At Plopsaland De Panne, a bird has chosen one of the inversions of the “Ride to Happiness” roller coaster as the location for its nest, demonstrating that the attraction appeals not only to park visitors but also to wildlife.

Discovery of the Nest

The “Ride to Happiness” roller coaster at Plopsaland De Panne, renowned for its spectacular design and a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour, has attracted an unusual inhabitant. At one of the lofty heights of the ride, precisely in an inversion, a bird has built its nest. The discovery was made accidentally by a park visitor who recorded the bird's behavior. The bird flies away each time the spinning cars of the roller coaster rush by, only to return to its nest shortly after.

Management's Response

The management of Plopsa responded quickly to the unusual situation. It was decided to remove the nest carefully to ensure both the safety of the park visitors and the well-being of the bird. The removal is scheduled for the upcoming Monday and will be carried out before the regular opening hours of the park using a cherry picker. The park management emphasized that animal welfare is a priority in all actions taken.

The incident highlights the need to regularly inspect attractions for unexpected obstacles, especially those located in areas with high animal populations. Plopsaland De Panne is known for its efforts to provide a balanced space for humans and nature.
