_koppen Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Awesome to see a splash battle that isn't pirates themed
fun4life Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Some new pictures of the construction of the "Wickie Zone" and the new "Plopsa Theater". Opening is scheduled for July. "Wickie The Battle" (splashbattle - Mack Rides) and a new shop in the background The construction for the mountain around "De Grote Golf" (Disc'o Coaster - Zamperla) New restaurant Theater Theater (Pictures made on the 1st of May - http://plopsafansite.be/Nieuws/2013-05-01/nieuwtjes-in-plopsaland-de-panne-1-mei-2013/)
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 A small update with an overview of the new themed land: Thanks to Plopsa Facebook! First Disk'o Coaster in Belgium (if you don't count one on the Belgian fairs if it still traveled around). I wonder how the locals will react to this ride. It all looks pretty now and it isn't even finished yet . keep investing Plopsa! I wonder when TPR is going to visit the park (probably after 2015-2016 because of the new rumors of a new roller coaster)
SharkTums Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 We really want to do like a 'B' parks of Europe trip at some point. There are a TON of medium sized parks like this that we just can't hit with limited time and parks like Europa, Heide, Phantasia, etc. on a normal Europe trip.
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 We really want to do like a 'B' parks of Europe trip at some point. There are a TON of medium sized parks like this that we just can't hit with limited time and parks like Europa, Heide, Phantasia, etc. on a normal Europe trip. Pretty understandable. Belgium for instance isn't a 'themepark-walhalla' for foreign people, but I hope that's gonna change. Walibi Belgium for instance is highly renovating the last 3 years and hopefully they build a new ride in 2015. Plopsa is the fastest growing park in the country and they said they will build a new coaster in the upcoming years (and their new hotel/waterpark *wink wink*). Hopefully, by the time of 2020, Belgium will be much more interesting for a 're-visit' for TPR. I hope I can meet up with you guys then . Sorry for going offtopic -> Back to Plopsa: next Saturday there is a site visit at the new Wicky zone and the new Theater. I will post pictures if they are online (I'm not going, but I know some people who will). The Disc'o Coaster had its first test this weekend by the way. It will go much faster and spin much more in future tests:

I really love visiting the 'smaller' parks on TPR trips and a 'B' park trip would be really 'my type of trip'. And Plopsaland is really the better park in Belgium.
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Update time! New themezone about Wickie the Vicking is almost complete: Progress at the new theater/showbuilding of the park: Great thanks to Plopsafansite.be!
fun4life Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Here are some pictures of yesterday. Wickieland (the new area with the disc'o and the splash battle) will open on the 1st of July, the brand new Plopsa Theater the 15th of July (with the Plopsa-classic "Samson & Gert Zomershow"): Wickieland Plopsa Theater Pictures from: http://plopsafansite.be/Nieuws/2013-06-14/nieuwtjes-in-plopsaland-de-panne-14-juni-2013/
fun4life Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 The new Wickieland - the Vic/Vicky The Viking area - will open today but there was a VIP- and guest-opening/party yesterday: Pictures from PlopsaFansite: http://plopsafansite.be/DePanne/Dossiers/2013-Wickie/Opening/
StealthFan Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 That looks like a fantastic new area for the park. Also that may very well be the most heavily themed Disko Coaster in the world! I love it. -Craig
DJeXeL Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 ^This. I'm not a huge fan of Disko Coasters however this particular one looks very good. I love Splash Battles as they are great fun for the entire family.
ernierocker Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 The new area looks great. Probably the best themeing I have seen on a Disk'O Coaster!
jedimaster1227 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I just love how the rock work hugs the Disko's track! Edited July 1, 2013 by jedimaster1227
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) That's really an awesome looking area! Edited July 9, 2013 by COASTER FREAK 11
_koppen Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 That's the best looking Disk-O ever! dt And possibly the coolest looking splash battle ever as well. I'm so tired of the pirates theme all the other ones have.
Dragon Khan Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 One more (less serious though) incident for amusement parks this week end: Plopsaland's starflyer stranded 22 people 30 meters in the air today. Roxflyer is the second ride of the group to strand people, last time was Plosa Coo's MegaMindy héad stranded people for ... 3,5 hours !
fun4life Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 The construction for Plopsaqua, the swimming pool at Plopsaland De Panne, has started. Plopsaqua will be build next to the Plopsa Theater (that opened this year), at the entrance of the park. The water park will open late 2014, begin 2015. Pictures: PlopsaFansite And there is also some new artwork by Plopsa:
jedimaster1227 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Plopsaqua looks like it will be amazing! And from the look of those slides, it appears Polin will be the main provider for the new water park. Great to see that company continue to take on big projects like this!
jedimaster1227 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 ^Good to know! Thanks for the clarification there!
BDG Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 More artwork... All released by Plopsaland themselves. main building artwork artwork exterior
witting Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Plopsaland Is taking apart the oldest operating coaster in Belgium a zierer tivoli large. and rumors are that it will be replaced by a new zierer with same lay-out but different trackstyle. That's how they should retrack goudurix! foto courtesy of http://www.plopsafansite.be Edited December 31, 2013 by witting
