RCT3Bross Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Looks like the second half of this ride won't feel like a roll out Dive. I ain't getting my hopes up yet first I need to ride it to know. But it looks promising and good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideofSteel Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Wow that helix looks great! I think this has potential to be the best small dive machine yet. The layout is fantastic and the themeing looks great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I hate everything that has with coal to do, but this ride is just awesomely themed! Good thing you don't hate Baron 1898 because it isn't a coal-mine but a Gold-mine. The story is about a man finding some gold on cursed land and starts a mine while he gets plague by some ghost. Anyway good to see the track work complete, Now I really look forward to testing (although it will take a while don't expect it anytime sooner then mid May) really want to see it in action.

galahad Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This has to be the funkiest looking helix ever created by B&M! I wonder if you will feel airtime on that banked exit... The station building is just gorge! Really curious to see what kind of effects Efteling will come up with for pre-show, I hope something on the lines of the Flying Dutchman's holograms - if so it would be spectacular. Well done to the Dutch! They also seem to have started building the thingy under the lifthill, and the stone "base" of the supports. Thingy`s are fun. Also: Vijfzintuigen.nl/Twitter. Almost done.

Trevor Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 may someone ask where the inspiration came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Are you implying that Baron is a rip-off of Tower of Terror? Tower of Terror is a rip off of a gold mining tower, even if the tower itself is authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yeah I doubt the Baron is a full rip-off of Tower of Terror. Talking about the coaster the wheels on top of the tower have arrived: Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Looking pretty good. This will be a big hit for the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSophisticated Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Looking at the images, Tower of Terror indeed looks very similar to Baron 1898. However, the tower of Baron 1898 is based on the mining towers that are found in the south of Limburg (province of the Netherlands) and Belgium, which is how most mining towers look. Therefore you can't really call it a ripoff of another coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max.schollen Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Construction update 07-04-2015 ![youtu_be] [/youtu_be]Today, the wheel cap is placed on the housing of the wheel. There are many nice details on the hubcap. Bron De vijfzintuigen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugEyed Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Impressive attention to detail. Looking forward to the complete installation with landscaping in place. I fully expect this to be a stand out among themed coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 European parks crap all over the US parks (Outside of Disney and Universal of course) in regards to themeing. Baron is looking impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wow, theming of that scale and detail is rare, it's great seeing the whole area come together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm just still amazed at how so much is being put into this coaster! It's mind blowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinx Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 European parks crap all over the US parks (Outside of Disney and Universal of course) in regards to themeing. Baron is looking impressive. Can't forget about SeaWorld Parks. Manta is one of the prettiest coasters, imo! On-topic. This coaster is actually turning out just as the concept art was drawn, it's quite remarkable. The attention to detail on this coaster is more than I've ever seen. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atyourservice Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The image on the golden plate of the housing of the wheels, is amazing. It reflects the story of the attraction perfectly. The woman holds a cornucopia ('horn of plenty'), but this time it is not filled with all different kinds of fruit, nuts and flowers but with gold, pearls and diamonds. Than the woman who holds it, is one of the Witte Wieven: spirits of the earth who hinder or help people who encounter them. She's is basically teasing the dragon (famous for protecting but also greedy for gold). I believe the complete story of the ride is already been told somewhere in this topic, so I won't repeat it completely (go read it, and look at the image again), but I'm just amazed about how they really put thought in what was on those wheel housings. They even changed the design from the one on the original concept art from last year (reason #1: there was already a "lady in white" on top of the Villa Volta Madhouse, as part of the story, and reason #2: this one fits the story much, much better). Can't wait to see what the end result will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NieSch Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This is impressive. What will be the bigger experience: riding the rollercoaster or walking next to it and admiring it? Really looking forward to be visiting the Efteling this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 may someone ask where the inspiration came from? It's like saying Premier S:UF is a Maurer SkyLoop rip-off, just because they are some similarities, doesn't mean they are knock-offs. It's not like B&M will ever even come close to pushing 6.3G's... All the details made this ride looks so much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
