- This may be one of the smaller dive coasters out there, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in theme! Baron 1898 is easily one of the best themed coasters around, which really makes the ride feel more like an experience.
Thanks to Theme Park Worldwide for providing the clip of Baron's show before it makes its way up the lift hill. You can check out the full POV here with audio: • Baron 1898 Front Row O...

Extra fun fact (also for the Dutchies): The baron animatronic in the queue-line is also voiced by the same person who voiced the Baron in a kids televisionshow called Bassie & Adriaan, which aired 1978 till 1997. His name is Paul van Gorcum, and he kinda looks like him.
drommels, drommels, drommels. Wat een legende
B&M back spines always look like someone put the shadows on low.
The Efteling is my home park, i’ve ridden this Coaster over 50 times, I LOVE IT. I’ve ridden coasters like Valeravn and when I came our I said: This isn’t as Good as Baron 1898, pure of the theming.
Ja ik hou er echt super veel van echt een leuke achtbaan maar vind hem wel overhypet kwa rit
Valravn could have had amazing theming. The Valravn myth is fascinating.
Alas...
Kom ik aan met mijn 500 lol
Was my first B&M :D
The hype really got to me when those doors opened onto the station!
Best themed dive machine in the world. Top 25 best themed coasters in the world.
More like top 10
I like Valkyria better.
Ah yes, a dive machine
Efteling specially made a short movie about Baron 1898, explaining the story. It starts several years before the mine is built. A stranger visits an inn and has to catch a boat to South America, but has only little time left. One of the Innkeepers, Jochem, volunteers to guide him over "De Zompige Heide" (The Soggy Moorland). Everyone falls silent because they all know that that place is haunted by several mystical folklore creatures and the "Whailing women" who guard their gold. Despite the warning, Jochem guides the man over the moorland, only for the man to stop and investigate an underground cave to find gold. But as soon as he tries to take the gold, a mysterious fog rolls in and the screen fades as you hear the whailing women scream.
Several years later, a new stranger enters the inn with plans to build a mine in the Moorland, knowing there is gold there. As the mine is built, all kinds of troubles arise, like blood dripping out of the walls, a spider infestation in the hallways and some even found a skeleton. Despite all, the Baron continues to build the mine. When it's finished, he invites Jochem to go down the mine with him for the first time. In the mine elevator, he realizes the Baron is the stranger he guided years earlier. Upon entering the mine, the Whailing Women are back to defend the gold and cave the Baron and Jochem in. Jochem's girlfriend witnesses the cave in from the upper mine building and attempts to liberate them, in which she succeeds. Realizing he is too young to die and wants to see the world, Jochem and his girlfriend plan to travel the world, with the maps and some gold donated to them by the Baron as his thanks.
The Baron, however, refuses to close the mine and proclaims to all willing to listen: "If you go down the mine and return with gold, you will get a profitable share! 50/50! Who dares to enter... Baron 1898!"
The general theming Efteling does for their attractions (like the Flying Dutchman, explaining the story of Willem van der Decken and his lust for power, which cursed him to sail the seas forever) is amazing, even if that shortens the track ride. I think there is no after-show for this ride because it's somewhat implied that you plummeted to your death in the mine or that, like many mineworkers before you, you flee the mine because of the curse. There is even a specal mini show that happens in Show Building B (When you're waiting in line to board the attraction) that happens if there are some trouble with people getting in/out the ride. The Baron animatronic turns into his office, as if the foreman just entered to tell him the first group "cowardly fled" the mine. The Baron gets angry and calls this group "Cowards!'"
My favourite dive coaster too! Thanks for the review
Arran en je enige waarschijnlijk
It's a fantastic ride I had 4 rides on it without getting of the train at the end of the day last December. The theming is amazing.
I am so happy that Efteling is my home park!
I have ridden this coaster over 10 times, and I loved it. I completly agree with you, if you know the whole story it gives you an even better experience. Thanks for the review , I really enjoyed it !
It's nice to see that even if you didn't like the Efteling as a park, you still liked some of their rides
I love this ride. A small detail that I really like is the (real) bell sound that rings when you drop. I'm also really happy with how the bag system works.
Me too!
I was there yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with the bag service.
And actually surprised you take your bag with you in the Python rollercoaster.
Fun fact. On the shots you have of the station, on the right of the train you can see these levers with one red one in the middle. On this Red one there is a clearance button for the Attendent to clear the train for the operator to send of, And they can actually move the handle back and forwards! Sadly not all employees do it, but when they do it truly feels like they are pulling the lever to send you down the ride!
The reason that the baron 1898 isn’t that long is because of space and the fact they need special permissions for rides like this. They would make the baron higher if they were allowed to, but they have a legal max height. For every attraction they build they need to build more forest or things like that to even out the percentages and they don’t have that much space for park extensions. Maybe that will answer some of the questions you guys have. Good job if you read all of that!
This is my favorite Coaster in the whole Efteling because this was my first dive coaster experience and the theme is really amazing 😍
Thanks for your thoughts very helpful.
Awesome rollercoaster video on my birthday
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday Luciano, Happy birthday TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!!
Def one of the coolest looking coasters I’ve seen
so awesome to hear you talking about our first B&M! i'm sure you would have loved Fenix as well! also: what are your thoughts about Untamed in Walibi Holland?
My home park, Baron is my favorite coaster in the park,did it last friday.
And now we wait here for an RMC hybrid in the Efteling.
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
My first and still favorite Dive Coaster.
Efteling is my home park, and i've ridden it 100's of times. Awesome coaster, i prefer back seat for crazy airtime! The lifthill structure is so impressive, i love it. Still prefer Shiekra/Griffon though for me but maybe thats because i've only visited those parks once.
Great review! Baron is a beautiful ride. Would have loved it more if it was a bit more intense tho but it remains a family park ofcourse
100% this coaster is just something special
This is a great coaster love it!!
This sounds pretty cool. I haven’t ridden a dive coaster yet. If I go to CP this summer my first will be Valraven. I know everyone says it’s not great but it’ll be a col new experience.
I totaly agree on your thoughts. A lot of people who havent ridden it always judge it only on its stats so it always gets little to no attention. It is one of my favourites in the netherlands!
This would be a great Planet Coaster Coaster!!
Edit: Someone already made it
J Terry TV yes it is
J Terry TV there where some try’s but the Pre show infront of the lifthill is not Possible if you try to do this you would need to try it like me with another ride type like put on the Random Car using and make it with an Eurofighter ore Infinity Coaster and use the Launch stop for the preshow
I want to ride this
At this moment, Efteling had six roller coasters.
Four of them are in the Baron 1898 area.
Baron 1898, Python, De Vliegende Hollander & Joris en de Draak.
There are also Vogelrok and the Bob (untill september 2019)
The ride is very very smooth, its like your flying
I would also say this ride got one of the best soundtracks in Europe. I love this ride as a experiance, but for me I like Joris en de drak more.
Yes, I love the music
I live in the Netherlands and the baron 1898 and Joris en de draak are my favorites! The vliegende hollander(Flying Dutchman) is also very nice themed and beautiful!
I agree.
Do you know if the inside / boat part of De Vliegende Hollander changed lately?
I was there yesterday and I remember it had more of a show the last time I went in it.
Now it was just dark...
Efteling is my home park and i love baron 1898 i know it os not es high or as intens but is a realy good ride
Can you also make a review of Joris en de Draak (the GCI racing woodie)? I would love that!
I've ridden Baron 1898 , SheiKra , Krake. For me personally I've gotta say the drop in SheiKra is the coolest. So for the drop and ultimate thrill experience I would rank it:
1.SheiKra
2.Krake
3.Baron 1898
But for the theming I would definitely go for Baron 1898 , because that's also what a rollercoaster makes amazing. So my ranking from best ride is:
1.SheiKra (just bc it's so insane)
2.Baron 1899
3.Krake
👍
Oblivion isn’t a mini dive coaster Taylor, it’s drop is 180’ and uses the full size trains. But I know what you meant, it is litterally just the drop and done.
I LOVE this ride
My favorite bit of theming is the big-ass lever with the dispatch button hidden in it.
Neat to see how it just drops, and it doesnt turn to the left like griffon
It is my Favorite Dive Coaster the Theme is like perfekt 👌
Does it have the roar or is the track filled with sand?
I like the look of the helix. Now imagine if Valravn had this level of theming...
The reason that IT goes in a tunnel is cause the story is that you are a miner and you go to the mine with the drop
@Gop not agree. What you say is true, but Efteling already wants to make a Dive coaster. But Efteling can't build above the tree's ( like alton towers ) so they look at krake and want to make a better one than that layout SO they build it underground, because if that tree rule.
Baron 1898 is my number one, but i am going to Canada's Wonderland this summer and i think its gonna change
I went on Baron 1898 for the first time yesterday.
I'm just curious how other people feel, the moment they dive / drop 😁
This coaster‘s theme is from a gold mine in a small town. The man on the balcony is the count (Baron in Dutch) (it’s the count/baron from the year 1898. so there’s the origin of this name.)the ghosts are the protectors of the gold. The drop represents your decent to the mine.
i totally agree with you. it's just sad that after the dive you don't really have a much more thrilling ride
The height of the ride being only 98ft is due to height restrictions of the park. (There is one exception... the panorama tower. That was created so it would only go above the tree line when it's in operation)
But I have the impression that just like with drop towers, the height doesn't make that much of a difference. Because it's the moment you start to fall that gives you the sensation of falling. And maybe the quick change form negative g's to positive ones make it feel like it has more airtime than you'd think it has.
I also think i like the 6 seater trains more than the 8/10 seater ones. OK, they look less impressive. But they do allow for more intense/ less outstretched ride lay-outs.
are you going back to toverland bequse fenix is open and you coudnt ride it the last time and i think it is one of the best coasters in the netherlands
Nice review.
Also I’m visiting KD on Monday. Any tips?
Efteling is my home park and my favorite coaster there is George and the dragon! But Baron 1898 is really good! I rode it 24 times!
George?
Lee yes in English its George
the efteling is my home park so yea ofcorse i like it
I've forgotten the name of it but the dragon double track roller-coaster at the same park was pretty cool too would be nice to see one about it
Joris en de Draak (Joris and the dragon😂)
I felt the same way about Oblivion The Black Hole. The theming really made that coaster stand out, but Baron looks like it just slaughters Oblivion The Black Hole.
I have the book that holds the story behind it all, it is my fav. book and knowing the story completes the expirience at baron 1898.
do it for oblivion the black hole
Being from Tampa and Cincinnati I've ridden my fare share... but the one coaster i just cant cosign is the B&M droppers... TO ME, They are just lame one trick ponies like you said. The Yukon one in Canada is probably the best iteration I've seen. But here in Tampa, Sheikra, I'll pass! 2020 looks to be exciting for both of my parks. Kings Island and Busch Gardens.
Yeah SheiKra looks good!
Great ride, I did it 13 times on my trip to Efteling, such a shame that there wasn’t really any good merch for it though.
I have a hoodie from Baron 1898 which I got from the shop at the entrance. But I heard that merchandise is seasonal so it might've not been there.
What a missed opportunity if there's no merch
There's a rubber bracelet...not so pretty 😂😂 "I did it! Baron 1898"
One thing that you missed, and it takes a while to notice (it took me like 11 or 12 rides): the story is indeed about a baron who is obsessed with mining gold, but the gold is protected by the ghosts. The fun thing is that the tunnel after the first drop is actually filled with gold. But due to the mist and darkness in the tunnel, it is not that easy to spot.
Little things like these is what makes this coaster really stand out to me. As you said, the story really hypes you up for this coaster.
honestly had no idea! that's cool!
@@CoasterStudios I think you can spot a small part of it on the Baron 360° onride video Efteling released!
You don't notice it on the train but you can also hear them wailing and screaming from the tunnel when you are standing next to it. Really well done.
Your gonna ride striker this weekend. What day are you going I will be there.
You should make a top 10 dive coasters video
Did you know a dutch writer wrote a whole (kids)book about the story? Makes the experience even better!
I don't think I'll ever make it overseas, but I would ride this ride if I could.
Good video
is "krake" more intensive?
I'm first and keep up the good work and can you reveal Disney world secrets and it would get a lot views
Oh how I want to ride this
Are you gonna review Yukon striker soon it's pretty good
yes, after I ride it
He's riding it today
I love how you say “pony”
You forgot to tell the lift hill chain is also used for the stop before the drop!
The thing about the coaster is that it a sort of hypnotised you that you think you are actually a mineworker when you see that train in the station you heart has like 100 beats per minute. The fun thing is that I didn’t noticed the first time that I ride it that it had inversions
I know that it wasn’t constructed in 1898...
But what if...
It was constructed in 1898?!?!??!?! *cue Illuminati theme*
Parody material
Luciano Alonso I agree! I want to work for Coaster Studios now. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster would be a great parody.
@@jtbackup4553 I wished he hired me for the Steel Vengeance parody as an actor
@John Lorton there other coaster enthusiasts that he pays to say stuff in his coaster parody
Fun ,fun FUN!!!😄❤👍
My son went on the ride it was awesome
What would you say your favorite B&M Dive Coaster is? For me it's Sheikra.
Please do a "Oblivion tbh " review
For me Oblivion tbh and Valkyria are better. For me Oblivion tbh is a top 25 coaster. However Baron 1898 is a very good ride👍.
YEAH
Agree with you. The ride is good because of the theming wehre Efteling is World class.
Baron is great but it cannot beat the best themed Coaster ever flying dutchman just a few metres away from Baron.
That drop looks toooo scary. Not sure if I would get on that. Maybe bail as the doors open. Watch the ghosts👻
I actually prefer Joris en de draak but you’ve summed up baron perfectly
You might like Yukon Striker as your second favourite Dive coaster because it also has lots of themeing.
I'll know for sure this weekend!
Ur going to Canada’s wonderland??
I'd say this and Oblivion: The Black Hole are the best of this miniature dive coaster model from B&M. In my opinion though.
Ik like the coaster, but it's not my favorite. What did you think of the BOB, my personal favorite.
Jammer dat de bob weggaat...
I picture something like Baron 1898 in Dollywood.
Its something very different you need to ride it to understand
It looks sooooo cool!
At this time my only Dive Coaster is Oblivion at Alton Towers and i like that the tunel begins in the middle of the drop and not the end. A tunel at the end like Yukon Striker has (i hope you know what i mean).
Maybe im not far away from riding it because my homepark is Phantasialand and thats like 3 hours of driving. Maybe i can ride kraken this year too but the whole experience there looks just boring.
Kraken at SeaWorld? That's not a boring ride or park, at all
@@visionist7 Yes Im in Germany and i need 3 hours with the car to sea world
@@rcTimon lmao that would be quite the car journey lol
@@visionist7 :D
i have ridden this ride alot because i live 1 hour with the car from the efteling
baron 1898 is the dive coaster that says bigger isn't always better, its about the experience, also best designed lifthill
Question
Will you be going to CW to ride Yukon striker this year?
Not just this year- this weekend!
Would you like to do a review for speed of sound 'the best vekoma boomerang in the world' in walbi holland please
I don't think I'll be doing a review of it, since there are so many other coasters around Europe that are completely original that I'd rather review
It's good isn't it?
so the story (like most of the stories in efteling) is based on local myths. Back in the 19th century the baron found some gold and tried to hire miners (you the guest) to mine it for him, the white ladies ("witte wieven") are the guardians of the gold and they won't allow you to take the gold. The first show ends with them saying "You have been warned". Before you go up the lifthill they say "You were warned, pride comes for the fall!".
Efteling does have signs etc to explain it to international audiences but not everything is translated, like what the white ladies say for example. The park also has a 13 minute video of the story on the yt page (with english subs)
You should do the Fuji Q Higland Review and its Rides.
Zachary Bilby i will after I visit this summer!
Let's see what u think of pukon striker
0:50 RMC: Are you sure about that
Oblivion (AT) is not a mini Dive Coaster btw
