100% Wolf – The family roller coaster

In early May 2026, 100% Wolf faced another highly visible incident. A train stopped halfway through the layout, just before the large wolf head, because according to Plopsa it did not have enough speed to reach the endpoint. Guests were on board and had to be evacuated by staff. They received a drink and a pass to skip another queue as compensation. The coaster completed test runs afterwards and was expected to reopen the next day. A spokesperson said there was no major underlying problem: higher temperatures and a heavier load had combined to affect the train’s speed. Even so, the incident fitted into the ride’s sensitive early operating history after earlier technical disruptions.

Less than three weeks after opening, 100% Wolf showed the difficult side of launching a complex new coaster. Looopings reported that visitors regularly found the ride closed or operating with restrictions. Low temperatures played a role, but there were also technical disruptions and several closure days around the busy Easter period. Because 100% Wolf was being promoted as the park’s new headline attraction, the unstable start stood out even more. Gerstlauer installed a software update, after which the ride reopened, but only with one train at first. That pushed waits beyond ninety minutes. For guests, the new family coaster was available again, yet not yet delivering the capacity and reliability expected from a major seasonal novelty.

On 22 March 2026, 100% Wolf finally received its official opening at Plopsaland Deutschland. Looopings captured the ceremony, the themed area and the ride in a detailed video report. The coaster showed why the project had drawn so much attention: two lift hills, sharp turns, a tunnel through the wolf head, a steep dead-end hill and a backwards section. During the opening, two of the three trains were operating. The purple trains, wolf front and poodle detail tied the ride visibly to the Studio 100 story. Park director Bernd Beitz described 100% Wolf as a bridge between children’s attractions and more intense coasters. After delays and anticipation, the park finally gained its new family landmark.
