Efteling Discussion Thread

Well, still sounds like something similar to Krake. Maybe a Krake clone with a bonus helix? -

How about an X-Car SkyLoop XT-900? -
This is kind of random, hearing so much great reviews about Tornado at Bakken, I thought it could be ranked much higher than #195. Is that because people think it's too intense? How about Saw-The Ride? Is it because of the Gerstlauer rattle? Excalibur at Valleyfair! Looks like a fun ride on the POV's, is it because of the roughness and the length? What happened to Drayton Manor's G-Force? I've heard a lot of negative review about that ride but no one explained why. I think Ocean Park's Dragon deserves a higher place, I've never had a rough experience on it, always a smooth and fun little Arrow Looper with the world's first Sidewinder element.

Any idea why Mack test the train without parts of them? Bluefire testes without basically anything and Helix tests without the lead car. -

I found some of Davey Wavey's videos very funny, a lot of my classmates watch his videos as well.

B&M please please please make something new on this one! Efteling deserves something one of its kind. -
Own a Park or Design the Rides?
gerstlaueringvar replied to djboss302's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Owning a park like Lagoon where the park designs their own rides would be great. -

Design the rides. Crazy ideas always bump up in my head. I am more of a physics people than a business people. And if I ever own a park or even a park chain, I think I will spend way too much money on Intamin rides and finally run into bankruptcy -

Has Beast ever run without any of the trims? Is there a video? -

^ I think Swedish coaster war is actually started. Now wait for Gröna Lund to make their next step. -

^ I'm actually kind of afraid to do that on Sleeping Bull. If it has seat belts, I would do that because a tiny seat belt can keep me on the seat even if I fell asleep. -

^ After NTaG, I only do it on coasters with OTSR's (including a HUGE gap on Maverick to enjoy the insane first drop at the back row) If you know the rides that don't have fast lane or similar systems and hit those rides before the crowd arrives. -

^Love this video! I believe he wasn't disappointed at all about this huge project. Still remember watching his interview video when they started to construct Helix. He is a lucky CEO! Anyone found the top hat looks so wrong but so great? The shape of it looks like there would be some snappy transitions while having some nice hang time. -

If you turn your ear phone to the maximum volume to hear the Arrow chain lift sound while watching a POV. -
TR: Chimelong Ocean Kingdom With FOTR POV!

Yes, it is happening, but right now I have no further info about it other than the rumored Intamin Pre-fab woodie. -

Here are some pictures of Polar Explorer's queue line. Some of the decorations are REAL antique that Chimelong bought back from Europe. Photo credit: Jia Lin. Any New Yorker here? -
TR: Chimelong Ocean Kingdom With FOTR POV!
gerstlaueringvar replied to gerstlaueringvar's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^ the price of one day admission has raised to approximately $61, which is way too much for at least half of the Chinese population. I doubt their annual visitor attendance can compete with MK but from my visit during Lunar New Year vacation and the insane number of visitors last Saturday, seems like they are ready to break the single day record of MK this summer. For a Tuesday, the park is still pretty busy today with 30-45mins wait on most rides. Visitor attendance was around 18,000 today. -

Amazing POV! Finally got to see a high quality Beast POV. And congratulations of this video becoming KI's official Beast POV!
