NewsParcs, connecting the theme park industry!
NewsParcs will do a full coverage of the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013 in Orlando to have a look at the latest trends and developments of the global theme park industry.
The Belgium-based group has decided to entrust the project to Premier Rides which will be in charge of designing and manufacturing the yet-to-be named ride for an opening scheduled in July 2014. Plopsa hasn't ordered a custom-built track but has opted instead for a copy of an existing ride that the manufacturer of Baltimore originally designed for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in California: Superman Ultimate Flight (opened in 2012).
Plopsa has invested massively in Holiday Park since the purchase of the property in 2010 from the Schneider Family, spending more than €25 million in a 4-year development plan. Home of the world renowned 'Expedition Ge Force' mega coaster, several times award-winner, the new owner firstly introduced Studio 100's family of characters including 'Maya the Bee', 'Vicky the Viking' and 'Tabaluga'. In 2012, the group dramatically changed the main entrance area of the park while creating a brand new themed zone 'Mayaland' with several new family rides. A Maya-the-Bee themed restaurant was added to the latter this season along with other improvements in the existing attractions and facilities.
He added: “Europe is an important part of our ability to be a globally representative business and we think that Holiday Park will be a great way of showing our capabilities and our dedication to this market. The European economy is not only coming back, but it is impressing people all around the world how strong it is getting. And Germany is a leader in the recovery here in Europe, they are setting high standards for the other countries so we are excited to be part of that success.”These past three years have been intense for NewsParcs. Our magazine, which has been dedicated to the global theme parks industry since 1998, underwent major changes to become one of the most appreciated magazines among many...
