Efteling: General Discussion

[Tim]

That depends how long the ride duration is. If as they say it's like a show and the show lasts more than 5 minutes (not including loading and unloading) then that's about 1000pph. Fairly good. But if the shows 10 minutes it'll drop quite drastically.

 

[Burbs]

Looks like this could be really good fun! I wonder if they’ll have 2 ride systems in place for higher capacity, given how popular it’s likely to be. They did it with Max + Moritz which easily achieves 2000pph running both sides, and I imagine this ride will have similar, if not broader, appeal.

I'm not expecting it to be any longer than Villa Volta. There's no real need for a theatrical ride like this to overstay its welcome. The spinning, rocking and freefalling risks becoming repetitive otherwise.

Love how the making of videos are clearly going to be used to set up the back story of the ride/area as well.

 

[Sam]

Just going to go out on a limb here: I think this looks a bit rubbish.

But the previous version was a bit rubbish too so it doesn't really matter.

 

[AstroDan]

I too think it looks a bit odd. I mean, it looks like a dodgy tagada mixed with Ellen's Energy Adventure ride vehicles.

Still, Efteling have a habit of these things being high quality, so let us hope!

I think it’ll be great. The video doesn’t show any of the special show effects that no doubt will be incorporated, and I suspect the system will allow for quite a sudden rise and drop that isn’t been shown either. Considering a lot of us were expecting the platform element without the individual benches rotating, this has the potential to become something very … well, Efteling!

I’m guessing you’ll spin round to then watch a scene take place, maybe similar scenes to the previous show, then spin around to see another scene, etc. Probably similar to the old show, but with added ride and spinning rather then just being stood there for 10 mins

 

[Benzin]

With the multiple vehicles could be that multiple show scenes occur at same time at you see different ones depending on where your seated.

Could be interesting.

I have no doubts this will be a brilliant attraction... because Efteling.

The ride hardware looks basic but they'll nail the overall experience.

 

[Hyperia Super Stan]

The show scene is what will make this experience special. Everything that Efteling touches turns to gold. I quite like the ride system as well, it suits the concept of dancing to the Danse Macabre and should hopefully be quite thrilling. I'm expecting it to stay unique to Efteling.

The ride seems to have a similar action to a Satellite / Trabant.

Here's the Intamin video on the ride system the efteling are using.

Now can somebody run one like a Breakdance please and thank you.

 

[Hyperia Super Stan]

I absolutely adore it. What a truly bonkers piece of kit.

Max and Moritz? Vogel Rok? The coaster elements of Baron and DVH? Efteling have loads of duffers.

All of those are solid family rides with excellent themeing. Definitely not duffers.

Who would've thought in a million years that Efteling would become one big Lidl advert for a few days?

Sounds like Looopings making a mountain out of a molehill: it’s a corporate event for Lidl staff, annual pass holder tickets aren’t valid so they won’t see it.

From what I've been told, the park isn't closed to the public during this buyout period.
