April 13, 201510 yr comment_207152 Always reason to update it, but there's only so many ways one can say it looks fantastic... It's not even a surprise the details come coming...
April 14, 201510 yr comment_207233 Source (in Dutch) - http://www.vijfzintuigen.nl/forum/136/24466.186 I think this really shows the scale of the building we're looking at!
April 14, 201510 yr comment_207244 The shade of brown they painted the wheel doesn't go in my opinion but that's just me being picky!
April 14, 201510 yr comment_207246 I hope there's enough going on in that building to justify all the excitedness. I'd hate for it to be style over substance
April 14, 201510 yr comment_207253 My concern is that looking at it - there's not going to be that sexy dark ride bit like DVH bit hopefully the queue will be of similar quality.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_207313 Ho hum, This simply isn't a patch on merlins theming. I cant see a shipping container or dirty derelict building anywhere.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_207323 I've been 3 times now. Efteling is a lovely park which finds a theming balance somewhere in the middle of Phantasialand and Europa-Park. It does, however, lack in terms of ride stock and on busier days queues get long and they don't extend. Operational standards vary, too. In fact, they close rides earlier than ride close to run off the queue which is very irritating. It isn't perfection but is a lovely place to just 'be'. Some of their thematic detail is truly wonderful.
April 16, 201510 yr comment_207450 Both wheels are up and christ does this thing look good! I take back what I said about not liking the shade of brown... Photo from vijfzintuigen.nl
April 17, 201510 yr comment_207498 This thing is just I won't even be annoyed if it's not open when I go as long as I can stare at it I want one! With this <3 PLEASEEEEEE! Don't want to wait two months The coaster may turn out meh but it'll look superb! And to think these will spin http://www.vijfzintuigen.nl/
April 17, 201510 yr comment_207501 Bear in mind only the spokes of the wheel will spin... Very unfortunate really... Looks amazing though... Surprised they haven't tested it at all yet though...
April 17, 201510 yr comment_207509 It's lovely to see a pathway so close to the track, without a huge fence and netting.
April 17, 201510 yr comment_207512 Well health and safety put the huge fences and netting there. It would seem that efteling are in a place with a little more relaxed rules, or they have something else that satisfies H&S.
April 19, 201510 yr comment_207586 Surely because there's no pattern on the thick outside park of the wheels, it will be harder to notice that it's not spinning too?
April 19, 201510 yr comment_207594 I'm thinking once this opens, might need to give you and Baron some privacy.
April 30, 201510 yr comment_208381 Sickening. I love it <3 There's no point in me even commenting my opinion on this coaster anymore as it's always going to be positive. EDIT - I just watched the video again, and noticed this which I probably should have listened to before. This thing will be amazing.
April 30, 201510 yr comment_208384 Everything on this is incredibly beautifully amazing. Layout aside. Oh I do love Efteling! <3
May 1, 201510 yr comment_208410 Efteling recorded a +6% rise in attendance to 4.4m in 2014, despite no new attractions that year. The increase in guests was largely driven by foreign visitors, and might put the Park at #3 or #4 in Europe now (possibly displacing Tivoli Copenhagen / Studios Paris - complete figures from AECOM to come soon). Odds on that Baron will contribute to even greater success this year... http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/23987773/__Recordaantal_bezoekers_Efteling__.html Growth even when nothing new is added - a mark of a quality product
May 1, 201510 yr comment_208414 They're also bigging up the UK market this year so it'll be interesting to see if that impacts further on the attendance, since atm it's a very small number of guests...
