Progress: Because the 'barn' of the darkride Dreamflight is visible from the parking lot and would clash with Ravelin (which lies right next to it) they gave it a little makeover. What once looked like this with camouflage paint (at this picture the camouflage paint is already rubbed off): Turned into... ... this!

George and the Dragon, the newest woody of GCI, opened in the Efteling today. Time to move on to the next project of the Efteling: Ravelin, old Dutch; Raveleijn. Ravelin will be themed as a compact, flourishing, medieval city. The backside of the building, facing towards the park's parking lot and a public road, will be themed as a majestic renaissance building. There will be a restaurant and multiple offices inside the building. The exterior of the building will be the decor for a huge, expensive, new park show. Around the central building they will build a themed grandstand. The opening is scheduled for spring 2011. The project costs 30 million euros, approximately 38 million US dollars.

Take a look at his little gay hand. No, you're just a lovely dragon. The swamp is coming... The dragon does follow the movement of the trains during the entire ride. Even when you are on the lifthill he is already trying to scare you away with his angry face and smoking nostrils. Awesome interaction!

^ No idea. The swamp is coming. We still need some water, more vegatation and fog. POV shot! The comments at the ride given by both coaster experts and rookies are really good.

... and still testing. A new video of the ride: The theming is not yet completely done. In just a few weeks you'll experience a misty swamp.

Yeah, there are: Today the first public (preview) rides are going to take place. This is the brand new music for Joris en de Draak. There are different versions, for example: a more mysterious version for the misty swamps they have created around the new coaster, but the central theme (tatataaa, tatatataaataaa) will most likely be the same in all versions:

Wow, this lovely dragon is huuuge.
