Belgium: Heidiland at Plopsaland De Panne Now Open
This past Monday, Belgium’s Plopsaland De Panne officially opened its new theme area „Heidiland“. The centerpiece of the new area, which is designed in the style of a Swiss alpine village, is the “Heidi The Ride” wooden coaster from Great Coasters International (c.f. EAP, issue 4/16).
After the ride had already been completed in summer last year, the official opening was postponed to the 2017 season due to an outstanding environmental permit (c.f. EAP news from August 2nd, 2016). All the more happier visitors now have been discovering the new area, also including a carousel from Wooddesign. A detailed design, featuring the popular characters of the “Heidi” kids’ television series, gastronomic offers and a shop complete the experience for visitors. (eap)
