Benin Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I prefer Krake (and Oblivion, obvs) to the bigger brothers of Griffon and Shakira... At least the smaller ones have some actual force to the drops... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 As you know, I disagree. Krake sends me to sleep. Absolutely LOVE Griffon! However this is about theming which looks superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gijs1898 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hey guys,After months of work, I finished my project: a 3D on-ride of Baron 1898.So, do you want to experience what it’s like to ride Baron 1898?Check out this video: http://youtu.be/h9LmgNDF3_4 Greetings, Gijs de Groot (15 years old)PS I got permission from the Efteling to publish this video.

pluk Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Nice work!f If tthat turns out to be accurate it should be great ride. Some of those maneuvers look pretty tight for a dive machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterio Ka Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's supposed to have a very tight helix. I think it's the tightest one of a B&M that isn't inverted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Looks about the same as Daemonen at Tivoli Gardens in terms of tightness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 More pics are up: Source - http://www.vijfzintuigen.nl/forum/136/24466.160 The detailing is ridiculous... Even Europa would struggle to be better than this (that said, their repainting of the Seastorm ride is equally ridiculous)...

pluk Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 That second inversion looks insanely tight for a dive coaster, should be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenC Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Can we just take a moment to appreciate the real quality we have on our doorstep in Europe... to have the likes of Efteling and Europa Park only 2 hours away from us is pretty sweet. (And then to have a supporting cast of the likes of PortAventura, Phantasialand and Disneyland Paris et al is even sweeter.) Baron looks superb; short, but then all Dive Machines are. Have to say I'm a fan of both the monster B&M divers and the smaller ones - Krake was especially good. BA already has my cash for a jaunt to Holland later this year (£80 return to Amsterdam... bargain!) AstroDan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Anyone know the best way to get to Efteling from Amsterdam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Train to S'Hertonbosch (or whatever the place is called), then a bus... SImples... And here's the ride's entrance: Mysterio Ka, Altitude, JoshC. and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterio Ka Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 My main issue with the layout that I can see is it really doesnt seem to flow between elements. The zero G looks like it shouldve twisted the other way to make the dive loop (or immelmen or whatevers) exit more smooth and then it would enter the helix in a great line. Of course, I can't say that yet as I haven't seen a POV or ridden it, but nonetheless the line the ride takes could be very purposeful, and besides, the theming and the tightness of these elements makes for an exciting project.
