- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Baron 1898 is a Bolliger & Mabillard dive machine at Efteling. This is a well-themed coaster featuring multiple pre-shows, a dark ride segment, and an original soundtrack. The layout is smaller and simpler than most dive coasters, but it features all the essentials.

I've always loved how this one looks. I didn't know they did so much with the theming. I like that animatronic of Baron Gustavimnotevengonnatrytosaythatlastname.
Efteling knocks theming out of the park.
Ah yes, Baron *_Gustavimnotevengonnatrytosaythatlastname._*
With this ride, I expected great theming followed by a weak, two-second ride. Instead, I got addictively great theming followed by a great ride, with an excellent drop followed by a great airtime hill. The ride felt complete to me. I ended up marathoning this for a while on my second day.
Nice! I wish the line were short enough for me to marathon it.
@@CanobieCoaster The single rider line for me was about ten minutes on average.
This is probably the best themed B&M which is really cool, but I feel like it wouldn't be as thrilling of a ride as Griffon which is the only dive coaster I have ridden.
It probably is.
The rusted green colour is actually called "Pieck's blue". It is part of a 3 colour pallet (blue, red, yellow) used by Anton Pieck, the original designer of the Efteling, and can be found all over the park, especially in the fairytale forrest.
But you're right. The high amount of grey in the mixture, makes it looks weathered to create that nostalgic feeling.
Thanks for explaining!
Baron 1898 is a good dive coaster (the best one I've ridden so far). I'm currently working on a vector art version of the ride. It's an impressive ride to look at but it isn't one of my favorite coasters ever. 2nd best at Efteling imho.
That's where I place it at Efteling too.
Considering the overall cost for a coaster it seems like an obvious choice to budget a little bit more to make it a fully immersive, themed ride like this. I hope to ride this some day. Thanks for the review.
You're welcome!
I love this ride and dive coasters in general
Me too.
Baron is not the most trill ride there is, but the theming and music makes it. All those details are Just amazing. The preshows, the lifthill, the sound of the bell when you are on top.... Well just love this ride.....
It's a great package.
I personally prefer theme parks over amusement parks and Baron 1898 is a good example of why that is. To judge this only as a coaster would be absurd. This is an experience. The show room and the preshow are why the rest of the coaster works so well.
Splash Mountain would be a very highly ranked log flume even without the mountain structure, dark ride sections and infectious music. But those elements are why it is the overall best. It's an experience, and the storytelling gets you pumped for the final drop.
Baron isn't just a coaster and it's all the better because of that fact.
True, theming can really elevate an experience.
Fun fact: this story is so well fleshed out that there is a literal book of it, sold in the Efteling gift shops
Cool!
Growing up with Efteling, I'm sort of used to the hour long lines the roller coasters usually get. Everything is family focused, so no ride is particulary extreme. I love Baron, especially after being able to have some ERT at a company party two-three years back. I keep going back between Baron and the Flying Dutchman as my favourite though, that theming is even better!
Nice!
You pretty much nailed it for me with this revieuw. My opinion perfectly matches your describtion. Considering the space they had wich to work with, wich was not a lot, it really is a nice coaster.
True!
Thanks for this! I was skeptical about this B&M Dive Coaster. Definitely shorter than other ones but it still looks great.
The theming makes up for a lot.
@@CanobieCoaster Indeed
Hi from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦. Cool ride. I like it. My home park has a g- roll like this one. Ride is called Yukon Striker. It's great. Drop is kinda scary for me. Cool.
That's a good dive coaster.
I love theming and this coaster also just looks great 👍
Sure does.
It's still mind-boggling to think that this was the first B&M in the country.
True!
And there are still only 2 unfortunately. Tho they are birth amazing, with Fenix being my fav coaster I’ve ever been on. (Yes I’ve been on untamed and I prefer Fenix)
@@NathanHydra I know you got here after the Krake review XD. I gotta disagree there btw, the rest of the coasters around here don't even come close to Untamed for me.
Awesome you enjoy it that much though! 😃
@@Arma070 I came back here from the Krake review indeed. And yes I’m well aware that “objectively” (as far as Rollercoaster quality can be judged objectively) untamed is a better coaster, but Fenix is just such a beautiful smooth and graceful, yet intense ride.
Edit: I even have Troy tied with untamed for my 2nd favorite coaster, closely followed by Joris and Collosus. Those top 2 coasters at Toverland are just special to me :)
Hey that's fair! My top 3 is still dominated by Walibi Holland, with Gold Rush @ Slagharen taking the first spot=D
Great work keep it up
Thanks!
The story really took me by surprise. I thought it was themed to some sort of flying machine built in 1898.
Nope
They should double up the station, one for unloading and one for loading. That way they can run an extra train, making the operations much faster.
I love the Efteling, but there's a long waiting line everywhere.
That would help.
On a dive coaster this would not work. Because of the moving floor that has to go up and down.
You did not mention the Bel ringing the moment you drop.
Ow and fun fact that most people miss/can't know or don't know.
The baron is voiced by the same actor who played Baron van neemweggen in the dutch bassie & Adriaan kids show from the 80s and 90s
The baron from the coaster and from the show even look alike
I've never noticed the bell.
@@CanobieCoaster don't Realy notice it on ride if you don't expect it. Off ride you can hear it better
You also hear the white women wailing from the tunnel, but that is more noticeable when you stand on the ground!
Best dive coaster!
Best themed one for sure.
And of the coaster itself, do you like all elements, the drop, the Inmelmann, the zero-G roll, the helix, and the bunny hill?
The elements are fun.
And how would you think between this, Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Medusa at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Lynet at Fårup Sommerland, and Blue Tornado at Gardaland, to ride again? I think the five use over the shoulder restraints.
The first 3 are smooth. Lynet is fine if you lean forward on the transitions. Blue Tornado tracks way worse than the others and hurts.
Do you like over the shoulder restraints or vest restraints on Vekoma suspended looping coasters and B&M dive coasters?
I prefer vests.
In one of the trailers for Planet Coaster I noticed this coaster in the game it looked very similar
Cool!
And how would you think between this, Superman Krypton Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm, Tornado at Särkänniemi, Dragon Khan at PortAventura, and Blue Tornado at Gardaland, to ride again?
The first four are good rides. Blue Tornado is awful.
I was asking you about Baron 1898 at Efteling. As for the restraints, which are those? Do you know the restraint color? Do you think they are an issue?
They're a greenish-blue over-the-shoulder restraint. They're comfortable.
I notice many of the Dive Coasters in Europe don’t have a midcourse I wish we had more in America
The Europe ones also tend to be smaller.
I’m surprised B&M doesn’t make whippy inversions on their Dive Coasters
I think it has to do with the trains.
I would put Fly at Canada's Wonderland, Apple Zapple at Kings Dominion, and Coast Rider at Knott's Berry Farm, and how would you compare those three to this coaster?
Baron os much better than those wild mice.
If I ask you, do you like or do you love the ride's theming and pre-show?
I sure do.
Hey Canobie want to know an interesting fact I believe that all the mini dive coasters do not have true vertical drops they’re more like oblivions at 87. 5° but it sure feels vertical
Oh cool!
How does it compare to Oblivion The Black Hole? Baron's theming is obviously better, but what about the ride experience?
Minus the theming, they're comparable.
I still remeber the words of the supperviser of b&m, when I was part of the construction crew: "This park is so stupid! Who in there right mide would spent twice as much monney on theming, instad of making it bigger, I don't get it". Well.... It is a nice coaster, but everyone was on the same page with him. It sould have bin a little bigger XD
Yeah so stupid for a park that is know world wide for its great theming and storytelling.
@@miwer1000 we understand that. But still a bigger one would have bin a nice welcom
@@miwer1000 The park isn't known that well worldwide, Theme parks like Phantasialand and Europa Park have better theming
Baron seems plenty popular for Efteling so I think the park is pleased with their investment.
@@lesliej.5612 Hahaha not even close
Hello!
Hi
Probably among the worst B&M Dives in terms of layout but the best in themeing. This is what I hope Dr Diabolical to be. This ride is insanely well themed with that lift hill and drop and station. The rest doesn't have much to it but if you're gunna have a 1 trick ponny B&M Dive, at least give it something good which they did with Baron in the theming.
It's a quality experience.
Might have a pretty good theme, but holy s**t the coaster is way too short. It's also very boring and disappointing, just like the Efteling itself
With the pre-shows and show scene, it feels satisfying.
I can't stop laughing at every time you describe the evil ghosts, since they're translated to just "white women" 😭
Lol
That’s bizarre
See in RCDB: Baron 1898 at Efteling. See the coaster elements, the drop, the Inmelmann, the zero-G roll, the helix, and the bunny hill. Do you like all them, Canobie Coaster? What do you think?
The elements are good.
See in RCDB, Baron 1898 at Efteling uses over-the-shoulder restraints. Do you think they are an issue, Canobie Coaster?
They're fine for me.
