History
5 milestones tracing the story of River Splash.
Today’s River Splash belongs to Bagatelle’s long water-ride lineage. Listed in the history as opened in 1976, this flume remains a classic landmark built around the drop and splashes.
Before the 2006 season, the ride’s artificial cave catches fire. The episode leads to a reopening without scenery and becomes an important moment in the ride’s history.
ArticleOn 18 June 2006, the ride returns to service without its former scenery and under the Ch’Plouf identity. The reopening keeps the attraction in the season despite the fire.
In 2009, a new sprayed-concrete cave topped with a lighthouse is built. The reconstruction gives the route a strong visual marker again after the 2006 episode.
The ride changes identity as Ch’Plouf gives way to River Splash. The change helps trace how Bagatelle’s themes and names evolved over the seasons.
