New Rides Planned for Freizeitpark Plohn (Mack PowerSplash(?) / ART Wild Swing / Unknown Drop Tower)

[Graeme]

I was thinking this could be very good for parks where height could be an issue.

I believe the shortest water coaster is Poseidon at Europa Park at 75ft.

Hopefully could get to see a water coaster in the UK

Yes, we may well be looking at the Paultons ride, and I could also see Alton Towers getting one. One might even be the replacement for the Log Flume at Great Yarmouth.

Very impressed with the ride - like Catapult Falls and Poseidon combined into one

That would really fill that gap for all three parks

Dedicated minisite for it (no video upload yet tho) ; http://www.watercoaster-plohn.de/

There's another video of a video on this tweet tho;

Small correction: LIM launches

Will be interesting to see the engineering used to stop water damaging the launch components

I guess the same used on Pulsar.

This might be the first time, I ever said so truthfully, but this looks slow... painfully slow. The layout also doesn't add anything. Chiapas looks better and more thrill-focused than this wannabe coaster.

The trouble I had with Plohn on my visit a few years back was that whilst it seemed like a good park on paper, much of it felt tacky, cheap or otherwise a bit naff.

Whilst again this seems like a fine addition on paper, I hope that we get something which lives up that expectation in execution and reality.

I was disappointed with it as well. That was before Dynamite was added though, so along with this new thing there are a couple of things worth revisiting for.

Thinking about it, it was really El Toro I was disappointed with. I'd heard nothing but glowing reports and found it overwhelmingly mediocre.

You sure that you didn't just mix up Plohn's Mini El Toro with the proper one in NJ?

I was there a week before Dynamite opened, foolishly thinking that 12th May would be "Spring enough" for the originally advertised 'Spring opening'. So maybe I'm a bit petty in my thoughts

The Dynamite area looked nice enough, but not a saving grace aesthetically. Also agree on El Toro, bang on.
