Joris en de Draak - Dueling GCI for Efteling

At least this ride has gone vertical, unlike Kennywood's Skyrocket. I'd be surprised if this doesn't get finished before Skyrocket.

It's a good take on the out-and-back racers, glad to see this classic layout lives on!

It'd be great to see this layout take catch in the U.S.!
 
Is it just me, or is wooden coaster construction very boring?

With steel coasters, you get a definite sense of progress. With wooden coasters, it looks like a whole lot of nothing until the entire thing comes together at the very end!
 
Cant wait to ride this on the Euro-Live. :)
That coaster that goes in the lake looks fun as well.
 
LOL. That ride was such an epic failure. It stalled on it's first test run through the coaster section iirc..

Something doesn't quite look right about that little 'lump' in the middle... Looks like it could be pretty painful...
 
^Did you not know that when GCI first design their rides they just scribble random lines on a piece of paper like Mauer Sohne used to?

I think that'll be probably the most interesting part of the layout...

Is that true?

But, it looks great! I'm glad they're making good progress now, and I don't see why the bump would be painful. Looks fine to me! Airtime!
