Efteling’s New Coaster: Themed Around Coal?

Efteling recently shared the news that next year they would unveil a new coaster.  Since then, several Efteling fan sites have reported that the new coaster will be themed around a Dutch coal mine.  It is also believed that it will be located behind the Flying Dutchman.

More information will undoubtedly emerge in the coming months.  After all, the ride is said to be ready for next year, and there is much work to be done!

Oh, and as a side note, when we brought you the news of the new coaster initially, we did read that the drop was going to be 37ft high, so that’s what we posted too.  What it really is, is 37 METRES, of course!  So about a 120ft drop.  That’s slightly more hair-raising!  In comparison, Oblivion at Alton Towers which is the same type of ride, has a 65ft drop.  That’s quite a difference between the two.

It’s starting to sound more exciting 😀

We’ll have some more news when it surfaces.

Never fear though, apparently the Python coaster is staying!  The new Director of the park, Fons Jurgens, has announced the new coaster, which will be a dive coaster similar to Oblivion at Alton Towers, with a 37 foot fall to the ground.  We’re quite interested as to what the story will be surrounding the ride, and where exactly it will be built.  The coaster will open in 2015, and it’s costing €36 million…not too much then…

 

In other news, Bosrijk is having new rooms added!  Right now there are 1150 beds, but soon there will be 1550!  Great news for Bosrijk lovers.Bosrijk

This news will surely help Efteling to its target of having 5 million visitors through their gates by 2020.

Here, we learn of the raft etiquette we should be conducting whilst on Piraña.

Lessons such as:

‘do not stand up to wave at people in the other raft‘

You will fall overboard, head first.

‘do not stand up to wave at oncoming rocks‘

You will fall overboard, head first.

Maybe we wouldn’t have this video if there were seatbelts in the rafts 😉

 

Video from Eftelwesley.
