Efteling: General Discussion
We went over the weekend and the station building does look lovely, although I am a tad worried about how the area will look with other "normal" supports in front of the station. Will it look messy with B&M track?? I hope not, but that was my first worry when I saw it in person.
Here is an image of the station and brake run I took.

Just finished downloading my pictures and thought you may like to see these. They were taken on Saturday.
Lift hill continues to rise along with central support. Lift in bottom right.
A closer look at the lift hill ready.
Looks like the chimney is finished with detailing now being done. I also presume that the entrance will be in the centre of this picture??
Overall site with footers in place in front of the station.

I was also wondering this too - from RCDB I think Krake may have the same style but I'm not completely sure.Are B&M supports usually that shape on their newer brake runs? Or has the whole ride got custom supports to make it look a little more old fashioned?
What I really like about this is the use of proper building materials like brick and stone and that great curved wooden roof - it all feels much more substantial, authentic and long-term than what we get. That bridge looks fantastic too.

A first look at the first Dive Coaster drop without a turn before it:

I want to say I'm disappointed that it travels forwards a little before dropping, but I just can't!
The platform for the top of the lift:
Also, a shot of the station with some of the scaffolding in the process of being removed:
I know everybody has already said it, but this really is just so Efteling in every way!

It still shocks me that so many people appear surprised by this. Anybody who knows Efteling knows that this is the standard for them. They don't do much but when they do it's picture perfect.
DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHEN DIE VLIEGENDE HOLLANDER WAS BUILT? One of the most beautiful moments in modern European theme park history!
(the ride is crap, mind)

YOU TAKE THAT BACK! DVH is perfection from the entrance to the queue up until you reach the top of the lift.
After that it sucks.
