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

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

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.
