^ Man, that's going to look so epic and imposing, once people come into the park, and see this.

Anyone else who can't see these pictures? Or am I the only one?

I wonder what they have up their sleeve for 2018 or 2019. They don't seem to like standing still.

There is also news from coasterside;

 

The Python will get its biggest maintenance (3 months) since her construction. Rumours are that there will be a (partly) retrack of this old lady. (1981).

 

It is an old coaster but it started how the Efteling has become now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(Efteling).

Actually the rumor is that they are completley replacing all the track with the exception of the station and lifthill.

 

If you ask me it's wasted money. But I gues it's sort of cool that they are preserving this classic for the future...

I have found some current photos from De Vliegende Hollander. What is happening there

 

[Jeroen_twee]

Something called 'maintenance'.

Something called 'maintenance'.

 

 

Acoording to Looopings this what Efteling is doing.

 

Efteling will make use of the annual winter closure of the Flying Dutchman to refurbish the attraction that opened in 2007. The track piece just before the splash will be completely replaced. That part wears out faster, because the track there is always wet and dry. The rest of the track will be sprayed clean.

Calling that terrible heap of pain "classic" is like calling this a classic -

 

 

You deserve to listen to that, heathen.

I know it's an old vekoma but I still don't get how people manage to have painful rides on it.

 

Advantages of being short maybe???
