Illegal_Alien Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Python Plus would have 5 trains which would give it a capacity of 3500 passengers per hour. In comparison; Vogelrok, with 3 trains will reach "only" 1600 per hour. Also, the Vogelrok was moneywise not possible, but they still build it.

Moose Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think there is a far better chance that python will be removed completely than being plussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volgera Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 That definitely yes. However, I don't think (and hope) that they will break down the Python anytime soon. Rumors of the carts being gone is complete rubbish as I've seen them both this past weekend. On top of that, they're currently making a new coaster already, and have made 2 other 'big' attractions in the past 3 years (which means they've spent a LOT of money). So breaking down a ride that currently functions perfectly fine would be a stupid idea if they don't plan on building anything new anytime soon (which is most likelly the case since there's been a lot of new attractions in the last few years).

Illegal_Alien Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Efteling will keep building, you still have Hartenhof, or some other stuff without we knowing. (Like the Baron ). And no, I don't think the Python will be leaving soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Construction is again at full speed after a holiday break. Lots brickwork and preparatory work for decorations it also seems that almost all the footers are ready. Lifthill footers Pre-show entrance and tower. Footers for probably the helix Station Preparing decoraion work The ride will be very visible Birdview source: vijfzintuigen.nl/forum/136/24466.94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 ^That theming is looking really impressive. Can't wait to see the lift hill go up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbolaaf Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The Efteling is still one of those parks that can compete with Disney Paris and Europapark when it comes to theming and rides in their park. Europapark is growing a lot more in these day's but when it comes to authentic theming, Efteling sure is one of the better parks out there. At least, thats how i think about it.

RCT3Bross Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 A small update around Baron 1898. Seeing these footers the pattern tells me a lot about the final lay-out. I believe we have a Immlemann followed by a Zero G Roll, followed by the Helix followed by a Camelback with a turn into the brakes. Station is getting really close to being closed. another roof closed. One of the final footers of the Zero G roll. Windows are hanging on the walls of the tower. I still hope my next visit I'll see some steel here. Brick work is very well underway around the building. That it for this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illegal_Alien Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Python ist going anywhere soon. On another note; Garner Holt will be making the animatronic in the Baron 1989 building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 And a new update today. first a video [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] And some pictures Entrance some of the first roof tiles and brick work details Other preparatory roof work Station Thanx to Eftelwesley Source: vijfzintuigen.nl/forum/136/24466.98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 So worked on mapping the footers of the Baron: Red footers are round footers, are Green Squared (Coloured are connected). Blue of course Tunnel. I'm 100% convinced of that I have processed all footers and in the correct color (own experience in the park and look at photos). On the basis of this I made this la-out: 1 = Chain lift. 2 = Tunnel. 3 = Immlemann. 4 = Zero G Roll (Small chance on Camelback). 5 = Helix. 6? = Camelback? (Space is there and footers indicate that it may, or up a hill and into the turn down the brakes?) 7 = Brake. 8 = Station. I thought I might share this to get other people's insight about the footer placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I like that B&M is getting more creative with there dive layouts. I think Baron 1898 and Oblivion TBH will be the first ones to have zero g-rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAngel94 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 the number 6 are definitely the first brake section the same footers and the layout is the same as the gardaland dive coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 the number 6 are definitely the first brake section the same footers and the layout is the same as the gardaland dive coaster The layout of Oblivion TBH at Gardaland is not the same as Baron 1898 at Efteling. It is likely that they have the same elements. But the sequence of elements is different. Number 6 could still be a camelback. Baron 1898 has its transfer track between the station and the lifthill, at Oblivion TBH the transfer track is before the station. The station of Baron 1898 will have a double loading/unloading platform so I still don't think number 6 will be a brake section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 the number 6 are definitely the first brake section the same footers and the layout is the same as the gardaland dive coaster To be honest I missed something at the end on number 7: I came across this error when I took another look at the drawing of the end of the ride (the one that was photographed near the start of construction), Just now I found photo's that confirmed the error, the reason for me to make the error where that other pictures had piles of sand in front of the other footer giving me the illusion there was only one instead of the dubble. If you look good at the last 3 red footers they're getting closer together each time, this makes me think only more that 6 isn't the brakes yet and more like a Flug der Dämonen (Heide Park) brake at number 7.

RCT3Bross Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Interesting to hear that the lift structure is coming from Budapest (Hungary). For the rest good to hear construction hasn't got any blow so far and we will see the lift and track in the beginning of February and I'll be looking forward to it. Really looking forward for my next visit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 ^Budapest? I wonder why. Specialization, crafts, skills, money? Website of the Hungarian constructor: http://www.stakotra.sk/ It looks they did a lot more coaster constructions. I really like the look of the poster. And I also like the other design that can be seen on the fence. Source: http://www.vijfzintuigen.nl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adervus Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Edit: Sorry, the video has been posted already. Nevertheless, nice insights. New making of video with some nice timelaps scenes. Also the team visited Heide Park for inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion100 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Website of the Hungarian constructor: http://www.stakotra.sk/ Yes, they even did the Top Thrill Dragster tophat support construction. You can see it on the their site. http://www.stakotra.sk/dragster.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Stakotra build tracks for Intamin, Maurer, Gertslauer, Zamperla... They are not new to the business. But here, there are only building the supports, aren't they? The track work is left to OCEM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yes Stakotra is only building the supports and probably only the supports of the lifthill. Track work is done by Clermont Steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
