Plopsaland defends selfie-stick vlog in The Rabbits
Plopsaland defended an official vlog showing an employee using a selfie stick on The Rabbits, despite the strict ban for guests. The children’s ride briefly became part of a wider debate about filming and safety rules.
More context
An official Plopsa vlog sparked discussion around The Rabbits at the end of 2016. In the video, a Plopsa employee filmed herself with a selfie stick during a ride on the children's attraction, even though the park had a strict ban on such devices in rides. For regular guests, using one could lead to removal from the park and an administrative fine under the park rules.
The moment stood out because The Rabbits is not an intense thrill ride, but a gentle family attraction with a Kabouter Plop atmosphere. That made the policy feel especially visible: Plopsaland was not only targeting roller coasters or high-speed rides, but also calm children's attractions. Fans questioned the example set by the official video, since guests themselves were not allowed to behave in the same way.
Plopsa defended the recording by drawing a line between staff and visitors. A permanent employee wearing a badge, the park argued, knew what was allowed and how to handle the risks, while guests with loose camera equipment could endanger themselves, other visitors or the attraction. For The Rabbits, this was not a major construction or opening story, but it became a telling footnote in the ride's public history: a small children's ride briefly sat at the centre of a wider debate about filming, social media and safety rules at Plopsaland.
