Benin Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 ^ Same Although I'll be in Amsterdam to start with, so hopefully there's trains to Efteling... Plenty of trains then a bus to the park... It's easy to get to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 New video of the construction of Baron 1898! I found this image on NLE, and if the plans turn out to be accurate height wise, this thing will look fantastic <3 I'm so excited!

Benin Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 What's amazing from those behind the scenes videos is the amount of thought and effort that has been put into the design and ideas of not just the ride, but the surrounding area and buildings... Considering this is a ride that really never made sense for Efteling to build in the first place, it's great to see it being taken incredibly seriously... pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 ^ Can I ask why it doesn't make sense for Efteling? This ride is highly themed, it follows a fantasy-style narrative and it quenches the park's thirst for another thrilling coaster since the last one was Python! I think it's kinda perfect tbh, especially how they've managed to soften the impact of the B&M track on the rest of the park using the theming on the highest point! I do completely agree that the thought that has gone into this is fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Simply put, a giant B&M Dive Machine is a massive stand-out thing to the rest of the park... It's a typical quaint European park, with a massive Forest in one corner, and every other coaster bar Python fitting in because they're either indoors or made of wood... It had the potential to be like Spinball, out of place and completely wrong for the park... Especially as the location for the ride is more central than say Python, which is pretty much hidden at the back of the park... Fortunately they've made the correct design choices it would seem to ensure that the only impact this ride will have is visual interest, especially if the Dutch love it as much as the Germans love Krake... pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 ^ Yeah I suppose I agree, although Spinball will always be far worse! I think 100ft is the right height though, and the colour is perfect for the park. If they plonked a Sheikra in there, that would be bad!

Altitude Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm still trying to figure out whether the green metal structure will remain on show from the outside. On the concept art there are green wooden beams, but not metal. I've also been researching on the dutch forums and nobody on those knows either! Can't wait to see this thing built though <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Efteling- theming work is still on going as well as building work, no sign of ride yet Gardaland- ride's finished and no signs of theming, The difference between Merlin & Efteling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Efteling- theming work is still on going as well as building work, no sign of ride yet Gardaland- ride's finished and no signs of theming, The difference between Merlin & Efteling Kinda seems like a bit of a non-point, since many parks will work on theming after they've finished the main ride system. Look at where Swarm was at this point in 2011 - a slight bit of the plane structure and the body of a building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Also, Efteling wanted to get the station building up before any serious frost turned up, something Garda don't really need to worry over... In other news, the third version of Aquanura premiered today, which seemingly involved remixes of ride themes from DJ Tiesto... I hope they have a video like before, because it sounds amazing...

Altitude Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Shame Tiesto is awful then. What I'm wondering is why they built the building before placing all the internal track? They'll have a job feeding the start of the lift into the hole in the building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Here's a version from the park itself: I'm not that sure on it, the idea is still fab though... Then I'm not particularly fond of what version 2 is like these days compared to what I saw back in Feb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 That is a bit mental, in a good way, I think. Doesn't really go anywhere though, it displays all of its tricks in the first couple of minutes, then does the same thing for 10 more.

Worthy9992 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am hoping to do a trip in September. I would like some help what is the best way to get there via plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Whilst I've never been (like most Europe parks bar Tivoli), I believe you can get Easyjet flights to Amsterdam via all the big london airports (Luton definitely does this). Then once you arrive, there's several train routes you can take to the nearby area. These links may help http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g188584-d262610-r49158237-Efteling-Kaatsheuvel_North_Brabant_Province.html http://eftelinguk.com/getting-there/ Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
