More context
Plopsaland Belgium received another burst of attention beyond the theme park world in November 2025, when Looopings reported that the trailer for the French-language family film À la Poursuite du Père Noël had gone online. The film had been shot in De Panne earlier that year and uses the park as the basis for the fictional Parc Enchanté.
Several familiar locations appeared in the trailer, including the Plopsaland Theater Hotel, Draconis, The Coffee Cups, the Samson & Marie carousel and Scooter, the local name by which The Bumper Cars is known among fans. That gave this classic family ride a small but visible role in an international film production.
For visitors and enthusiasts, the news is a modest but charming footnote in the attraction's history. The Bumper Cars is not a headline-grabbing thrill ride, yet it is exactly the kind of recognisable fairground-style ride that helps define Plopsaland's atmosphere. Its appearance in the trailer shows how the park's familiar Studio 100 setting was used to make a fictional Christmas theme park feel convincing.
