Plopsa parks news - Megalite on the way?
- Thread starter peep
- Start date
Sigh. I'm saying I don't see there is the market for it. Plopsaland is a family park, Mega-Lites are slighty out of the realm of family in my opinion. Plospaland will know this too. I got the distinct impression visiting Plopsaland last year that it wasn't the sort of place that would ever benifit from a Mega-Lite. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE them to get one, but they won't._koppen said:
I don't see the love for the place either. It's OK, but nothing special. At least Anubis is fun. I guess a Mega-Lite would make it worth going to though...

^To be fair Hix, look at Djurs Sommerland. Piraten was pretty much the ONLY big coaster there, everything else was just a Danish Paultons Park. I'd say Djurs has a similar target audience to Plopsaland, and Piraten is incredibly popular.
And who knows, they may even want to expand their target audience to include a bit more thrill seekery stuff.
Megalite probably isn't going to happen still though.

As the speaker above said, the Megalite at Djurs is extremley popular with familes, and I would not class it as more thrilling that Anubis. I would actually say it's perfect for the park, trying to expand with a bit bigger rides.
As I said the attendance rose with 18% when Anubis opened, if that does not show that there is a market for these kinds of rides at this park, then I don't know what!

Gerstlauer, Vekoma and Zierer has also been rumored to be under consideration for the park's next coaster.
Edit: A disco coaster and a Splash battle was just released for next year. Seeing as splash battle's are pretty expensive, I would say that there are pretty slim chances for a decent coaster.

I don't know much about Djurs unfortunately, but if it's a family park then maybe it could like. Like I said, I really really want to eat my words, but I'm fairly sure I won't have to.nadroJ said:
But what's the increase in attendance for ANY major new ride opening? I bet that whole indoor place had a similar (or higher) impact of the figures when it opened._koppen said:
I feel coaster wise, something like this is far more likely. Possibly even one of those Mack coasters that seem to be popping up. It's the happy medium between Mega-Lite and family ride I think._koppen said:
And oh, they're getting a DiscoCoaster and a Splash Battle? I guess that's cool, will be perfect for the park, but glad it's not something I need to go back for just yet.
^ To go with that, Newsparcs have said the following this morning on Facebook:
They have also posted this picture of the new area.

I love the look of the new Vicky the Viking area I'm just sad it's two of the worst type of attractions. Splash battles are never popular after opening year and Disko-coasters are just a bit boring. At least they'll make them look pretty but you can't really polish a turd.
Hixee, you should know that a Mega-Lite is actually a pretty reasonable rumour considering that for the past few years the actual CEO has said that a coaster for thrill seekers (Anubis target market - teenagers) is on the way, just looks like they've pushed their plans back a bit.

Well I may well stand corrected then. I'm not taking opinion as fact (so far we've only been tossing around thoughts), but if there's word from the CEO about it then that's a bit different. Like I said, we can hope...peep said:
The new additions do actually look pretty good. I feel like they might actually be able to pull off the theming well too. Plopsaland is quite pretty, so hopefully they can make this work.
