^ Agreed. There's absolutely no need for this more in depth, intelligent conversation with regard to the ride choice. Can we stop making an effort with our posts now please.
I'll get us back on topic by saying "Looks great!!"
Thanks.

There's not really anything to look at currently, but I anticipate it will be great :wink:

God damnit I got excited thinking there were leaked plans or something.

I agree with the power of the brand of course. I do however also feel that in Europe that fairytales have great cultural value. Yes, the ones that have never been Disneyfied are lesser known but they're not UNKNOWN (Hansel and Gretel for example), and for that reason I feel like Efteling could very very easily still have the international draw and appeal of Disney. I do also think that a big coaster would help this. It is a very clever move for Efteling as it further shapes them as an all rounder park.

^ I know what you mean, but I'm not sure Efteling would bother teasing us with these plans?
Anyway, if that is the layout, than I'll be pretty happy as it has a bit of variety and length. Only preference would have been a zero-g roll in place of the vertical loop.

Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster
Here are some new pics of dirt I took while visiting the park this monday:
I also talked to an ex-employee of the park who said that the idea of a coal mine themed ride goes all the way back 1.5 decades. Back then the idea was to open a coal mine themed drop tower, but the idea was later scrapped for (the person I talked to) unknown reasons. But now it's back again, now in the form of a B&M dive coaster!
On another point, while visiting the park again it was absolutely clear to me how desperately the park needs a new thrill ride! With Joris being even more child friendly (=weaker) then I remember it and the only other thrill ride being a Vekoma from the early 80's... And I think a dive coaster will fill that gap excellently

Two new B&M dive machines/coasters in on year?! I cant even
This one having a loop will be unique. The only thing (if it is indeed at all like that layout predicted) that I don't like is the lack in direction change. Seems you'll be banking on your right for most the ride. I understand it's not a major issue

That sounds like the one predicted for Gardaland! ugh haha!! ;D Well I will say Im dyin to see a dive coaster with no turn off the lift (as shown in that rendering). I think that would look interesting I just like different, even if it is subtle.
