Plopsaland

1567 views

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.

11742797_1183200335038726_8614843463742234062_n_zpsk5zyxsmt.jpg

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.

11700962_1183200978371995_1627735661542027006_n_zpsotyi2ygr.jpg

See, have something protecting your house Anubis! Dragons are the way.

11214206_1183201158371977_4619891912682078652_n_zpsciz5guvs.jpg

Didn't work though, we still made it in.

11694889_1183205078371585_7751186239126023730_n_zpsxrnxbzlu.jpg

Lights were cool too!

11170319_1183204945038265_366399042988285728_n_zpsyfn0l8jq.jpg

Zomg it's like home!

11059592_1183201248371968_7203541485590788220_n_zpsxd2i8jcr.jpg

Well half like it.

11781816_1183201055038654_6940349966051805839_n_zpsnu4bq7jw.jpg

There was a pedal thing.

11036450_1183200861705340_1628746585793571214_n_zpses7ruhup.jpg

A Vekoma Roller Skater called... Roller Skater!

11693953_1183200921705334_7469311314018726332_n_zpscsobsqui.jpg

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.

11024691_1183201308371962_1541927940426904421_n_zpsxcblqjm4.jpg

More random house invasions!

11705307_1183201345038625_8758021308190986085_n_zpssj6ew0ro.jpg

Not even a mat for us to wipe our feet on.

11700962_1183201731705253_3707019740592020491_n_zpscejushym.jpg

Pirate boat of forever. Like a 5 minute cycle.

11742766_1183201808371912_3568843523266919739_n_zps7v8rnvtp.jpg

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.

11781807_1183202535038506_280004790584250159_n_zpsms179efy.jpg

It's a big lake though. Jack and Josh are awful drivers.

11750738_1183202418371851_2323381651961905625_n_zpsnfgblso8.jpg

This duck agrees.

Sploosh.

11695774_1183204258371667_6452087271432727130_n_zpsstagszu9.jpg

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.

11745821_1183204415038318_6690304058542129781_n_zpscpulxj2y.jpg

Luckily we could, was a very good ride.

11755095_1183200021705424_9212010764256077284_n_zps9afucnub.jpg

yay land of bees.

1800335_1183204521704974_7496795360615697566_n_zpshnvwjukm.jpg

Was all a bit overgrown if you ask me.

11027471_1183204608371632_1573174828999034444_n_zpsemypx5wk.jpg

This was good fun though!

11169246_1183204628371630_5882773569957707502_n_zpsyfeevbfy.jpg

This was from the Plops water ride thing. I had no idea what was going on.

1004098_1183204661704960_2238777902393761437_n_zpsqtosuhk2.jpg

Oh look a nicely themed hill.

11214251_1183204761704950_5817869117526662510_n_zpsvmiaouo2.jpg

Wouldn't have even known the Disko was broken, can't even see it.

11169199_1183204735038286_8624274838974665223_n_zps4zcnzwbn.jpg

Minus that... shhhh

11752093_1183204865038273_2343968280831500749_n_zpsryy5fdn4.jpg

Splash battle! Was very welcome with the weather. Again though, the Plops so would not be able to reach the guns.

11705142_1183203248371768_1754084972968459879_n_zps77qkaojy.jpg

So Plopsaland, a very nice park, just feel bad for the natives. Might have even stood on one accidentally if they're that small.

11751841_1183199951705431_1280796724157285264_n_zpso5dr38g1.jpg

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...)

What a nice family park, they definitely plop lots of details around the park. How was the woodie construction there?

No idea where they're building it so have no idea. There was a small square cornered off but I'll be astounded if they put a woodie in there (unless it is just for the Plops!)

Woodie is going behind the Castle area (Draaaaaak and Fog Lume area)...

 

The bit in the middle of the park is the Teacups retheme, which includes adding a huge castle with sets and a Food Loop...

 

As for the theme, the park is owned by Studio 100, a Dutch TV Company, and the rides/areas are themed to their characters... Plop is the Gnome, Wicki the Viking, Maya the Bee, etc. Some of the TV shows can currently be found on the UK Netflix (it's typical child TV)... The English version of House of Anubis though is so fab <3
