De Vliegende Hollander, Water coaster at Efteling, Netherlands
De Vliegende Hollander combines a water coaster with dark ride elements, featuring boats that travel through indoor and outdoor sections along a 420-meter track.
The attraction opened on April 1, 2007, after construction delays pushed back its initial planned debut date of April 16, 2006.
The ride narrates the tale of Captain Willem van der Decken, who departed on Easter Sunday 1678 and encountered supernatural events at sea.
The coaster reaches speeds of 70 kilometers per hour and accommodates 1900 riders hourly, with boats descending from a height of 22.5 meters.
The Prague Philharmonic Orchestra recorded sixteen synchronized musical segments that accompany riders through different sections of the experience.
