That would be awesome. Efteling is capable to turn this into another amazing themed experience.

Forums are made for good discussions, and this topic about this type of ride design is the perfect place for a discussion like this. No need to shy away from it in my opinion :)

Not the same thing. Going on a backwards seat on a rollercoaster is also a different experience but not a different cred. Riding one rollercoaster (one piece of hardware) is fundamentally one ride, even if the experience is different next time. However, it can "feel" as a different cred even if...

As long as it's still one piece of hardware, then it's just one coaster/cred that you can have different experiences on. I do really like this design though, smart concept for a coaster in a small plot of land.

Of course I know as much as you do but there could be a variety of possible factors that make B&M decide to change supplier. Maybe it has nothing to do with the roughness and moving to a different company is a financial or practical decisions. But also execution of the order could be lacking...

So, after going for a Mack, Switzerland still doesn't have a rollercoaster from Swiss manufacturers Intamin or B&M 😁

Absolutely true. An industrial location isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the environment needed a cleanup. There was basically a massive garbage dumb next door. Not the view you would like from a ferris wheel.

I think you are right, but I guess the biggest disappointment (at least for me) comes from the fact that this city - which is one and a half hour drive away for me personally - could have had a great amusement park in the middle of the city, which there are only a few examples of (La Ronde...

Well, I never had much trust in Attractiepark Rotterdam, but this sounds absolutely terrible.

Sorry, typo. Get rid of me.*

Not only on the legs. I felt like that train/boat wanted to het rid of me.

This thing is going to look ugly as f*ck, but I'm sure the ride experience will be pretty good.

Seems like it opened to the public. And we have a POV.

Same thoughts!

Construction seems to be going well... (screenshot from a video on their Instagram account that isn't worth watching)

Looks like track has gone vertical already (see instagram post on their official channel). https://www.instagram.com/p/DVJO5qSjMXg/

I can't really take the Fast and the Furious franchise serious anymore. However, this is a cool trailer for the rollercoaster:

So, the previous owner removed the longest rollercoaster of Europe - and absolute icon - because it was cost-heavy and not part of their strategy, just to get rid of the park two years later... That's a sad thought.

You're right. I think it has been mentioned somewhere that the new coaster will have a similar layout as the original, but a mirrored version and a newer generation coaster type.

Duinrell just announced the layout of their new Kikkerachtbaan 2.0 - the Zierer Family Coaster that will replace their previous Kikkerachtbaan (Frog Coaster), a Zierer Tivoli coaster. The coaster will have a motorcross theme because the location has a history of motorcross races before Duinrell...
