Plopsa group seem to have developed quite a bad reputation for being slow with their projects. I've heard manufacturers are complaining about them taking multiple months to reply to even the most minor layout revisions. Not sure how true this is, but i wouldn't be surprised if the xtreme spinner does end up delayed until 2027, even if they don't want to admit it right now.

The Xtreme Spinner appears to have been delayed again to 2028.

The park is also officially renaming itself to Plopsaland Deutschland starting June 28th.

So now a 4 year delay... Starting to think this project, as we know it now, will never materialise. Stereotypes and generalisations are never good, but this is not what we've always been taught about Deutsch efficiency.
I don't think the rename is a terrible idea though.

I’m still confident it will materialize, especially since Plopsa’s new management has indicated that they really want to make Holiday their second flagship resort. They seem to be juggling a million balls in the air at the moment between the two coasters, dark ride refurb, new themed areas, hotel, and waterpark, though.

Oh I think 'something' will be built, I'm just worried it may end up being something other than the supercharged RTH we were hoping for / told about.
Haven't you heard about Berlin Brandenburg, Hamburg Elphi or Stuttgart 21?
German efficiency has died with the Transrapid, to be more precise it's been sentenced to death with the election of the Greens in '98.b2t: It will take a very long time until the new name becomes common. Just look at Twitter.
The new “Blinky Bill Zone” adventure area dedicated to the Australian koala bear opening in April is part of the planned park expansion through 2028. In addition, new indoor attractions are being created, including a theatre game around the cartoon character Biene Maja, as well as a Smurf attraction, in which a gondola ride leads visitors through a thematically designed Smurf world.
The main project of the expansion is "Plopsaqua Haßloch", a water park with slides and a wave pool, as well as a relaxation area and sauna. Source (in German)

I know all about Brandenburg. So the Elphi and Stuttgart 21 are now on my radar, if they’re half as interesting ad the airport story.Haven't you heard about Berlin Brandenburg, Hamburg Elphi or Stuttgart 21?

Not even here people can leave politics out of it. That's nonsense. The Greens haven't been part of the government for years in the period you mentioned.
Having said that the delays at Plopsaland Deutschland are rather caused by the company's management and not by any German national or local politics as far as we know. Isn't it?

Honestly, all you needed to bring up to disprove the notion of German Efficiency is Deutsche Bahn. Maybe the new coasters got hit by the ol' zug fällt aus?
It's exciting to hear they have big plans for the park but I ain't getting my hopes up until they can deliver a single one. Planning for a waterpark and a whole new Smurfs area when they keep pushing other projects back seems.. overambitious? to put it lightly

It was a joke... Don't make me start bringing up stereotypes around the sense of humour of certain nations. 
(Another incredibly inaccurate stereotype, in my experience.)
Elphi: So this went on a little longer than planned, and maybe cost a little more, ok, ok... 10 x more, than planned... But my word, is it worth it. The place is incredible, and the way it's built to honour the area's history, by 'landing' on top of the original dockside warehouse. This is worth everything it took to make it happen, a fantastic achievement and incredible space. But yeh, nothing efficient about it.
Stuttgart 21: Crikey, that's a complex project, but it does make me think that maybe they're not doing so bad with HS2 afterall. Again you're right, definitely nothing efficient about it.
Anyway, back on topic... @ECG as well as discussing the water park and updates up to 2028, that article / page mentions the spinner still opening in 2025! Is that a snippet from an older, out of date, article? or is it a mistake? They're obviously not still targeting summer 2025, are they. We'd see vertical construction by now and, as Cookie reported. they are seemingly delaying it until 2028. (At the earliest?)

Bit odd that the article still says this, is all I'm thinking.
