mightypotato Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Two things: 1. This coaster looks pretty intense, and therefore awesome. Gerstlauer is really starting to impress me with their designs. 2. Plopsaland is probably the funniest name for a park I've ever heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyoverlord71 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I thought De Panne meant bread. Is Lynet smooth? I'm looking forward to seeing the station when it's built. It really is genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I was thinking on making this trip last year. But when I heard about the new coaster I was going to wait. And I can say it is going to be worth it. It looks awesome. And the theming looks great also. Cannot wait for this one! --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Is Lynet smooth? Yes, its a nice coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mochtroid Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The station and the dive loops look kinda trippy and this coaster looks just fun. Not technically impressive, but one of those that you just enjoy the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun4life Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I thought De Panne meant bread. Lol! No, the park is located in 'De Panne', near the border with France. Thats why the park's "new" (since 2006) name is 'Plopsaland De Panne'. Actually has the park two names: one in Dutch (Plopsaland De Panne) and one in French (Plopsaland La Panne), just like the village 'De/La Panne'. Why? Because 'De Panne' means something else in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théo the little french Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Why? Because 'De Panne' means something else in French. Lol, I'm French and De Panne doesn't mean anything from what I know^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tömmioh Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 That looks great! It's nice to see that ever more "smaller parks" can now better afford (?) a multiple looping coaster (that isn't a crappy boomerang), with these relatively new coaster types from Maurer Söhne, Gerstlauer and Intamin Mega-Lites etc. I'll most definitely be going to Brussels in late May, I know this Plopsaland a bit 'far away', 2 hours? Still, it would be cool if anyone knew when this is supposed to open? (I'm sorry if I've missed it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansrubens Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 ^ It comes from Kabouter Plop and Samson en Gert. Two studio 100 characters from belgium. ----Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun4life Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Next week they are going to begin with the construction of the coaster. Yay! Lol, I'm French and De Panne doesn't mean anything from what I know^^"De" in Dutch isn't the same "De" in French. I don't know the whole story, but I think it must be something historical? Not that it's interesting, but it's good the know. La traduction de 'de' en Néerlandais et... en Français. De (Dutch) = 'Le' or 'La' (French) De (French) = 'Van' (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kooky Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 so today i present you a collection of the newest pics and nolimits simulation video mixed with old intresting things from gerstlauer and http://plopsafansite.be: first the video: the newest pic from the station: source: http://plopsafansite.be/DePanne/2009/index.htm sadly they changed the final theming, if you don`t remember here is the old artwork which really looks incredible: so here the new pics from track segments and the building plans: and here some old artworks: i hope that they didnt`t changed the theme of the cars too.

Kooky Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 in meantime the station began to look really nice: and its going up: all pics from HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The new station looks nice, but the old station idea was really cool. Had the park gone with that, it would have probably been better than Top Thrill Dragster's amazing station. The second top hat though looks a little odd, but it's probably because it has never been done before. However, it might look better when finished, and going by the current theming on the station, this ride will look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreditCrazy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Europe seems to be perfecting the launch coaster idea. All of the 2009 installs look spectacular IMO. Yep, all except the fastest one (IMO) but this one looks great. The theming looks good and the ride looks really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am kind of dissapointed that they did not use the upside down station. I really like the whole concept they had going on. But this station is just as lovely as the upside down house, I really canot complain either way, this coaster looks like it is going to be a huge hit with the crowds!

I think they wan't to do something with Anubis (a STudio 100 tv show in Belgium/Holland) so they picked this. Don't really like it! the upside down treehouse is way more spectacular imo.
