Hey everyone! Thanks so much for watching! I film all of these clips one take, and in the circumstance of filming + runnning off like 20 minutes of sleep, I did make a few mistakes in the video that I wanted to correct here: A. The Dutch government did not gift the House Of The Five Senses. I must’ve been thinking of Energylandia getting a few dollars from the EU to boost tourism in Poland, have no clue how I made that mistake. I apologize if it was misleading B. I also said in a comment that the Netherlands has free healthcare. I was also wrong, and I since deleted the comment to prevent misinformation. Since a ton of European counties do provide universal healthcare, I assumed it was standard across the EU. My apologies! I want to thank everyone for leaving comments and letting me know about my factual incorrectness, I love learning and am sorry if I got anything else wrong that I forgot about. I absolutely loved this park and will be very honored to visit the Netherlands to visit this park again in the future!
Loved the video. That park looks so chill and quiet and yet those dark rides are amazing!!!! Love your commentary….thank you for sharing!! Wish we could have ridden the coasters with you!! So glad you got to go!!!
Awesome to see you had a great time! And great that you stayed at Bosrijk, it's actually the place I work at in the kitchens! Would love to have you there again next time!!!
@@inspectornl It was an absolutely amazing experience. Thanks for the phenomenal hospitality! I had dinner inside the village and you guys were extremely accommodating with my allergies. One of the best meals I’ve had at a theme park.
I loved you video! Efteling is my happy place and I’m very happy with my subscription on the park. I go about 14 times a year and every single time i’ts so so magical! For you I hope you can come back and experience this beautiful park again!
@@annevanbeukering3410 Thanks for watching! You hit the Efteling as often as I usually hit Cedar Point !! Very jealous, just lmk if you want to trade 😂
Great video!! I live about 25 minutes from this park so it feels like my "home park". I always love to watch other people visit it, especially foreign people since your expectations are sometimes different from what we are used to. Your enthousiasm is awesome and I can't wait to go again myself. (having an annual pass, it will be somewhere next week) Hope to see you come back someday in the future! I'll keep an eye on the channel!
@@vampironl Thanks for watching! Very jealous of this being your home park! It was definitely WAY different to our parks back here in the United States. You don’t get the little quirks and charm in those parks since they try to nickel and dime you around every corner. I’ve been missing this park ever since I got back!
Carnaval Festival is the oldest dark ride in the park, and yes; it's dated. But it's also extremely nostalgic and the kids absolutely love it. They have an entire media franchise surrounding it, including a very popular tv show. I think removing it would be a very bad idea. I do think they would do well to seperate it more from the "World of Sindbad" right next to it, perhaps with more greenery, a wall or even rerouting the entrance to the other side.
@@Thebassjunk I hope they keep it as it is important to the park, but I hope it gets a major refurb and hopefully changing the China and Japan scenes which were questionable, or a new dark ride with the same theme and idea
@@CoasterCactus As a Dutch person that really likes the Efteling, I agree with you. I have a certain disdain for this ride, in part because I hate the aesthetic of it, but mostly because of the racism. As others have said, they apparently did a refurbish and removed like 10% of the racism, but it's still very much there. Missed the point. Don't mind the other commenters, the Netherlands has been swept up by crazy conservative thinking recently but I swear there's a lot of decent people here that see the problem as well. Great vid btw!
Nice video... your on-ride shots are good but you nailed it with the footage of the outside areas, it really captures the quiet vibe of the park as I remember it. I'll be sure to check out your videos of other parks. BTW yes, many people share your dislike of Carnival Festival.
@@kaasmeester5903 Thank you! And carnival festival was definitely not up to the standards of the rest of the park. Especially during the Japan and China sections i kept cringing at the blatant stereotyping and racist portrayals of asian people. It’s definitely a product of its time but I sincerely hope it either gets overhauled or replaced with something better in the future.
Python is a classic in Efteling. It was installed in 1981 and was the first looping coaster in Europe. The park wanted to get more teens into the park and opened that new area along with the Giant Pirate ship. So not a little of theming, but a true classic. Btw, Villa Volta was the original Mad House. i wondered if you have seen anything from the fairytale forrest, because it looked like you missed it. I hope you get back some day.
@@Nitzpitz I thoroughly enjoyed Python. I’ve ridden a lot of arrow loopers (same layout), and Python is definitely the best I’ve done, I guess i wasn’t expecting it to be more standard presented. Not a bash, just caught me off guard. I managed to sneak in a bit of the forest after I got done filming while leaving the park (briskly walked through it), and made it to the donkey statue with the castle. Absolutely beautiful and next time I will definitely spend a few hours back there, reminded me of Enchanted Forest in Salem, OR And Villa Volta was awesome, one of my favorite dark rides
@@CoasterCactus It is a bit of a shock compared to the theming on everything else in the park yeah, but I do appreciate that the Efteling tries to keep all attractions in there original state unless they cannot be repaired anymore. Like Fata Morgana and Droomvlucht
the parc entrance a gift from the Dutch government???? The Dutch government GIVING things away for free????? Now that is what every Dutch citizen would call a fairytale 😆
I have never heard of that. Our gouvernement will never give monney to someting in the Netherlands for dutch people. Our monny is for Europe and the rest of the world 😤 not for us
@@CoasterCactus There is some misinformation being peddled here. The entrance building was not a gift from anyone; it was paid for by the Efteling. Also we don't have free healthcare in the Netherlands, just mandatory health insurance. You may be thinking of the UK, where they do have free healthcare.
Yeah, reading through the comments and looking back at the video i have noticed I am wrong at a few things. I film these one take and definitely didn’t do enough research before filming! Thanks everyone for letting me know. I will post a pinned comment correcting my mistakes.
Great video, thanks👍 Efteling ist a beautiful parc but not my favorite. I prefer Europapark. Bigger, many more attractions (over a hundred), better and more roller coasters. Five four-star hotels and Rulantica, one of the best water parks in Europe. Phantasialand, Port Aventura, Energylandia or Alton Towers are also good. This is my personal list of my favorite parks in Europe. 1. Europapark ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ 2. Phantasialand⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3. Port Aventura ⭐⭐⭐⭐+ 4. Energylandia. ⭐⭐⭐⭐+ 5. Efteling ⭐⭐⭐⭐+ 6. Disney Paris ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 7. Alton Towers ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and so on....😉
I get where you are coming from. Europapark is just bigger and has more to do. Efteling is quality over quatity though. I've never seen better theming and vibes than the Efteling in a theme park.

Beautifully made video. You captured it so well. Especially loved the part where you edited the Dreamflight music in. Very well done.
@@liesbeth4271 Thank you! I really appreciate the support!
Thank you for the lovely tour.. always enjoy going to the Efteling
@@luuksimons6369 Thanks for watching!
Gondoletta white boosts are my favorite

@@patriciapolacco9829 Thank you! Those dark rides are truly something special!
Great to see you had such a wonderful time at Efteling!
I think next time you may need a day (or two) extra... 🙂
@@ZeNN-Music I would agree! Just another reason to take the pilgrimage back to the Netherlands i guess!

Carnaval festival never can leave. That is for so many people a concept. Is their youth. Must stay. Same for python is a proud.
If you think Vogel Rok's train is long, go take a look at Revolution at Bobbejaanland in Belgium. Glad you enjoyed the Efteling!
@@frederikcreemers7751 Bonbejaanland is in Antwerp right? I drove past it! Wish i could’ve gotten the credits.

@@CoasterCactusit got a refurb 2 years ago, they changed the China and Africa sections.
The China and Japan scenes are not questionable, you are just american. Nice video.
Nope this ride is not offensieve. People need to stop this.

Great, positive content!
AFAIK they tune the Vliegende Hollander based on the season and whether, in the summer it'll get you more wet.
@@dykam I heard that too. I was still surprised to not get ANY water on me both rides. Made the experience much better in my opinion
