The movie is really good, but I still can't believe how slow it goes along the track. I can't wait until the water is added.

[SharkTums]

the first video was WAY better!

[FlippyTrick09]

The ride is very loud, can I hear neighbor complaints in the future? I think the ride looks, and will be awsome. Does the ride head staright to the lift when it leaves the station or does it have anamatronics? Can't wait for the POV!- Mitchell

It has a darkride inside, you follow a storyline

 

 

 

I don't think the efteling will open this ride with the current noise, they are working on all of their attractions to get them as silent as possible, they will test things with this ride too I guess

[SLUSHIE]

When they fill the area with water it will dampen a lot of the clicking noise.

 

I just watched all the videos, and the fist one with the interview n stuff is great, the line looks awsome.

PReety good. Still really loud though. It still looks really cool though. WHen will they add the water?

WOW! SPiffy Boats! I though the red ones was the boats, but I'm glad they aren't! I like the head rests oo.. Are they padded cause they look like it and that is why I like them Haha THANKS-Mitchell

In the dutch themepark de Efteling the boats have arrived for the new rollercoaster De Vliegende Hollander (the Flying Dutchman). Dutch forums are really happy with this news because we're waiting for it a long time!! This coaster is a mix from a walkthrough/darkride/rollercoaster and a splash and is the expensivst (i'm dutch ) ride in the park. If you want to see pictures from the boats and the attraction check out this site --> http://themepark.nl/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1041905&an=0&page=0#Post1041905

 

(sorry for the bad language, i'm from holland )

[Jeroen_twee]

Most expensive... I'm Dutch too.

 

But the waterlevel is not jet right, so the splash gets bigger. I want to ride it!

 

EDIT:

 

A movie!

Links sucks, you need the pictures here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Splashtest!

 

At the cost of 20 milion euros ,'De vliegende Hollander'(The Flying Dutchman) is the most expensive ride ever build in The Efteling. The park wanted a Ride that could function in both summer and winter, but it still had to have a splash. It uses tubes on both sides of the boat to scoop up the water. These tubes can be removed in winter.

 

Th ride also futures a darkride, they say its goign to use never seen before technics to make this darkride.

[thomas2]

Well that's great news!!! I've waited so long for this ride! Looks like Python won't be the number one coaster of the park anymore (IMO)

[ECZenith]

Ooooo, extreme theming!

 

Looks great now that the lagoon is filled up! How much of this attraction is actually a walkthrough?

[rollermonkey]

There's probably zero chance of this being open when I get there next week.

 

[stormrider]

Ah, so that whole roll back thing before was because they used makeshift lightweight test boats instead? I guess I judged Kumbak too soon!
