The log flume is being re-themed, in true Plopsa spirit!

 

Personally I think it looks awesome!

Looks great! It was in an interesting state of flux last summer, the ride itself had the classic "devil's den" theming but there were cartoonish viking characters scattered around the surrounding pedestrian area. One of the better classic flumes out there.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who giggles every time they read the word Plopsa. It sounds like a poop joke.

[FreeFaller]

Honestly said, I don't like Holiday Park being Plopsa. I want to get back my old trashy Holiday Park. Holiday Park was never one of these family park things. I mean, there were a lot of families visiting the park, but it was more a park for teenagers to hang around and get thrilled by Intamin! It's a little bit ridiculous with all these new paintings, because I know how it looked like before and that's what Holiday Park will always look like to me.

However, it is really good that there is a company that spends some money on creating new attractions! That's what the park needed! Some input!

The log flume definitely looks better. I'm all for improving the theming at Holiday Park, even though GeForce and that medieval dark ride already make the place worth visiting.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Please add a complete station for GeForce! I would be completely satisfied if they did it.

[matteocrepaldi]

I think GeForce is so awesome it doesn't need a station!

As you will not ride this coaster while raining why would coasters like this a roofed station? As if the roof is needed the station under it would likely be empty...

[vuurvogel]

I need to vist this park again next year. Going to plan a trip. GeForce and superman coaster, new decorations, sounds like a lot of improvement.

I just don't like to see the sexy Intamin creature being outside with nothing above under rain, snow, sunshine, storm, etc. I know everything is water proof but I would like to see it being taken care better with a station.

^I get it. I feel the same way about the place where they keep the trains, I don't like to see them out in the open vulnerable to the elements.

Premier confirmed by their Facebook that this is indeed the track for Holiday Park's new coaster.

 

And here is some construction photos.

 

It appearars (from how they are pouring one big platform) that this new ride will be based on a big frame, instead of supports with induvidal footers.

 

I had hoped this ride would have been the permanent induvidual footers version, shown on the conept art for Superman, Discovery Kingdom.

Still freaking awesome!

On a note on the re-theme of the flume ride, I actually really like the new look, and I hope they do some re-theme on the rapids ride next.

I would also like Expedition Geforce to get a proper station, in true Plopsa quality.

[A.J.]

I thought that Superman was a permanent installation even though it's constructed on a frame. Superman isn't portable...is it?

[_koppen]

No it's not. They probably wanted to save some money, since the ride who stood there before was on a big concrete pad.

[Moose]

The soil type may make this the best type of foundation.

[kidcoaster 2]

I loved Holiday Park and I think this is a great addition! hopefully I can make it back there at some point.

[StealthFan]

Its amazing what Plopsa is doing to the park. I said this last year and I will say it again. The park will be unrecognizable before you know it. Thats certainly not a bad thing though as what they are doing looks fantastic and im sure the new coaster will be a great addition.

I'm assuming they're getting ready for vertical construction.

[gerstlaueringvar]

^I guess it still need sometime to shift the tract to Germany.

[simaticable]

I did not see that. At least Holiday Park is hopefully preparing the land, so they can start vertical construction once everything starts to arrive.

coaster:

So does this mean that the world's biggest indoor coaster going to that mall is now going to Germany?

[cal1br3tto]

^^Lots of interesting details that should make the projects fun to follow.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Glad it's going to Germany! I believe they can take better care of it than China.
