Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaster

Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

^ I did a quick search and The plopsa fans website says July 1st but I don't know how updated that Web page was.

Plopsaland seemed a bit unsure of a date when replying to someone on the Facebook page recently, so I don't know if it's a case of 'it'll open when it's ready'.

Not sure what vegetable was used to take this, but the point is that it's now testing!
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Well that looks fun! :D
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Looks really nice! It might just be me, but it seems to have slightly better pacing than WL. Great addition!
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Looks good as expected. First run so pacing could easily change.

Does anyone know if they are still running Vleermuis or if it's permanently closed while they try to sell it?
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

If it rides anything like White Lightning, it'll be 'fun' and the younger market will absolutely love it. There's really not much else to say about it ha.

Those trains are adorable. I can just see myself sitting in one, eating Milka
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Maybe the ride is due to open somewhere in September?

In today's newspaper appeared an article about Plopsa and their enviroment permit, which is about to expire next month. The park however 'forgot' to extend the permit. This means that, if one of the park's locals complains about anything about the park, judges are allowed to close the park for several weeks or months.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

The new ride wasn't done when I went. I demand a 3 month investigation!

Don't know when this is opening, but the theming will be half done, which just seems pointless in a park like Plopsaland :?
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

I believe this is due to open in July. No idea when specifically.

In regards to theming I did mention before that the park have said it'll be finished for next year. Annoying but I suppose they just want to get it open for the summer crowds.

Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

I absolutely hate the way parks are doing this whole get the ride open then theme it next season!
Either start construction earlier and get it all finished or don't open it at all until it's all finished!

Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Yeah I don't get why parks seem to have lost the ability to plan projects properly lately!

Everything's either opening like halfway through the season or half done.

Like why. This ride isn't exactly complicated.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

I guess it makes the finances easier to manage if they spend a chunk one year, recoup some of it, and then spend a smaller chunk the next year.
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

^ While I get your point when it comes to the theming, I simply can't understand why do parks open their new attractions when the high season is already in full swing? While Wildfire had some hiccups with permissions et ca, this has absolutely no excuse to open so late in the season (to add the insult to the injury, unfinished).
 
Re: Plopsaland De Panne | Heidi The Ride | GCI wooden coaste

Opening an attraction surrounded by bare concrete walls and scaffolding can't be good for the park :/
Is waiting to open the ride in 2017 better as it would leave guests much more satisfied? (before they promised summer '16 of course :p )

^ It's worked for Hansa Park on numerous occasions.
