on CF (who seems to be in with park management) has pretty much confirmed that this'll be a woodie for 2016. I wonder if it'll be a smaller one like Twister or a big GCI?
 
Wow, brilliant news! Gravity Group or GCI, this is exciting for a park that is so easy to get to from the UK. I'd imagine something from Gravity Group is more likely but we shall see.

:)
 
Plopsaland seem to be retheming the old Wizzy/Woppy area (or at least, the Teacups), to some Princess area theme...

Would also appear that they will be tarting up the Fair area, which could do with some I will say...

Think the only rides that this would leave still sticking out like a sore thumb are the StarFlyer and Roller Skater... Which is good, any improvement and all that...

Everything indicates that Plopsaland in 2016 will open a spectacular wooden roller coaster. Insiders report to Looopings that negotiations on the purchase are already in an advanced stage.

Plopsa is still negotiating with two manufacturers. The renowned American company Great Coasters International (GCI) is said to be the most likely. GCI was previously responsible for Troy in Magic Land (2007), George and the Dragon in the Efteling (2010) and Wotan in Europa-Park (2012). Plopsa director Steve Van den Kerkhof told last summer already that a wooden coaster high on his wish list. Or the roller coaster is coming in 2016, he would not confirm yet. "There is certainly a great new ride of an American company." It is expected that early next year more Plopsaland disclose.

Plopsaland's new waterpark is progressing well. Photos from their Facebook page:

And a new plaza/hub connecting everything together. There are plans for a hotel here also:

Plopsa is such a cute "thing".

It's actually got practically nothing I want to ride (obviously I am not the target age range so it's fair cop) but I do like the way they seem to do things.

I'm quite surprised they have a trapdoor launch slide if I'm honest...

It looks quite fab, if I remember correctly as well it'll be available for the local village residents at a discounted price (or something along those lines)...

Also look forward to their hotel, certainly another family park that's going places...
 
I did think a drop flume but it seemed to be more family than thrill waterpark

Be nice to get some more details on that particular slide
 
Is this being built in one of the existing tin sheds, or is it a new one? Seems odd to have a water park with such a dark roof, they usually have glass. It looks like they cloned one of the buildings at Toverland.
 
I was going to say the roof looks a bit odd, more warehouse rather than waterpark, unless they have plans for it, but I would have thought they would have done that before they built the waterpark.
