Efteling Adds B&M Dive Coaster, Baron 1898, for 2015

I was there Tuesday, I looked for tracks but couldn't find them. Turns out they were delivered the day after xD
Luckily I have an annual pass

Hmmm it's a bit more a teal green than I was expecting but that is okay because it looks great

B&M is on a roll.

Here some more "recent" pictures from the construction site:

Station building and bottom of the lifthill.


Lifthill Tower


Lift Hill structure supports getting framed.

And some photo's from yesterday:






Not much track action yet. Obviously since not many footers have been placed yet. It looks like they are more working on getting the base of the station building ready. I do hope to see some more footers soon. Even tho winter is pretty mild in the Netherlands, you'd never know when it actually strikes.

[Mr. Freeze]

Same here in Texas.

Very cool stuff!

Update:

Station making progress


External wall


Concrete footers being poured at -1??????C. I remember it used to be pretty bad for the concrete to pour it when it freezes. Does it now-a-days matter?


Busy digging out all the fundamentals.


With some luck they might have poured all the concrete before christmas.


After that they should have plenty of time to bolt down the ride. Since at that point it doesn't matter if it's freezing or not.


Plenty of steel footers just sitting there and waiting.




This is becoming the building for the transfer track.


And the station slowly receiving it's enclosure.

Track pieces have been spotted at the Ohio B&M Plant. Some believe track/supports could be en route already as the station is nearly finished and footers are being poured.

www.screamscape.com has pictures of the track at the plant.
