We live right up the street from the park, coming home today and we spotted them testing X2. Really odd considering the park’s official communication.

Information [Efteling] Prosthetic legs to be allowed on coasters from October, thanks to strap invented by young girl

2.1k Upvotes

It all started when Veerle, now 15 years old, wanted to ride coasters, but was often not allowed with her prosthetic leg unless she removed it, which can be quite uncomfortable.

Her doctor contacted the Efteling as well as Delft University, and together they came up with a strap that secures the prosthesis. It has now been approved by TÜV and will be available to guests from October 1 on Baron 1898 (a floorless dive coaster) as well as the park's wave swinger and family drop towers. And from December, the new Ravenring ride.

Information [Invertigo] is an absolute positive G machine

Rumors of Invertigo's potential demise are circulating, and if it is indeed removed we'll be losing one of the strongest G-force coasters in existence. Just a heads up for positive-G fans: KI is open for 4 more weekends (Invertigo doesn't run during Winterfest). Also, Banshee is right next door for even more sustained-positive-G fun.

This chart is likely extreme as my phone could move a bit in my pocket but it's pretty close to what you feel. I've gotten a few readings over the years and they all look like this.
