"Flying Dutchman" recreation showcase - Planet Coaster

Flying Dutchman is for me the best dark ride I have ridden. Even though it's mainly a coaster. I'm always impressed by how good the dark ride part is. Add to this the amazing theming of the whole queue line, station platform and outside and you have one great experience.
Because of this I wanted to tackle this as a Planet Coaster recreation. I didn't expect that it would be such a long and big project but here we are. About 130 hours of work spread over about a year and over 73k ingame pieces.
Note that the shore and height of the pathing is to high, partly because I miss calculated and partly because of the pathing limitations in the game. So you will see that 'De Kombuys' food court is way to high compared to the water. Something I noticed way to late in the project and couldn't fix anymore.
Hope you all like it, a lot of work gone into this project and video(s)
Special thanks to all those who helped with video and photo reference material and all the support during the project.
Thanks for watching!

As someone who has done this ride probably over a 50 times, i can honestly say, what a wonderful job recreating de vliegende hollander. You did the ride justice, even with the limitation of the game. I have to praise your patience, making all this recreations with such detail is not something everyone has the endurance for.

[@Operateur]

Thanks a lot, I adore this ride and had to do it proper :D

[@TrickyPlaysGames]

This is incredible. More details than my computer would be able to handle :P Great job, Operateur :)

How on earth do you have the patience!? This is truly incredible. I'm excited to see what else you'll come up with next. Until then hope you have a happy new year and I'll see you next decade

[@sander8928]

Heel. Erg. Knap! What a masterpiece! I'm always amazed when I see results like these; it proves that you didn't give up even though it was a very lengthy project with probably quite some hurdles to overcome. Amazing work and really nice from that the Efteling that they've cooperated in helping you authorizing to use their incredible music.

[@MysticalQ]

Wow! You are a genius! This is so good! I could even smell the onride experience when it goes thru the indoor part! Amazing! Well done!

[@rogierhabraken2022]

It's nice to see the project coming to an end and especially with an impressive result! Your eye for details payed off, in a big way! Well done Operateur!

[@Ride_Unlimited]

De vliegende Hollander is altijd al mijn favoriete attractie geweest. En hij ziet er echt prachtig uit zeer mooi werk 😁

[@gielluiten7688]

Ride Unlimited je moet is weten de Efteling wil hem juist weg hebben maar dan verliezen ze heel wat man net als de bob die willen ze ook al 5 jaar weg hebben en nu is i eindelijk weg ps was mijn lievelings attractie mis hem maar de vliegende Hollander kost heel veel om te runnen want er is bijna altijd storing of er doet iets niet snapje gwn weetje

[@laurenchristiaens]

@@gielluiten7688 dat zou een heel groot verlies zijn. 😮

[@martijn9568]

Even snel die attractie benoemen tot nationaal erfgoed

[@ElmoPlayss]

@@gielluiten7688 efteling heeft nooit gewild dat de bob weg moest. Ze konden geen nieuwe materialen meer krijgen dus moest die hellaas weg gehaald worden.

[@matthijscm.verhagenverhage4103]

Heel mooi project operateur ik hoop nu ook wel dat je de Joris en de draak gaat maken, mijn grote complimenten voor jouw. Je bent in mijn ogen de beste planet coaster bouwer

[@kristinebellamy5249]

My jaw dropped to the floor about 10sec into the video and I haven't picked it up yet... I also really love the transition you made in the video from day to night, along with the music change. So well done

[@rutgercamphuis3190]

This build really deserves a 10000000000000000000 out of 10! Respect!👍👏 Groeten uit Nederland!

Thanks my friend

[@flaffstar_99]

[@MisterDutch93]

[@dirkredjokinginn531]

[@pretparkfansbelgie]

Dit is werkelijk de mooiste recreation van De Vliegende Hollander die ik ooit al heb gezien!! Ik hoop dat je misschien ooit is een darkride ga na bouwen.

[@danielharr01]

You should build Joris next even though it is a weak GCI I think the recreation would be incredible!

[@marijnm]

At the indoor section I kinda missed the boat light (I know that would be impossible in PC) but actually, it's very realistic without them because they don't work half the time anyway :D Great job!!

[@Operateur]

Indeed, the light makes a huge difference in the dark mist scene. But indeed not in planco

[@MrDjdavy]

Die sterrehemel bij het station is in het echt niet maar zouden ze wel moeten doen. Verder super goed gedaan heb alle video's gevolgd en nu eindelijk het resultaat.

[@Asieroner]

Niceee!!! 👌🏻

[@jeanwilms2637]

Very nice work! Maybe you can recreate symbolica from the Efteling in the future? It has a lot of little detail so maybe it’s a nice idea

[@Operateur]

I don't like doing interiors in planco. Because of the bad lighting and no shadows. So I'm sadly gonna pass on that.

[@jeanwilms2637]

Operateur I totally understand that! I think it is very difficult too. you are doing so much great work so keep on the good work!💪🏻

Hello! May I ask how to change the time without opening the UI? Thanks so much!

[@rutgerdejong1700]

A-MA-ZING! Net zo goed als je Baron 1898 recreatie! Jij kan echt toveren met dit spel! Hoop dat je ook ooit Joris en de Draak, Symbolica, Fata Morgana en Droomvlucht probeert!

Nice job too, exactly how I remember

[@kristinebellamy5249]

He already did Baron!

[@CoasterKeegan]

Waar is joris en de draak? En miss was het handig geweest om baron en dvh niet in éen map te doen want dan gaat mn pc er aan.

[@CoasterKeegan]

@Quin van Vegchel baron geeft veel lag omdat dat een ouder project was, en joris geeft minder lag dan een full detail baron. een wat minder detail baron met alleen de toren en lift kan wel

[@Operateur]

JedD is er niet omdat ik die nog niet gemaakt heb. Dat Baron een ouder project is en meer lag geeft klopt niet want bij elk nieuw project gebruik ik meer en meer onderdelen. Baron is een van mijn eerste projecten met een minimum aan details. Als ik JedD zal doen ga ik die volledig in custom supports doen en dus veel meer objecten worden. Maar deze video gaat dus over Vliegende Hollander en niet over de andere attracties :D
