Still caught up in the rush of doing things rather than having time to write about them, so please, enjoy Plopsaland De Panne.
A walk-of-fame-style star for Meli Park ``Familie Florizoone'' near that building.
In the windows are miscellaneous pictures and merchandise from the park's earlier existence.
At the feet of the sleeping giant you can still find Meli Park.
I assume the fishing pirate-y guy is from Meli Park although since Plopsa does do shows with pirates it could be a more modern construct.
And wait, what's this? Yes, they had coffee vending machines just all over the place and as much as ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}

Hi, beloved characters we're assuming are for a young kids show but don't really know!
Seems to be named Bumba and we were remarking on how rare it is to see just a playground-type area in American amusement parks these days. And then remembered that Michigan's Adventure put one in for their big Camp Snoopy addition a couple years ago.
Carousel! Plopsaland has a double-decker Venetian carousel much like any given upscale shopping mall, or a number of other amusement parks we've been to, but it's nice seeing anyway. I don't know what the choice was to paint the ostrich ``battleship grey''.
Better view of the carousel and some more colorful figures, which are mostly what you'd see on any ride of this class.
Chez Albert along with some characters who look like they could be from any midcentury beloved comic strip. I like the background guy with the insect antennas.
And oh, yeah, the figures are on the panels atop the carousel too. Yes, one of them I can't help thinking is Jughead.
I believe this is the grounds of a Disk'o Coaster, like Pipe Scream at Cedar Point or Cosmic Chaos at Kennywood, with the bonus feature of a statue of some quarreling Viking-y folks.
