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 ;)

What, like the one in Taiwan :lol:

Which happens to be a mirror image of one of the most popular rides in the UK. ;)

Trying not to get sucked in by the artwork but come on, that is just gorgeous. So, so excited for this now. I knew Efteling would theme it to epic proportions.
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

This looks like my dream coaster! I know it's only concept art but to see someone dress up a B&M so beautifully gets my heart going. Definately the coaster I'm most excited for next year.
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

Haha, yeah, Efteling do actually build what's in the concept art. Oddly enough this was all planned back in like 2002 and some artwork surfaced earlier this year, I didn't post it here because it was a different project and to be honest part of it looked better than this. However this does look nice and it'll fit in nicely next to the Hollander building. I hope they theme the whole ride and not just the station/tunnel.

I have a feeling it'll have a Dutchman style thing wherer the theming vanishes completely when you're outside... But that's not a bad thing really, even Joris lacks theming in the ride area beyond the dragon...

Looks so good... And a full blown imaginative story to go with it makes it even better...
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

The whole ride doesn't have to be themed but I'd like to see a larger indoor section at the bottom of the drop. If it's going to be a mine then some tunnels would be good to see.
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but the coaster's max speed will be 90 km/h and the minimum height is 1.40 m. Height was already known, 37.5 m.

Here is the video of the first episode of "the making-of: Baron 1898:

Also, another thought I just had. Here is a very high resolution pic of the artwork:

I was just thinking. If you look at the trains, it seems that it has a projector on it, underneath the seats. Could it be that they'll project something on the smoke around the tunnel, just before you drop? I think that would be really cool.
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

I absolutely love what I'm seeing in that artwork. As Sue posted, I hope the theming holds true.
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

This has got to be the most beautiful support and theme job I've ever seen. The paint a buildings are stunning! Please don't let me down, Efteling. :shock:
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

Anyone else notice the female figure reaching out from the smoke?
 
Re: Efteling | unknown | B&M Dive Coaster

^ Yeah, that's part of the story. That's why I'm wondering if that will be projected on the smoke/mist just before you drop :wink:
