I mean, it still hasn't opened yet. 😉
But hey, I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong. Fair play Qiddiya.
On an unrelated note, I don't ever expect Universal GB to happen and there's no chance it'll ever have any tall, long, world-class roller coasters...
The park are also investing in new boats for Gondoletta over the coming months, which also changes the seating arrangements:

The set of 3 towers opening next to Baron next year at Efteling will be called Hooghmoed

Hooghmoed is the surname of the Baron character, which derives from the Dutch words for "high" and "courage"
I think with Merlin parks (and likely many others), it's become a lot more difficult to say what the "gate price" is.
For Merlin, they specifically focus on online sales now. There's a lot less of the 2-4-1 offers, etc about now. It's all a drive for buying online, which will cost between...
The park officially opened officially as Plopsaland Deutschland today. Michael Mack also states the Xtreme Spinner is coming "very soon"...

Given the park currently lack an aversion to doing things at usual...
I wonder if Universal are planning to do something similar in the UK in the coming years, prior to the opening of the park? Could bring more eyes to it in advance of opening..
I feel like there is a cut of point where a park being too quiet can dramatically impact your enjoyment of a park. I visual it something like this...
This is knocked up very roughly, and is definitely dramatised. But I think it gets my point across visually. I'll expand and explain though...

Toutatis at Parc Asterix is currently closed. Translation of the announcement...
On paper doesn't sound like a major issue, but this type of announcement usually would indicate a prolonged closure
This feels...odd to me.
Like I understand why they've been rebranding the other parks to Plopsaland *place*. But De Panne already fit in with that. I wonder if they're trying to really push the brand out and make themselves akin to the Walibi brand a bit more, hence the want for the country in...
Their whole plan is nonsensical, idealistic and wreaks of an enthusiast's wet dream.
They have built up a 5 year plan, and they make a particular point to say they have built it with enthusiast input (as well as industry professionals). But to directly say it has enthusiast input is just a bit...
Just throwing out a couple more things

Wonder if they're looking at making a bigger announcement sometime in the coming weeks?
Yes.
But that's the same for so many hobbies I think, especially ones which have a huge layer of subjective opinion about them.
I'll give an anecdotal example. In recent months, I've slightly gotten back into watching wrestling (WWE). I watched it as a kid, and since it was added to Netflix...
