Hhappy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) So after spending a couple of days at Europapark it was time for the (long) drive home. Plopsa Coo was one of the parks along the possible routes and since i had not been there yet i decided to take this one hour detour to go for a visit. Plopsa Coo is an interesting place to check out. Not for coaster enthusiast but more for families with small children. Besides that the location of this park is pretty cool. Getting there is an interesting drive through the hills in the area. Almost felt like doing a rally through the hills. Francorchamps (the F1 circuit) is within 10 miles of the park.. so that could be an interesting stop as well. Anyway, i did a quick visit and then went on with the drive home... Enjoy the pictures and feel free to comment. it was not that busy when i parked my car first stop at the park Vicky, the spinning coaster next stop was coaster which has some interaction with the flume and the flume was a hit with the kids entrance to coaster sign but wait.. there's more to this park octopus should be clear on what's in that corner trying to capture coaster which actually was a nice surprise here's the parks maze which is called labyrint looking back towards the front of the park skloosh i wanted to get some more pictures and a ride on coaster.. but it broke down (or at least it looked that way). Time to move on hmm, those are big.. can i take them home?? Balls.. (not the chocolate salty kind) climbing structure for the kids park map, as you can see the place is not that big it should go up and then round an round and round and... at least they have coca cola hmm, this should make some folks happy every plopsa park (i've been to) has one of these wassup? water play area they also had a kart track it ain't tiny at all and these machines went pretty fast time for some more vicky pictures lovely station building accross from vicky and yes.. you could walk underneath the ride.. not netting at all see? there was also a bobslee more vicky track a lovely waterval right next to the park and yes.. the park is right next to the water and that bridge one more look at vicky the big restaurant (i think) the end of the ride of the bobslee and yes.. going up was in reverse..

cfc Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Vicky has a crazy-looking layout. I like how even small European parks are into building nicely themed stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julioot Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Lovely little park. I visited this before it was a Plopsa park. I was quit a bit younger back than, but I was farley impressed with the "Coaster". It's a impressive kiddy/family coaster with single person cars. Smooth suprising and lovely use of terrain. thnx for the report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This looks like a beautiful park! It appears they take care really good care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Khan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 ^they do... now ! Before the Plopsa era though, everything was nearly falling to pieces with un painted rides and water that smelt like gutters... But this place started as a family day out destination and slowly turned into a park later. The big draw was the waterfall 'cascade de Coo" and kayak / canoeing in the river Ambleve. I have always wanted to try the bobsled ride but was unfortunate as they didn't seem to operate it in rainy weather. I have the "Coaster" credit though...

RoCo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Looks like an awesome family park, tons of character and charm, and the coasters are quite enticing! Nice! Man, there are so many places in the world to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I like how even small European parks are into building nicely themed stations. It's a bit unfair - to other parks - to classify this one as "small" though. While it really is small, literally, it's not small financially and creatively. Its parent company is an incredibly successful media company, making movies, music, tv shows and theater productions. Look at some "nicely themed stations" at their flagship park Plopsaland: Yes, even the last one is a station building. Built from scratch only a few years ago. Fun fact: not a single brick was used, it's nothing but concrete, sculpted and painted to look like weathered brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 ^ I agree they do great themeing, but on that last one I wonder if it would be cheaper in the long run to use real bricks which could be pressure washed and won't need a new coat of paint every few years.
