New Rides Planned for Freizeitpark Plohn (Mack PowerSplash / Zamperla Big Wavez / Unknown Drop Tower)

[cookie]

Earlier this week, Freizeitpark Plohn, located in Eastern Germany, submitted a planning document to the local government seeking approval for installing multiple new rides in the northwestern end of the park, right in front of the entrance gates. The document specifically mentions "PowerSplash" and "Big Wavez", meaning we know the ride types/manufacturers for at least two of them, but the third ride is simply named "Drop-Tower", which could mean almost anything.

Based on this overhead, the rides would take up these numbered slots (283, 284 & 287 are the PowerSplash; 251a & 270c are the Big Wavez; and 251 is the drop tower):

There's also apparently going to be some remodeling done to the park entrance in addition to these new attractions.

For anyone who needs a reminder of what a Zamperla Big Wavez is, it's this:

I've always thought that the Zamperla Big Wavez looks really interesting. Hope the UK gets one, maybe somewhere like Paultons?

It will be interesting to see what sort of drop tower it is, as you say it's very vague.

Hmmmm....Y'know, there's a perfectly good Funtime tower knocking about on the market....

Park management seems to have gone ahead with the purchase of a €1,000,000 attraction for 2024. They’d recently also thrown a Zierer Jef Ski into their study so that would be such a longshot;

If they get a Power Splash travel will be planned - so far refrained from going that far out for one new credit. With climate change specially south east of Germany is getting hotter a few new waterrides are a good investment I think.

Update-O-Rama:

So construction appears to have commenced on the Big Wavez, rumoured to open in 2025. A concrete foundation has been poured in its location within the park, sporting a recognizable rectangular shape:

As for the Power Splash, the park confirmed in an interview that something "very badass" will be coming to the park for its 30th anniversary in 2026. According to a local news report, the ride will be a "world's first" and cost €13 million, twice that of Dynamite.

Could it be that the Power Loop will be realised at last?

The game has changed, looks like it'll be an ART Engineering Wild Swing. That's some serious early bird construction if they really want to open this thing in 2025;
