Holiday Park | Unknown | Gerstlauer Family Coaster | 2025

Unfortunately can't find the page I saw this from, but I saw a suggestion that this might be a water play park?

Could just a rumour or an old plan, but just to balance out the suggestions of Raptors, Axes and wood...
 
Belgium Ride to Happiness was built to straddle a couple of very jigsaw piece sites and Holiday Park obviously has a different selection of space to play with. Not sure whether it was ever in question as to whether it would be custom but whatever. Great to hear out of the park.

Adding to other park projects in this thread, Theme Park Magic (lawful inside intel) seemed to mention a second coaster project in the works at Holiday Park. May have lost something in translation but what I picked up from a few hastily translated subtitles was a Gerstlauer family layout (Wakala referenced) to be built near Sky Scream. In fact, both would be apart of a brand new area themed to Studio 100's 100% Wolf animated feature. Seems like a bit out of left field choice but it'd be a way to retime the not very Plopsa friendly horror theme on Sky Scream. Will have to see if and how this develops.

 
Ride to Happiness 2: Electric Boogaloo, surely.

To be fair, the place needs something to put it back on the map. It's been a long time since EGF and those models aren't the crowd pleasers they once were.
 
This is exciting. As amazing Expedition GeForce is there's nothing really at the park making it worth the trip so hopefully this changes things and is the start of a great few years of growth and investment to the park.
 
This is really good news. Visited the park for the first time in ten year last week and had a really mediocre visit. The park hast invested too much in kiddy rides and boring flats that it really didn't appeal to me as a guest without children. A thrill coaster alone is not enough to expand the parks small coaster line up. Another family coaster is badly needed.
 
Plopsa has confirmed the Werewolf-themed Gerstlauer family coaster and has shared official concept art:

The layout will be heavily based on Wakala (chain lift, second booster lift hill, reverse spike), be 760 meters long, and is set to open next year. The coaster will be situated between Sky Scream and the main lake, and part of the track will go over the water.

The Tomorrowland Xtreme spinner is still set for 2026, but it appears the Werewolf project is taking precedence in the meantime.

 
The layout for the ”100% Wolf” Gerstlauer coaster has been revealed:

The layout will start off by the lake and run into a booster lift hill before diving into an indoor cave section, ending with a twisted spike before a transfer track returns the train to the station. Very Wakala-esque.

^ Ha, junior outerbank at :48.

Anyway, looks like a fun little family coaster with some unique-ish elements and these switch track layouts are always fun.
 
So apparently 100% Wolf (the Gerstlauer family coaster) has technically delayed its official opening to 2026, but the park says the coaster will still be ready next year, despite signs at the park saying otherwise. Not sure what this means for the Xtreme spinner in turn.

Maybe the ride hardware will be ready for the 2025 season and the final theming elements will be added for the 2026 season. They already did that with Sky Screamer.

Fingers crossed that the Xtreme Spinner is not delayed beyond 2026.
 
Plopsa group seem to have developed quite a bad reputation for being slow with their projects. I've heard manufacturers are complaining about them taking multiple months to reply to even the most minor layout revisions. Not sure how true this is, but i wouldn't be surprised if the xtreme spinner does end up delayed until 2027, even if they don't want to admit it right now.
 
The new “Blinky Bill Zone” adventure area dedicated to the Australian koala bear opening in April is part of the planned park expansion through 2028. In addition, new indoor attractions are being created, including a theatre game around the cartoon character Biene Maja, as well as a Smurf attraction, in which a gondola ride leads visitors through a thematically designed Smurf world.
The main project of the expansion is "Plopsaqua Haßloch", a water park with slides and a wave pool, as well as a relaxation area and sauna. Source (in German)
