Pepper Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Hey everybody! This thread is simple! Rather than having a million little threads about everything that goes on at Heide Park, this thread is designed to consolidate it all into one user-friendly thread.

There's a lot of mysterious things around this attraction. Nobody knows exactly what it will be. Other 'new in 2006-attractions' are not really mysterious, but Vliegende Hollander is very mysterious compared with the other new rides. It's going to be a watercoaster, combined with a short darkride in a building. There aren't many coasters that also have a darkridesection. Nobody knows the tracklayout or the theming, only that it will be about the legend of the Flying Dutchman is certain. It's also the first ride that will be build completely by KumbaK coasters. Take a look at the RCDB-entry and the thread on Themepark.nl (in Dutch) What do you think of this ride? Latest Picture from 14th september - made by Vogelrokker
Ghost Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Didn't go to the efteling this year... that will change next year when they open this one...
DutchCoasterFan Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I don´t expect to much from it ... It´s gonna be very short and the budget is cut in half!
Damien666 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Will it have a good darkride part like the other darkrides they have? No clue. Will it have the best soundtrack? I don't think so. Villa Volta has the best soundtrack at Elfting, does anyone agree with me?
Mystery Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 The Efteling in The Netherlands is building a new attraction for 2006, A watercoaster by KumbaK Coasters. It will be themed to the story of The Flying Dutchman. Some pictures, not taken by me but by various members of Themepark.nl (more information and blueprints; go to http://www.eftelist.nl/, press on "Vliegende Hollander" and on "Tekeningen" Dutch only, sorry guys!) Another shot of the lifthill Photo by: Yves (zwavelstokje, member of Themepark.nl) First track piece! Outside the factory, this is the lifthill! Looks a bit B&M Photo by: Yves (zwavelstokje, member of Themepark.nl) Overview of the building. There will be a coaster bit on the left but nothing to see yet there! Photo by: Gerben, Member of Themepark.nl Side view, The large white thing will become a tower.

jarmor Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 are you sure that isnt a dive machine by B&M lol lol... oh yeah and the link is kinda funky ya might wanna fix that...
Hattuchili Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I think that is not bad. I am so curious how it will look like in a few month?! --Sören
Shockwave Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Yeah, I thought that's a B&M at first as well. Hope it's good as a B&M, I'll be riding it next summer.
msep003 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 if the ride is good i might be back in Holland to ride on this water Coaster . The Theming look amazing like those great dark rides ( Fata Morgana , Droomvlucht ).
coasterdude5 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Wow, talk about theming! Looks really nice. Does anybody have any stats? RCDB doesn't.
Ghost Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 WHen it come to theme Efteling is taking a lot of care of it... Looking at what is already build they will have another winner... This will bring me to the park once finished
coastered Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 The theming from the Efteling is as great as the theming of Disney unemployment-offices limo-rentals milage-chart gastroenterology attorney-injury-insurance-negligence surgical-technician law-firms radiology perscription lemon-laws bank-holidays physician-assistant prescription-medications pediatric anesthesiology motorcycle-license chiefs-of-police retail-stores co-insurance plastic-surgeons entomology counceling humane-societies tattoo-parlors ged-testing blue-cross-blue city-map emt-b horticultural blue-cross-blue-shield new-hire-reporting orthopedic-surgeons trial-lawyers-association cosmotology home-care florist veterinary-medicine universities presription equine
Cerberus Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Are the park not releasing much information about this on purpose or something? I heard a mention of it a while back, but then nobody seemed to care when the lack of updates or information got them too frustrated :? So far it is looking really awesome! But I still can't find it in myself to pay any particular interest... I really should be more excited about this class installation, but there's just something about it (Or the marketing of it) that really isn't screaming out for my attention =/ Cerberus
Mystery Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 The Efteling is very quite about it. A while ago, a construction worker died while building a building, the roof collapsed. Taking pictures from outside the park is hard, but I know some guy's who are trying to take some, so maby photoupdates. When the park will re-open again the ride will be open.
Mystery Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 The Efteling released some info; * If needed you can stay dry, so the attraction can be used the whole year. The Efteling will stay open every single day of the year, now It's closed in the winter. * You are gonna: walk, fly, ride a coaster, SPLASH! * You are part of the darkride, no scenes, you take part in a story * There will be some spectaculair special-effects! * You can watch the pre-show as 'not rider' * The que is also the preshow, with special effects! * On the boats there will be a little lion, it's looking into the boat. It's rumored that there will hapen something with is eyes I think it sounds very good! I'll update when I get more info EDIT: 2 reeeeaaal bad pictures of the presentation: Sideview, with the tower Front of the building
Powermage Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 the Efteling has changed a lot, the latest ride 'Pandadroom' (4D Cinema) had a lot of budget cut's on theming. it is still a nice thing, but hopefully the Efteling will spend a lot of money on De Vliegende Hollander (the Flying Dutchmen )
Mystery Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I received some new photo's of of track, located outside the factory. Thanks to Yves for the photo's! The track is fabricated at a belgium steel factory, CSM. Again Photo by Yves Top of the lifthill? Photo by Yves
SFMM rocks my socks Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Looks like it going to be a big and fun ride but then again I could be wrong.
Jeezus Juice Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Wow, I'm riding this next year and I still have no clue as to what it actally is. Yay for suprises I guess! -Don
Mystery Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 And I've received a new photo, It's a part track, and it looks HUGE Thanks again to Yves! It's HUUUUUUUGE! Photo by yves

Guy T. Koepp Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 You European guys really theme your rides well. This thing looks cool. Guy "I want to go to Europe. I just don't like being away from my family that long." Koepp
