Giant Slides and the Wild Sea

Here's the giant slide at the Plopsa Indoor park before all the backdrops were installed...

And here's the slide on opening night with a view of the Plopsa Indoor theater.

Below is the main hall with just the frames of the carousels during the construction phase.

 

And here's how the indoor theme park looked on opening night. The ShowLED starcloth backdrops 

cover the entire wall to create a starry sky and a magical atmosphere above the charming townhouses!

This is "De Woeste Zee "or The Wild Sea attraction during the ride's construction in April 2010.

And here's the ShowTex printed backdrop adding the finishing touches to the ride on opening night.

The Pirate Roller Coaster Ride started out simple

 But now it's the perfect mixture of thrills and fun with a realistic rocky decor and illustrated backdrop

The curtain tracks to hang the illustrated backdrops were installed before the waterfall and roller coaster were in place. Then, after construction, the giant backdrop was inserted in between. It's a good thing fabrics are so flexible!

The Plopsa Indoor Theater

Here you can see the structure of the theater area in progress

and below a member of the ShowTex installation team imagining
how he's going to get those velvet curtains up to the 14 meter high curtain tracks

 no, still there...

Of course, with the help of some friends....

 And some heavy  machinery...

Anything's possible!

The Foundations of Fun

It all started with a huge site conveniently located next to the family friendly Center Parcs. Plopsa Indoor Coevorden has 15000 m² of excitement, with 10000 m² dedicated to indoor attractions and 5000 m² to outdoor fun.
Here are some pictures of the location and the big machines it took to get this project started. Is that Samson or Gert driving the bulldozer, I cant tell...
