    Definitely one of the best rides from the park!! On the downside, since it is one of the most popular rides, the waiting time sometimes is really huge. On a good day you will wait 20 minutes. If the park is full, you may have to wait 40 or more. However, even with long queues, if you are in the park, you need to try this one at least one time.

    Nice rollercoaster in the theme of a mine. You slowly go up and stay hanging for a second before you drop in free fall. The ride is fun after that but I think the Python is nicer. Also the wait time is quite long often (around an hour).

    Everything about this rollercoaster is amazing, except for the rollercoaster itself. The theming and story are absolutely stunning. However, after the big drop; the ride is over in about 15 seconds. For most people it’s still a good and even scary coaster, but for the real coaster enthusiasts it’s not that special.

    Although efteling is good..the deposit on bottles and not able to return isn't good eating there would be an extra 10000 euro a day in deposits...that u are obligated to give to charity if u believe that again not solving the problem..they could serve drinks in glass at cafe instead of bottles from pumps..would save a lot of plastic for the environment.

    This is one of if not the best themed roller coaster I've been on. I loved the haunted mine theme and it was brilliantly executed. I don't speak Dutch but there was enough English and visuals to understand the story. The ride it self is thrilling if only a bit short. The ride staff was very efficient and good at keeping the lines moving and getting everyone where they should be quickly.

    Awesome coaster! Super cool theme, very thrilling, ride it up front at least once, it's worth the extra wait!

    Great ride, gorgeously themed and the drop really churns your stomach in the way it's supposed to

    Short ride, but oh my, so sweet. Best taken after dinner when most kids have been dragged home 😎. Pics should give you a good idea of what to expect of the ride. The story has been dressed up light by Efteling standards though.

    It's a good roller-coaster, great theming and a nice first drop.

  • 2/5 Floriane L. 1 year ago on Google
    Not inclusive. Impossible for plus size people to fit. It would be nice to have at least one bigger seat. Looks amazing though

  • 5/5 Milan M. 10 months ago on Google
    The waiting and watching other poeple screaming is the most stressful thing. Great spooky story, love the ghosts and songs they are singing. Did not want to go there at all and at the end went twice... Been in 2nd row so still 3rd and ultimate 1st one is needed to have full experience. After drop you are just flying in the air. Unique ecperience :)

    Absolutely awesome place with great nature and themes! The activities are all safe and exciting! Highly recommended!!!

  • 4/5 Baskaran S. 1 year ago on Google
    The deep fall is really worth to experience. 18 seats in a car. Normally a busy attraction

  • 5/5 Laccs 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome freefall ride! There are three seperate waiting lines, single riders and the regular entrance of which the waiting lines split in two, first row or second & third. The pre-shows are very cool!

    Awsome thriller ride! The queue is usually a little long but its DEFENETLY worth it. I personally aswell like that it has a backstory! It gives it a bit more of a scary vibe. Great ride!!

  • 5/5 Jelle W. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice, good story and such. Like the ride a lot and especially the drop. Would have even be nice it it had 1 or 2 more turns at the end, this would also have helpend with the sudden brake speed there currently it. But overal just a good time

  • 5/5 Michiel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best dive coaster I’ve seen in quite some time. Must ride! And if you can spare the extra 5 mins for a front row seat: Well worth it!!

  • 5/5 London K. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 highly recommend. The drop is amazing. Everyone is scared of this ride until they go on it. It's AMAZING. It doesn't matter if you haven't been on a rollercoaster before, they are amazing. Especially this one.

  • 5/5 Bernardo De a. 2 years ago on Google
    Best roller coaster on efteling, the line to get to the front row is big, i waited about 40 minutes but it was worth it. There is a single rider line you can make advantage of if you are alone or if youre friends are scared and leave you alone. The churros they sell beneath the drop are real good.

    Need to specifically mention the logistics, which I was very impressed by. Love the system where you can queue for the first or 2nd + 3rd row, which speeds up the whole process. You also get a ticket further down which divides you into groups further. There is an usher who can take your backpack and gives you a numbered wristband in return. On the way out you pass the other side of the storage rack and you get your stuff back. This made everything go very smoothly and I only had to wait in line 10 and 20 minutes respectively when I rode the Baron twice, on a busy Sunday no less. The show before the actual ride is pretty impressive and thematic. The ride itself is exhilarating, with a brief pause before you speed down a vertical drop into a mine shaft and up a loop. After some corkscrews and sharp turns, you're back at the station. I will say the ride is pretty short, but I still wholeheartedly recommend it. Best ride at the Efteling for sure, no contest.

    Theming wise this Dive coaster is pretty good. While the queue line (including the pre show) was not that interesting, the presentation and lift pre show definitely make this ride what it is. The coaster part is fun, but it should definitely be stronger. Fun ride, but honestly nothing that I would go crazy about.

  • 5/5 Anna K. 2 years ago on Google
    The ride is pretty short but that is making it a whole lot better. The true attraction is the buildup and the story before the ride that sets you up in the mood. The detail, the suspense when you are hanging high up in the machine before drop at crazy speeds... so much fun:) it is a good one but there are even better ones it the park!;)

  • 5/5 Olivier De G. 2 years ago on Google
    Not the Tomorrowland coaster. But the scenery and theme for this ride is as good! Music, video and then a 90 degree plunge into darkness and smoke! This one was awesome. Short track, but worth the wait

  • 4/5 Zara H. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice rollercoaster, but a bit very creepy when you're afraid of heights haha!
