Just did Joris en de Draak (George and the Dragon) water track at the Efteling.

^ Looking good. Finally the piece of theming i really wanted to see.

Onride is looking good. This ride is looking very good.

Love the trains, the closed front looks better than the railing normal Millennium flyers have. The theming also looks great: The gate, statues and the station all look good. Well the station looks a bit empty at the outside (I'm talking about the massive amount of un-themed red wood.) the inside looks amazing. Great addition to the park. Can't wait till the first complete onride of this one.

Thanks for the pictures. The krake/Shipwreck looks awesome. It is really big if you whats at it now. I thought it was less big before the pictures of the trains coming trough the thing. No way I'm not going to Heide-Park this year now I'm really exited to ride Krake. Edit: I took a better look at the bats but to me they don't scream "Winged coaster". No whit the chandelier on the other picture it screams more like Haunted to me. I think its more like a (partly) indoor attraction. Come to think of it. Doesn't Heide Park open there doors next weekend not this weekend? Was there some special event today?

Sorry if my interpretation is wrong of what your saying, but if that sign stand where you say, wasn't I right? Well if they don't plan to build something there for 2014 they will have a big gap in Transilvanien for a long time. It's a big space to let open for years to come. Well time has to tell what it could be. Although I prefer a flying over a winged coaster time still has to tell us if its a B&M or not, still we don't know for sure its a coaster.

Please let it be true, please let it be true. Then finally a Flying coaster that isn't that far away anymore. Well I can't get to exited it's not sure that it will be a flying. Seeing the board I do think of a coaster: "It is big, It is fast" part gives me that feeling. The: "Germany's premiere 2014" part sure sounds interesting. Wonder where it comes. Big chance that it comes on the site of the former Wildwasserbahn II, they didn't remove that for no reason plus it's part of the theming ground that stands on the board: "Transsilvanien". Although I never been to the park yet (planning this year for the first time) seeing the park on google maps its a great place for a coaster. Strange that this already standing there. I mean the 2012 season has yet to start and they already promoting a ride for the 2014 season. Couldn't they wait for 2013 to set the board there? No complaining form me but I think its strange. No those are Bats. But hey a Wingride sounds awesome too. I wouldn't mind seeing that appear.

^Sounds good. But I'm a bit optimistic about it. It will be awesome is it goes over 115 Km/h this will make it faster than Colossos at Heide-Park who is currently the fastest wooden coaster of Europa.

Update from Heide-Park: I personalty think it doesn't work well from the distance, only the mouth is showing good. But it could be the picture.

But what would you say about a small thrill that doesn't even have to be a coaster? I love good theming as well thats why I am happy that the Efteling is so close at home for me. But every time I visit the park I have a empty feeling because I also like a good thrill (big or small). A small thrill will make this park complete, and will help them to there goal of 5 million visitors for 2020. Maybe it seems like I trying to fight for a thrill for myself, but thats not the case here.

You know this is a subject that comes forward a lot. Does or doesn't the Efteling need (or can use) a Thrill? I personal think that they mis a thrill. The park is good but you at the end of the day you miss that thrill they don't got. They just don't have the complete attraction offer and the last years the focus on the families with younger is grown to big, and still they want to go a million visitors up the upcoming 8 years. Of course they better of leaving the competition highest, fastest or biggest besides them, a small thrill will do also. But I wonder what does the international park/coaster fans about the Efteling? So let us (the Dutch) know if you think that they can use a thrill.

Looks good. Those soldiers look amazing had to look twice to see they weren't real, because first thing I thought they where actors. It looks better en better every time I watch.

Looks like the X-Flight drop is lower, maybe that has something to do whit the drops being different. Ass the swarm can complete the twist completed before entering the half loop that from X-Flight is ending in the half looping. My theory is that if they completed the half twist like they did whit swarm the half looping would be sharp, what could have lead that the car wouldn't make it or the forces would be to high. The Swarm was high enough to make a complete half twist on top before would make the drop. That the twist is opposite could be for the feeling thats what I think. This is my theory about the different drops, of course I don't know it for sure. So I based this on thinks I noticed right away and thought of why these differences where there.

Looks good. Looks that it has a great speed in it also. Can't wait for the trains to get there theming and then some pictures of them riding the track.

Man it looks great can't wait to see it in real life From the Facebook of Heide-Park.

I always found age restrictions a bit stupid. I never found a good reason for age restrictions what are those attractions that they have a age restriction? Alright I heard of the English coaster Saw the ride, don't know if it has a age limit but if there is I would say yes because some things at the ride and queue are probably better to be unseen if you are 6 year old. But Black mamba at Phantasialand has a age limit I know for sure, but there I think of: Why because its intense or something? So I think you should look at each attraction as a individual and look at the theme for most of it. Like i said about Saw and 6 year olds, a 6 years old could be very traumatized seeing a dead body covered in blood.

^ The would stand there perfectly. I was the wolfs completely forgotten but it was one of my favorite pieces of theming about this coaster. Hope they going to spit real fire but don't see any gas pipes going up to the top.

^Looking good. This is the one of the most beautiful wooden coasters of Europa. Can't wait anymore on the testing pictures and videos and of course for the onrides.

That onride looks very slow. But the rest looks good even the layout so I don't care much that its a bit slow.

^Omg I saw the trailer of that movie because I wanted to know why it would remind you of that movie. If that thing makes you think of that movie I can only react like: , and after that I would do this: . So you see a giant v-gyna whit teeth in that? Lol.

I thought that was the orange one. I looked closely and saw some orange colors coming under the plastic sheeting. But yeah it is covered so it is hard to tell, It could be the blue one it could be the orange one. I'll take your word if you say blue.

Four Trains? I only saw red, orange and green on this thread, I looked trough the tread and haven't seen blue for the last 10 pages. So does anyone have seen a picture of the blue one and could (s)he post it here? I hope the fifth is yellow because that would fit more whit the other four. I can't see how black would fit whit the four so far.

Nr. 4 is online. <4>

Apparently, the krake was hungry according Heide-Park. Finally the mouth. Looks good Heide-Park, looks good. Hope I can make the dive this year in this great piece of theming. Source: Heide-Park facebook page.

I don't expect something big here. I think it's a big chance that there going to preform a new show. Would be more logic. The building stood there the last day of winter Phantasialand 2011 2012, to break it down and set something new up so fast I don't believe. But I would be surprised if this is completely new.
