  • The first stop on my tour around the Netherland is at Efteling. A magical Theme Park that many people rate as one of the best in the world. So join me as I experience everything that this amazing theme park has to offer. I'll take you on the rides with me so you get to hear my first reactions via on-ride POV's to Baron, Python, The Flying Duchman and all the other coasters as well as my thoughts on the dark rides as soon as I've ridden them.
    This is the day 1 vlog, in Day 2 we adventure in to the Fairytale forest and much more. That vlog will be out soon.
    There is also a travel vlog, already on the channel showing how we traveled around between Eftling, Toverland and Walibi Holland.

    Efteling isn't about the fastest or highest rides; it's more about the experience. They've nailed that (and that's coming from somebody that doesn't like theme parks)

    The Python lifthill is running slow when two trains are on track, when there is only one train on track, the lift keeps the speed at which he picks up the train. This is to give the station more time to load.

    Never understand these coaster fanatics looking for airtime and skipping D'Halve Maen (swinging ship). imo You don't get more airtime than on that ride (if you sit in the back seats).

    About Python, it got retracked a year ago as well but in this instance they didn't just retrack it, but they recalculated the whole coaster while maintaining the impact you spoke about in the front row; It's so much smoother now than before the retrack but it's still a solid coaster.

    Slight correction: Python wasn’t re-tracked by Vekoma, but by a Belgian company called CSM. That’s why the new track looks “odd”

      The lifthill and station are the only og parts the rest is the retrack.But the efteling knows its a park favorite and wasnt worked on till the retrack for big maintenance.Before joris there was a other wooden coaster named pegasus. But that coaster became old and wasnt good so they build joris en de draak. but a few years ago they found problems and parts where moving too much. Now it has been fixed with new wood for the sleepers where the track is on and some titan track in the parts that where moving too much.

    I don't know which walibi you're planning on visiting (if you haven't visited it already at this point), and I don't know if it still exists.
    But when I went to walibi as a child there was this (entirely) "underground" roller coaster that basically felt like you were riding on the minecarts from the snes game [donkey Kong country], just an abyss below you that felt like it went on forever. Probably wasn't as big of a space as it appeared to be, but because of the darkness it felt like the coaster went into the center of the earth and was built inside a giant cave or something.
    If I remember correctly, the track was lit by tiny lights all across the track making it appear as though the track was just floating in the darkness. Which was absolutely insane! I remember looking to my left at one point and seeing part of the track some ways away and... Man... For a moment I wasn't sure if I was ever going to see daylight again. 😂
    If it still exists, I recommend giving it a try.
    I don't remember the exact name, but I believe it had [mouse] or [rat] in the name. Maybe some of my fellow dutchies remembers the coaster I'm talking about and can give you the actual name. 😅

      @@CoasterGiant1 Efteling takes care of their rides untill they have no other option. They recently demolished Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house and are going to rebuild it with new techniques but according to the original blueprints. It was in such a bad shape they had no other choice. It was a bit of an operation since a big pneumatic main is running underneath it that powers much of the fairytale forest's animatronics. They also recently demolished the Spookslot (a haunted house) because they couldn't keep the old animatronics running anymore. It's being replace with the new Dance Macabre ride that will open later this year.
      Efteling has seen many changes over the years. The teacup ride used to be cannibal themed with cooking pots you could sit in. It played the song Monsieur Cannibale which you can now still hear in the Aquanura water show.
      Final note: you didn't seem to like Carnaval Festival. It is indeed popular with children and it's themesong is pretty much known by everyone in The Netherlands, it's a real earworm. The ride is based on Carnaval, which is mostly celebrated in the south of The Netherlands. Look up some videos on Carnaval and you'll see the ride is themed as if you are making your way through a Carnaval parade. It's the most important event of the year in the province of North Brabant where the Efteling is located.

It's like they just have some more track to let people recoup from that drop. It really fits Efteling's theming though and since this is not a park that has any real thrill rides it's an okay addition. You visit this park for the theming, not for the thrills, anyway.

    I'm just at the start of the video, but man, you need a better camera! You should be filming in 4K60 in 2024! Especially with the fast coaster footage. And it doesn't have to be some super exotic camera, even just a somewhat recent Google Pixel or iPhone shoots way better video than what you have here. Gonna continue watching now, but sad to see that the quality could have been so much better.

      Quite shocked at that, even watching on my big TV the quality looks far better than a lot of vloggers I watch who film on iPhones etc. I’m happy with the quality. This is just a hobby and a way of capturing memories so I won’t be dropping any money on new equipment any time soon I’m afraid. Thanks for watching though 👍🏻

      @@CoasterGiant1 I finished the video and it was a nice overview of the park! I may have been a bit too negative in my earlier comment. In some parts of the video, the image quality is pretty good, but others not so much. Colors are not great, the sky often blown out and perhaps bitrate on the low side? Also the dark (inside footage) is pretty bad. A camera that does better (HDR like) processing would get a better result here.
      For comparison, find the video on YT titled "Google Pixel 8 Pro 4K Camera Video Samples Day and Night" and compare the colors, sky and dark footage.
      Just for clarity, I commented with the intention for constructive feedback, but reading it back I could have done a better job formulating that. Keep up the the good work otherwise. :)

      @@CoasterGiant1 Dutch pancakes are big and flat. The thickness is in the middle of a crepe and an american pancake. Add on like apple, raisins, cheese or bacon are backed in with it. Poffertjes are small, puffy because of yeast in the batter and add on is on top of it. Original the batter of poffertjes contain buckwheat instead of regular wheat. But that isn't always the case anymore.
