Efteling Baron 1898 Media Day
BackseatBoss replied to vuurvogel's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's not the biggest or fastest, but the theming and detail really make me want to ride that! Thanks. -
We were at the park yesterday (Monday) from 4-10, and had a great time. It ended up being a pretty well-rounded trip and was definitely worth it. Here are some pictures.... Why not use an old queue as an ad for fright fest? Formerly the Ragin Cajun station. Goliath looking good as always. Station walk up in the middle of the day? Thank you single rider line! It ended up being a 15 minute wait vs the 75 minute wait in the normal line. For you lift hill enthusiasts. Got two rides on this, and it was running pretty good as always. I love the pacing after this ride, it's one thing after another. Yes, it is short, but it packs quite a punch into that time. Pardon my thumb. Seeing this at Superman and Goliath practically made the trip to the park worth it. Hardly anyone uses them too, Superman became a walk-on all day in the single rider line. What??? While Red was doing double rides all day, Blue side has a parternship with the Blue Man Group. There are banners building up excitement along the whole queue with activities and trivia. Blue side was a 10 min wait, red looked longer though thanks to the double rides. It was only about 20 min for this too. It's very re-rideable and was doing double rides in the last hour. Southwest Territory. This makes the park look empiter than it was, but once it hit 7:30 or 8 people really started leaving and lines became reasonable. You can always count on Demon to have a walk-up. Always. Not the best picture, but this area really does add a lot to the park IMO. It almost gives me a Disneyland vibe with the train station and flag, etc. (Almost) The Peking Acrobats. We really enjoyed this show, if you're in the park I recommend seeing it. It's a good mix of danger, comedy, and entertainment, plus it's only 30 min. Pro tip: Right next to the Fresh Cafe (by Superman) there's this circular building. There are all kinds of tables and chairs set up in there to eat, plus the AC is really high, making it perfect for hot days. Hardly anybody knows about it, so it's a great place to reenergize in the quiet. Ended with a 35 minute wait for the front row on this beauty. It was by far our longest wait of the day, but so worth it. Can't get enough of American Eagle at night. That's all! I didn't have a lot to say, but it sounds like there are some more reports coming from others soon. I really did enjoy the 6 hours, it ended up being a great time with a good balance of coasters, flat rides, and a show.

Photo TR: Tayto Park
BackseatBoss replied to StealthFan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm so glad to see another Gravity Group coaster, this one looks great. As for the park, there's just something cool about building a park "from scratch" and watching it develop over the years. It doesn't look like they'll be slowing down either. -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
BackseatBoss replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was waiting for Shivering Timbers last year and it happened to be Friday the 13th, so the kids in front of me were thinking that it went faster because of Friday the 13th... -
Underrated Coasters?
BackseatBoss replied to Yero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hopefully this isn't a repost, but Zippin Pippin at Bay Beach. The back provides a great kick and it's only $1 to ride! It's at a very small park and is highly underrated IMO. -
GCI: Are Their Days Over?
BackseatBoss replied to chadster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Funny thing, I was actually just thinking about GCI this morning in class and I remembered how much I loved Prowler and Renegade a few years ago. I'm eager to see what happens in the future with them, I'm convinced that they're not done. RMC coasters are definitely the fad right now, so only time will tell what happens. -
I was able to watch the Paint the Night and Disneyland Forever first shows last night and all I can say is I wish I was there! Paint the Night looked to be a really high energy, modern show, and the projections during Disneyland Forever looked like they added a lot. Was anybody there who can give their thoughts?
