^ It looks like a great jigsaw puzzle of rooms and spaces, from above.

Can't wait to see how it all comes together, for the attraction!

[KBrylczyk]

I'm looking at those overhead shots trying to piece together some kind of layout and it just isn't happening. This ride should be something pretty special when it's completed.

 

Or, you know, they could just put you in a room with VR headsets and call it a ride (Thorpe).

To any Dutch speaking person on the forum.. Could you please translate for me the lyrics of the theme sung by the White ladies on both Baron's pre shows? I thank you in advance cheers

[MagicAngel94]

I think it will be like this. More or less

Pride goes before a fall.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Just a thought here, do you think this could be at least an element to this new attraction?

It looks like a neat concept and would fit the ride well.

That dome idea is not in the darkride but it will be full of projections, videomapping etc. (according to the latest rumors) The first (or last) scene will have the big blue dome which will be the star room.

^Thanks for posting all these updates, that looks like a good size queue and not too repetitive.

[RCT3Bross]

If this is final (I highly doubt there is much change) then I hate to see the Single rider line and normal entry next to one other again. They should have learn after Baron 1898 many people just look at the numbers and are shocked to find out that they have to split up at the end of the line.

Also seems like the same system as Baron will be used with the line ending before entering the building.

 

Overal better than the drawings submitted for Hartenhof (Queue is a great example.) much less a plain square and much more greenery. Although I hoped the lake side overwacht would have been kept alive. Oh well.

The highest point is reached!

This story is a hoax, there's no mention of plans for an attack on the efteling anywhere in the official police report.

 

But obviously any themepark could be a subject of a attack.

Great update, thanks!

[cookiex]

But th more interesting thing (to me at least), is this yet-another prototype, this time for a dark-ride:

 

 

They had a patent for it for years, but here they are making it for real.

 

 

And in action:

I could definitely see Disney or Universal wanting one of those if they can get it running on a track like the patent suggests.
