Photo TR: Plopsaland De Panne

Hey everyone!

As the topic title says, I went to Plopsaland. The visit wasn't planned at all but when my sister told me she was going with her husband and the two kids, I couldn't resist...

So we went on a rainy day, hoping that the crowds would be light. But after driving for an hour, it started raining so hard that we had to slow down to 30 mph on the freeway! It was really scary, we couldn't see a thing! I was already mocking myself that we were the stupidest people to go on that day... But when we arrived at Plopsaland, the rain stopped and the sun came out! The weather was ok for the rest of the day and we had a great time at the park!

The park was called Meli-park in earlier times and it was a park dedicated to honey and honey products. I already visited it back then but I was only 6 years old and I don't remember anything from that day (except that I got this glittering fairy make-up on my face).
The park is now owned by Studio 100 (a television production company) and the park is now dedicated to all sorts of characters that appear in the series the company produces. Most of the series are for the little ones so the park is great fun for them. But I had some great fun too!

The park has some fun coasters, lots of flat rides for the kids and a really lovely boat dark ride. More details of the rides can be found in the captions under the pictures so let's start!

Enjoy!

I was actually going to take a trip to Plopsaland. Thats is one of the few Belgium parks I don't have the credits at.
So this really helped me plan my trip. Thanks!

Nice Trip report there. The park looks actually pretty good, I love the mainstreet. I won't visit this park until 2009 when the new launched coaster will be finished. But for now, thank god I don't have kids

Else i will hear 'kabouter plop' on the television all day long!

nice TR

too bad TPR didn't visit this park with the europe trip cause i think it's worth it.

imo, it will be belgiums best park from next year on when they have the launched gerstlauer
