"De Vliegende Hollander" in the Efteling will be closed for the remainder of this season (2007). This was decided by the board of directors after the most recent malfunction in this expensive rollercoaster.
Wednesday a chain, that pulls the nine cars through the water part of the rollercoaster, broke and riders had to be evacuated. Water has to be removed from the rollercoaster to solve the problem. This is a totally new problem, one of many that have haunted this rollercoaster from the opening april 2007.
The total cost of "De Vliegende Hollander" was 20.000.000 euros.
