Family theme park owned by television company Studio 100. The park's rides and attractions are based on the company's various childrens TV shows. Prior to 2000, the park was known as Meli-Park and had a bee/honey theme. In 2017, Plopsaland added a new family wooden roller coaster themed to the TV show Heidi that was built by Great Coasters International. The area resembles a traditional Swiss village. Other lands are themed to Wickie (Vicky) the Viking, Kabouter Plop (Plop the gnome), and House of Anubis. The Anubis roller coaster, built by Gerstlauer, features an unexpectedly strong rolling launch.
