Brand new Efteling ride working again after shutdown

Good news for roller-coaster fans - the brand new Efteling ride Baron 1898 is working again, the amusement park announced on Tuesday morning. The ride had been shut down for two days due to malfunctions. The Baron 1898 broke down on Sunday morning, 45 minutes after the park opened. Efteling technicians worked all through Monday and late into the night to fix the problem, which turned out to be a broken switch, AD reports.

#Baron1898 is weer open voor onze gasten!

The ride is now once again operational, but visitors will still have to have some patience. Before the fault, lines at the Baron 1898 were more than 2 hours long.
