FREIZEITPARK PLOHN (Germany)
Park News -
2025 - ART Engineering Wild Swing - (1/19/2025) Freizeitpark Plohn is adding a Wild Swing from ART Engineering for the 2025 season. The final name of the attraction has not been announced yet, but it will have a mermaid theme and see the ride placed over water.
2026 - DØNNERVIND / Multi Launch Water Coaster - (12/25/2025) Freizeitpark Plohn has announced the name of their new launched Mack Rides flume ride coming in 2026. The park has named it “DØNNERVIND” which translates into English as “Thunder Wind”, but I believe the more accurate translation might be Thunderstorm.
(1/19/2025) Amusement Today has posted a few more details about the new Mack Rides launched water coaster coming to Freizeitpark Plohn in 2026. According to the brief article, Mack Rides claims that the new attraction will use the same style boats that they already use on their existing Water Coaster designs. They only had to attach a “metal piece on the bottom of the boats”. “We push the boats a little out of the water, but not by much - and launch it with the force of a Blue Fire coaster.” This may be a small dig at Intamin’s launched flume system, the first opened as Catapult Falls at SeaWorld San Antonio last year. On Intamin’s system the boats are mostly pulled up out of the flume to run across a slightly submerged track to engage the magnetic launch system. We’ll have to wait and see how the Mack Rides version looks before casting any kind of final judgement.
(9/25/2024) Mack Rides has announced the world’s first Multi Launch Water attraction as a spin-off of Mack Rides popular water coaster attraction. The first one will be added to Freizeitpark Plohn in 2026, where it will feature two launch moments, several airtime hills, twisted track elements, along with two splash downs and a pair of “High Five” banked air-time hills just as the vehicles pass by each other leaving and returning to the station area.
