Efteling: General Discussion

Even the construction fence in the last photo looks great! And I guess that path is new just for the building work?

Oh dear. Efteling are not happy with Looopings for taking advertising out outside of their park advertising "latest news about Eftleing".

Funny one this, is that cheeky?
I'd love to see a billboard outside Towers saying "LATEST NEWS ABOUT ALTON TOWERS".
Imagine how wonderfully endearing Marketing may find that?

Surely Efteling can't actually do anything about it?

Not so sure, if Efteling itself is an actual Trademark they probably can.
I can see why it may gripe them in a way because it's wording almost makes it sound like an official review site. That said, I'm quite shocked at the seemingly business aggressive response they've given - they always seemed somewhat more chillaxed

I suppose if we paid for a advert outside towers saying "Latest towers news, visit TowersStreet.com" and put it in a typical towers style poster, towers wouldn't be best pleased with us, wherever they can do anything about it or not, they could certainly make life hard for us!

Wow.
That's going to look amazing. Building that to last aren't they!!
I know the hardware is smaller etc, but surely people can appreciate the construction care going into this?
It looks like they're properly building it brick by brick, rather than some slabs of concrete or just a facade. Unless I am mistaken?
As an enthusiast I really do love to see this level of care and attention to detail so far.

Apparently the ride has two pre-shows, but unlike Villa Volta, there won't be much, if any, dialogue to help make it accessible to foreigners visiting the park.
Also, it's going to have three queues: main, single rider and front row.
It seems odd to me to have a front row queue for a ride with only 3 rows, but I'm sure they know what they're doing!

A front row queue on a coaster with only three rows is a dangerous move. You do risk there being a huge front row queue and just two other rows to soak up everyone else. With short coaster trains you need strict and efficient batching into all available rows. This is something Towers got spot on with The Smiler.

If everyone else wants to queue for the front row and leave the other 2 rows available then it's fine by me, but one would hope that it'll be thought about carefully, especially when you look at Krake's attempt at one now...
It'll probably have the queue divide up after the pre-show(s)...

Is it a bit KRAPE?

The front row massively enhances the experiences on the floorless dive coasters as there's absolutely nothing below/in front of you, so it makes sense to have a separate front row queue, but it will need to be fairly long to deter people when it's full.

After watching these making of videos, I can only assume they chose the name because it's a bit a tongue twister in Dutch!
It interesting that they're filling the tunnel with water after they excavated it, to prevent it "rising up"? Does anyone know what that means or why they'd do it?
