I'd be surprised if it's either of these. The park needs a family coaster. I'm thinking a GCI or Gravity Group woodie.

I'd prefer the Raptor, but you're right, a good family coaster is what the park is actually lacking. Hoping for a Gravity Group...

Holiday Park are getting a Tomorrowland themed area in 2024:

It will replace the water ski show. The 15 million euro investment will "create an attraction and a top-class themed area".
Nice to see the Plopsa / Tomorrowland partnership expanding, and will be interesting to see what this new attraction could end up being!

Could this be an RTH clone? Or is it likely to be something different?Holiday Park are getting a Tomorrowland themed area in 2024:

RTH cost €17.5 million, so unless a lot of that went towards development costs then €15 million for a clone is a bit iffy. Could be something in a similar vein, though.

I would be very surprised if it's even an Extreme Spinner. I suspect Plopsa would want to keep the novelty in De Panne.
Exciting news though, there's definitely a lot more to explore with that theme.

Not just development costs... Bit of a difference shipping 100's of tonnes of steel up the road, than there is to another country...
That being said, I do agree, I doubt it's a clone...

Plopsa are investing 65 million euros in Holiday Park over the next 3 years.
This includes:
- a water play area to open next year
- the hotel (20 Million euros) and water park (22,5 Million Euros) which start construction soon
- the 2024 Tomorrowland themed area and coaster (17,5 Million Euro - interestingly a higher figure than the one originally quoted)

The water ski show is now officially being retired after shutting due to the pandemic. The stadium is already in the process of being dismantled.

So Holiday park have done a presentation where they talk about the project and building a "big new coaster" that looks to open in 2025, while not confirmed on the coaster type they do use an image of The Ride To Happiness so hopefully we may see another Mack spinner pop up.

At a recent fan event the park have confirmed
- the Tomorrowland area and coaster are delayed to 2025
- they claim a few options still exist so no announcement can be made as to what exact coaster type/manufacturer will it be - other than it won't be a wooden coaster
- the new hotel is delayed from 2023 to 2024
- a retheme in the near future is planned for the dark ride Burg Falkenstein

Unless it is a scene by scene recreation with updated technology, this is terrible news.

Fair point, but I think as long as they get payed enough they'll build anything the park wants. Matter of time before Europa Park gets a spinner anyways.

Yes. Europa is on another level from Holiday Park and Europa/Mack know that. Building a major coaster for Holiday Park isn't going to put a dent in Europa's attendance.
Plus, Europa essentially serves as a testing/proving ground and functioning advertisement for Mack's products. Half of its purpose is to help sell rides. Obviously, they don't have an extreme spinner, but that's sort of irrelevant. The more extreme spinners they are able to get out into the world (and therefore prove it's a solid, quality product), the more likely they are to sell additional installations. Honestly, having a masterpiece that close is probably an asset because they can easily take clients up the road to see the product and they don't have to pay for the installation themselves.

Also, I’d guess that the majority of Holiday Park and Europa Park visitors probably wouldn’t twig that Holiday Park’s new ride was built by the owners of Europa Park… I probably wouldn’t, if I wasn’t an enthusiast.
Manufacturers aren’t particularly common knowledge outside of enthusiast circles, from my experience, so I don’t think a Mack coaster at Holiday Park would be an issue for Europa Park.
They’re not even that close, are they? Correct me if I’m wrong, but when I looked, I seem to remember Holiday Park being a good 2 hour drive from EP…
