Plopsaland
Much like a year of Britain, A Year of Europe looks to expand upon its predecessor by including some European parks (of which I already have gained 7). Aim is to end this around this time next year to start a further, worldwide one (one can dream). So, my first European park outside of DLP when I was 15, Plopsaland.
It was an early morning when we left Dover (5:15am).
To arrive before 9am at a park that opens at 10. Notice the oversized door, yeah we didn't understand why everything was so large until the end of the day.
What do you do when you're early? Go for a mile walk. They have horses in Europe (must be near a Findus factory)
Something the others had never seen were the war cemeteries they have. They are astonishing in size, and Belgium is littered in them.
R.I.P.
Just down the road though it was a birthday. My 15th birthday cake wasn't that big
Lovely entrance area.
Like stunning
European trees.
Apparently this is a ride station!
And this is a queue line
I thought we were invading a house and the owners were going to kick us out.
See, have something protecting your house Anubis! Dragons are the way.
Didn't work though, we still made it in.
Lights were cool too!
Zomg it's like home!
Well half like it.
There was a pedal thing.
A Vekoma Roller Skater called... Roller Skater!
With an oversized washing machine. From a dark ride on a boat we learnt that the Plops (a race of things) are very small people. Fair enough, why buy an already oversized machine? That will surely kill them.
More random house invasions!
Not even a mat for us to wipe our feet on.
Pirate boat of forever. Like a 5 minute cycle.
You could honestly race the boat from this splashing down to returning to the station with the pirate boat. Both took ages.
Start your watches.
Swan boats are faster.
It's a big lake though. Jack and Josh are awful drivers.
This duck agrees.
Time for the Mack watersplashofdrynessthatgoesbackwardsunderawobblybridge.
Sploosh.
So this has a height restriction of 1.2 or 1.3 can't remember. Still, I'm pretty sure the Plops are smaller than that. Can't even ride a ride in their homeland.
Luckily we could, was a very good ride.
yay land of bees.
Was all a bit overgrown if you ask me.
This was good fun though!
This was from the Plops water ride thing. I had no idea what was going on.
Oh look a nicely themed hill.
Wouldn't have even known the Disko was broken, can't even see it.
Minus that... shhhh
Splash battle! Was very welcome with the weather. Again though, the Plops so would not be able to reach the guns.
So Plopsaland, a very nice park, just feel bad for the natives. Might have even stood on one accidentally if they're that small.
Au Revoir Plopsaland, till next year with your GCI (just think about the height restriction yeah?)
And off to Hotel Joly we went (yeah, wasn't Jolly like we were hoping...)
