The lateral jolt into the brake run seem quite pronounce (also judging from the video of Coaster Studios).

Always thought the water-filled dummies the manufacturers use are shaped in such a way that they are actually secured by the respective restraints of their trains. Maybe they have improvised here... Still, a bit funny they are not more careful about it given the history of the ride.

Still to be seen what they meant by "the look and feel of the coaster will evolve". Well, thinking about it, if they cut on the maintenance budget as well, there is certainly some truth to it... ;)

Who would have believed an RMC would ever end up with less airtime than the original... Crazy stuff ;)

Have been at Tripsdrill last Friday. No further progress on site so far. But I've added two pictures of the cleared area (without the hedge obstructing the view). BTW, that day, I saw Mammut being down for some time with people standing on top of the lift-hill. First thought it was a techincal...

It actually looks way more exciting than it rides. Personally I'd wish they would RMC it. It would have great potential. But I don't think this would ever happen. Though not overly exciting the ride is reasonably smooth and still quite popular.

Not sure one can fully judge by the POV, but doesn't it look relatively shaky even in the new track sections? Was actually hoping the new trains would do a better job than the (aged) original ones but that's not obvious at all from what you see. Curious to hear the first reports on its...

Will speed up the single rider line ;)

What kind of attraction was Vertigo and where in the park was it located?

In the latest construction update in the efteling blog (from March 12) they state "najaar van 2024" which translates to fall 2024. Actually, I was there yesterday and while I got these absolutely stunning views of the fassade and details (those posted above) it also revealed that there is...

Dynamite is reasonably smooth also on the outer seats, so I'm quite optimistic they have already solved the problem (and probably further improved it).

Absolutely, and I'm sure these ideas must have been on the table. However, I guess CP wanted to minimize the risks and just let Zamperla do the bare minimum in changing the actual layout. Actually, could be a wise dicision from a reliablility point of view but definetly a bummer when it comes to...

Think I'm in the same boat here, but Efteling has surprised me in the past, so who knows. But what I can tell is that the two smaller buildings (cafe and restrooms) that have already been finished really look great. (I've been there about three weeks ago.)

Very nice pictures these are! 👍

If they would have rebuilt those wouldn't they have gone for a proper train instead of the lead cars?

Yes, some kind of small attraction. And maybe that round structure will eventually get a roof.

@MagicMountainFan: I'm trying to wrap my head around why it's such big deal for you to leave a park early and why you keep on emphasizing that it's a privilege to be able to visit Europa. TBO, I don't get it. Maybe that's what you call "out of touch". I'd say, I'm pretty much in touch with what...

I really don't like the sponsoring. It gives it some cheap taste. Honestly, I wouldn't have any problem to pay a bit more to enjoy the park without it (I mean, provided the park actually needs it to do those investments). There is a reason I was at Europa only once in the last 10 years while...

...and the fastest traversed piece of switch track on a roller coaster in the entire world. Eat that!

Maybe they kept the hight record for the next iteration, top thrill three ;D hence the name... Anyway, I actually like colors as well. Just the white an grey looked a bit blunt but now it works out. Trains also look great. Regardarding the height of the spike: As much as I would have thought...
