04 · The parks

What each one is.

Plopsaland

Plopsaland De Panne is a Belgian family theme park on the coast in De Panne, West Flanders, close to the French border. It's built around the Studio 100 TV characters (Plop the Gnome, Bumba, Maya the Bee) and runs a strong coaster line-up for a family park: Heidi the Ride (a GCI wooden coaster), Anubis (a launched inverted coaster), The Ride to Happiness (a triple-launch Mack coaster), and Kondor.

Belgian and Dutch school holidays, Halloween and the Christmas season drive Plopsaland's peak crowds. Weekdays in May, June and September are usually very relaxed. Check live queue times for The Ride to Happiness and Anubis on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd midweek date - the park pairs well with a North Sea coastal holiday.

Walibi Belgium

Walibi Belgium sits in Wavre in Walloon Brabant, about 30 minutes south-east of Brussels. It's Belgium's biggest theme park and packs a strong coaster line-up: Kondaa (the country's tallest and longest coaster), Pulsar (a water coaster with vertical drops), Psyké Underground (a launched coaster that goes indoors), and Loup-Garou wooden coaster. The park also runs a separate Walibi Aqualibi water park year-round.

Belgian, French and Dutch school holidays are the peak periods, with Halloween Fright Nights particularly busy. Check live queue times for Kondaa and Pulsar first thing on arrival - they build up quickly on busy days. Use our crowd calendar to pick a weekday outside Belgian school holidays for the shortest waits across the coaster line-up.
