Could This be the World's Best-Themed Dive Coaster?

By Robert Niles: The Dutch theme park Efteling today announced its new attraction for 2015, a Bolliger & Mabillard Dive Coaster called Baron 1898.

As you can see from the illustration provided by the park, Baron 1898 might be the world's best decorated and most themed Dive Coaster when it opens next summer. Themed to a mine founded by "Baron Freefall" in the late nineteenth century, the coaster is now under construction near "The Flying Dutchman," as seen in this promotional video from the park.



This isn't your typical roller coaster promo video, which makes sense given that Efteling is in no way a typical iron park. There's no talk of specs, of airtime, of inversions, in this video. Instead, designers and managers talk about storytelling, and the need to devise a compelling narrative for the attraction.


Longtime Theme Park Insider visitors will remember that Efteling is home of some of our readers' favorite dark rides outside the Disney theme parks, including Fata Morgana and Droomvlucht. Baron 1898 promises a unique blend of theme and thrill that should add to the parks' appeal among theme park fans.
