Well, there still is the hourly Airport Express Bus from Antwerp City Center to Zaventem.
The first one leaves Antwerp de Keyserlei ( 100 m from Antwerp Central Station ) at 04:00.
Last one departs 23:00.
Optional stop at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (Park & Ride facilities)
Fare : 10 euro/adult - 5 euro/child - infants free of charge.

I wonder if this busservice will last ?

Re: The diabolo experience (free ride by train in the tunnel
I did the experience so i give you a small report.
As i had to work at the airport untill 16:00, I booked my diabolo experience at 16:20.
I arrived at the train station 16:10, they scanned my e-ticket and I proceed to the platform in the new part of the trainstation. 5 min later a kind of flashmob started from the opposite platform as the special train came slowly in. The train departed on time! At a very low speed the train departed with dimmed lights. In the beginning of the tunnel there was a show with "workers" constructing the tunnel (indoor firework action).
As the train continued slowly we entered the tunnel, where a lightshow showed us the concrete walls of it. An so at the end of the tunnel we arrived at the diabolo village. The village itself was more for kids. With a lot of animation, a podium, a couple of food and drinks corners and a place with more info about the project. Afther 20 min I took the train back to the airport. First he took us a couple of km's on to the middle of the E19, then driver changed steering side and returned to the airport at normal speed.
It was nice to have a closer look into the project and enjoyed the rides.
