Benin Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 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! J.S217 and Ian-S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 the park's so pretty ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 The shade of brown they painted the wheel doesn't go in my opinion but that's just me being picky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretchy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ho hum, This simply isn't a patch on merlins theming. I cant see a shipping container or dirty derelict building anywhere. Ian-S and Matt 236 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 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. BenC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's lovely to see a pathway so close to the track, without a huge fence and netting. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 H&S rules are very much more relaxed in The Netherlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm thinking once this opens, might need to give you and Baron some privacy. Matt 236, JoshC., EC! and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Everything on this is incredibly beautifully amazing. Layout aside. Oh I do love Efteling! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenC Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
