Plopsa orders a spectacular flying ride
In February 2015, Plopsa announced a 22-metre Gerstlauer Sky Fly for Holiday Park. The interactive flying ride replaced the demolished Bounty Tower and let riders decide how often they would flip upside down.
More context
Plopsa announced in early 2015 that Holiday Park would receive a striking new flying ride. The attraction did not yet have a name, but the ride type was already clear: a Sky Fly from German manufacturer Gerstlauer, with twelve tilting aircraft gondolas and a height of 22 metres. For the German Plopsa park, the purchase marked a clear move toward a more interactive thrill experience.
The appeal was not only the height, but the amount of control given to riders. Guests could use two small wings beside their seat to decide whether they wanted a gentle flight or a gondola that flipped repeatedly. That made Sky Fly more than a traditional spinning ride: every cycle depended on the courage and skill of the passengers on board.
The addition was announced during a staff event and then confirmed by Holiday Park. Looopings also noted that Gerstlauer had recently pointed to strong European demand for this ride type. Sky Fly replaced the older Bounty Tower, which had already been demolished. In 2015, Holiday Park therefore gained a modern eye-catcher that fitted Plopsa’s broader strategy of gradually refreshing its existing parks.
