Baron 1898, Steel roller coaster at Efteling, Netherlands
The ride features a vertical drop of 37.5 meters into a mine shaft, followed by two inversions and a helix along its 501-meter track length.
Constructed in 2015 with an investment of 18 million euros, this steel coaster represents the expansion of Efteling's thrill attractions in the Ruigrijk section.
The ride incorporates Dutch folklore through the Witte Wieven spirits, supernatural entities that guard the gold deposits within the fictional mine shaft.
The attraction accommodates riders taller than 132 centimeters and operates three trains simultaneously, each carrying 18 passengers in three rows.
The mining-themed station building includes an elaborate pre-show with projection effects displaying the narrative of Baron Gustave Hooghmoed's gold discovery.
