Yeah, they better get that nasty water changed...
GEESH! That car goes wayyy too slow, I just watched the vid.
They do need to work on it a bit more... other that that, it looks ok...
EDIT- ^ Posted at same time... ^Yeah, that "boat" looks like it would have trouble getting up onto the lift...

What about the speed?! Are they going to fix that? I'd much rather have a rough lifthill than to go through the course at that speed. I'm glad they'll have more time to get the theming better, though.

You're watching a rather old video. 
And the water BECAME very clean... it's sucked away again though.

Do you have a new video?
If what you're hinting at is true, then this might be the best coaster since Black Mamba.

Here's a video from me from June 2nd.
*click*
The water is very clear, but the ground has this sand color.
This makes the water look like it should look like... like an old river or lake in the Golden Century, instead of a clear blue swimming pool (it's theming, dudes!).

That looks like one of the worst rides ever.

The ride really needs two car trains, and they really need to change the color of the water somehow. I know it's not, but it *looks* dirty.

you really need to appriciate every thing about it. Not just how intense it is. I think it will be an awsome ride, even as slow as it goes. Coasters don't need to be 200+ feet high to be fun.That looks like one of the worst rides ever.
Anyway, the top of that hill looks like it gives mild float air. And the banked turn looks great, hanging down sidways like that. I'd like to see this when it opens with all the scenery.

The coaster is a little slow and short, but I don't mind. Now you've got more time to look at the awesome theming.
I also REALLY need to tell you that this is not just a watercoaster! The queue is completely themed, making it a "walkthrough". Inside the building there is an awesome darkride with HUGE water falls.
Speaking of theming... I have some more pics of the themed building, the tunnel and the dunes.
And a video of the INSIDE!:

^^Why must you always make assumptions? Did I at any point say a coaster has to be 200+ feet to be good? No. The theming is great I must say, but it won't improve the quality of the ride that much judging from the video. It's slow and short like jogumpie said, and coaster lovers such as myself are always seeking high g-forces and speed; which clearly this coaster doesn't pull at all.
I think the most thrilling coasters are Hypers and up, and intamin loopers and Bemmer inverts.

I assumed that you tought that coasters had to be huge in order to be fun because you said: "That looks like one of the worst rides ever."
And now you say: "It's slow and short like jogumpie said, and coaster lovers such as myself are always seeking high g-forces and speed; which clearly this coaster doesn't pull at all."
And also, When I said "I think the most thrilling coasters are Hypers and up, and intamin loopers and Bemmer inverts."
I said "thrilling". right? Did I say this coaster was thrilling? no. It's not always about how fast they go, or how many G's they pull.

I think this ride would be pretty thrilling. It has a launch at the top of the lifthill. The last coaster I rode with a launch like that was The Mummy at US:O. That had some insane ejector air...

I can't remember whether I told you that the coaster was delayed till 2007 or not, but that's what happened...
The point where the cars connect to the chain lift is too rough. It pulls too many G's. Today was officially stated that Intamin is trying to fix this problem.

Wow! That's a while ago! The ride has been opened the day before yesterday and its popularity is huge. 
Half of the ride is indoor and it is REALLY dark inside, but I found a quite good onride:

Combine this onride with another one:

And De Efteling has put up a webcam:
