Seats hang at 25 metres: Plopsaland swing ride stops for twenty minutes
Nachtwacht-Flyer stopped while descending, leaving eighteen guests temporarily suspended at height before they were safely brought down.
More context
This article covers an operational incident involving Nachtwacht-Flyer itself. While the gondola was being lowered, the tall swing ride at Plopsaland Belgium stopped, leaving eighteen guests temporarily suspended at around 25 metres. The fire brigade was called as a precaution, but park staff managed to get the attraction moving again after about twenty minutes. All riders returned safely to the ground.
For visitor information, this is an important article because it concerns the ride’s operation and incident handling rather than its theming. The consequences were limited: no fire brigade rescue was needed, and Plopsa offered affected guests a drink and a priority pass for another attraction. The report also adds historical context by noting that the ride opened in 2006 and previously carried the names SpringFlyer and ROX-Flyer. In that way, it connects the current Nachtwacht-Flyer identity with the longer life cycle of the same Funtime Star Flyer.
