Baron 1898 is one of my favourite rides at Efteling and a great overall ride. Yes it's short and isn't as tall as other dive coasters, however the overall package of the elements and theming certainly make up for it.
Efteling are great at story telling and theming and Baron doesn't disappoint. I've used the single rider queue a couple of times and have walked straight into the first pre-show with no queuing on a busy day.
