Jon Sabo Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 AWESOME theming (and pics). I kind of wish DK @ BGE had this similar style/theme in the sense that it has a castle-type feel and the colors of the "brickwork" has that haunting-type of feel.

Jeroen_twee Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 How much of this attraction is actually a walkthrough? The waiting line (im dutch) Its the first themed one in the Efteling, so the call it 'walktrough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippyTrick09 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Ok I just watched the video, and the water level Is supposed to be higher right? The Ride looks fun and I love the themeing... but is it just me, or does the bat look kinda creepy when it just splashed and si coming into the station? It just looks weird O well Thanks for the updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks weird O well Thanks for the updates! It has a controlled water level, so the ride also can be used in the winter. After the splash there is under water track with a chain system, to get you back to the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippyTrick09 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 My Guess is no.. The thing that made the loud soundis the roll back things you see on roller coaster lifts. The only reason they have them is because they do not want it to stop or float backwards on the track, and the water should cover up the sound... (did that make sense?)

Lights, for the Summereve's and the Winteropening! http://themepark.nl/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=1049185#Post1049185 This are new photo's of the boats and the splash. Water needs to get a little higher, and the lion gets small lights in his eye and a lamp in his mouth... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Hz--tUbX0 A movie of some people placing the boat...

zingo Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hahaha, One of our dijkes broke today, now the lake is totaly filled(at least the track is underwater. Ha, that what we call a controlled splash! Even the boot is themed! This is how we do that in the netherlands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Er, I was there today between 12 and 3, the tracks were above water again. Only the floating section was under water. I'm not able to post pictures for a while, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 This Coaster has some amazing theming, I bet 1/2 the cost went on Theming alone. Anyone know what happens inside the castle section...? How does the boat move when in the water...? De Efteling is my fav park for feeling like your not on Earth but somewhere else. When is it due to open as I asked one of the staff last week and he did not know.

ECZenith Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 OoOooo the boats are so well detailed! Do the lanterns really light up? This ride looks killer, hope I get out there someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I want to ride a water Coaster some day. I like water rides and I like Roller coasters. I bet they'll be my favorite rides for now on. The closet water coaster in the near future is possibly Posidon or Atlantica Suspersplash because I might be going to Holiday Park and Europa Park with my cousins in 2007 or 2008.

Jeroen_twee Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 This Coaster has some amazing theming, I bet 1/2 the cost went on Theming alone. Anyone know what happens inside the castle section...? No, just a little bit… The que is themed as the house of the captain, then a smugglersroute, a café ‘where the captain likes to drink’ (entrance of his secret route) and a double station themed just like the outside of the building. When going out on sea, there are 2 big ships. From then till the lifthill, nothing is clear… The Lifthill is going to be some of the don’t know english word for it stateu’s in front of the ships the Vliegende Hollander has attacked, coming through the water. In the end you hear: 'You too shall sail forever! Hahaha!’, see the captain and fall out of the tower… http://www.eftelist.nl/dvh/tekeningen/presentatie/presentatie_onderwereld.jpg How does the boat move when in the water...? A chain, I believe its called… Inside the building isnt known for shure, it can be boosters too… De Efteling is my fav park for feeling like your not on Earth but somewhere else. When is it due to open as I asked one of the staff last week and he did not know. Just keep looking at www.efteling.com! When I look at the boat is there no understop wheels? That was only when the boat gets on the track, inside the building they have put the understop on.This way the next boat can set on track faster! Do the lanterns really light up? Yes they do. The eye’s of the lion light up, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
