- In this vlog I visit the Efteling theme park in the Netherlands to take a look at the changes and updates for 2023 including the construction of the new Efteling Grand Hotel and Intamins new Danse Macabre attraction.
Efteling is a beautiful family theme park that has won numerous, well deserved awards since its inception back in 1952. Featuring some amazing rides like Joris en de Draak and Baron 1898 as well some truly spectacular dark rides such as Symbolica, it's a resort that should be on everyones list to visit.

Efteling is really meant as a family park, generations were brought up with it. It is a family tradition to have been at least once!
as someone who grew up in the netherlands this park has played a large part in my youth. glad to see you're appreciating the park as much as i have
You have a great home park! I miss it already 😊 Thanks so much for watching.
While visiting the Efteling Museum, "people need to see that stuff but maybe that's just me."
It's not just you for sure and I 100% agree that it's a shame not more parks do this. It was really fun to follow along on your visit to one of my favorite parks. Thanks for your appreciation and sharing your adventure!
Thanks for watching Meticulous. I really hope it’s something more parks do in the future. Was really impressed by that little museum. Really great stuff.
The Efteling is a park where the world could be proud of!
A lovely vlog it was so relaxing to watch!
Thanks so much Bram - I’m glad you enjoyed!
Wanna go here so badly it looks amazing :D
It’s an incredible park - I hope you get to go one day 😊
Just rewatching your vlog after we went in July for the week staying on site, incredible park, so good we booked again in December 🎄
Really glad you enjoyed it! It’s a magical park and I hope you have a great time revisiting at Christmas!
They actually completely polished Droomvlucht last year and made some changes. It was closed for a while. It looks brand new again. I was in there again after 25 years last year and I cried a bit I have to say. Childhood memories. The 3 elfs on the tree. One of them is new.
It’s a beautiful attraction and I’m really happy that they took the time to restore it for future generations to enjoy. Thanks so much for watching!
I can see you put a lot of effort into this video. Well done, great vlog!
Thank you Tiku, and thanks for watching, it’s appreciated.
Great Vlog, Efteling is one of my bucket list European theme parks
It really is a great park with some wonderful rides! Thanks for watching Attractions.
@@_adventureplanet it for sure looks like it and you’re welcome
Always love seeing outside love for the park. Lovely video
34:48 The part of Spookslot that's still standing on the left will indeed be incorporated into the new building for Danse Macabre. However, the part you see in the back on the right has already been built for the rest of the themed area around the new ride, and will be accessible this summer. This will include new toilets, a sweets shop and another food place.
That’s for the update Ubsje. Can’t wait to come back and visit again when it’s all open!
Another great vlog. Toverland looks like a great park too in the Netherlands, especially the new for 2018 Avalon with the B&M Winged Coaster "Pheonix" and the water ride with a dark ride section "Merlins quest" looks amazing and the whole looks really magical!
Thanks Jake - Toverland is second to Efteling in my opinion, I prefer it over the Walibi parks. It’s a park I do need to revisit for a vlog 😊
Thank you for appreciating the Efteling. This park played an important part in my youth. Still is a beautiful park.
It really is a great park and I’m looking forward to visiting again. Thanks for watching Martine.
Great Vlog,i really like your filming style and relax Voice..Greetings From Netherlands
Thanks so much! I really hope to visit the Netherlands again soon. Thank you so much for watching
Great camera and the editing is spot on! 👏👍👍👍
This maybe the first time that the Anton Pieck museum got some credits in a vlog!
I felt it absolutely deserved coverage, such a great little museum. Thanks for watching Aad!
@@_adventureplanet So true! Most Dutchies grew up with Anton Pieck.
Baron 1898 looks awsome, i love Oblivion at Alton Towers but this version if a B&M Dive coaster justs amazing!
The storyline really makes Baron as well. I do love a coaster with a good story 😊
@@_adventureplanet Yeh i totaly agree with that! Both Wickerman and Nemesis Reborm at Alton Towers are great coasters but the storyline and areas amd soundtrack really make them the 2 best overall experiences at the park!
Quality vlog!
Glad you enjoyed Maarten, thanks so much for watching.
In sylbolica, you know immediately which tour you go on by the flag behind the cart when you step in. Music is green, heroes is blue and treasure is red
😮 Oh nice! I never picked up on that! It’s such a great ride too, can’t wait to get back on it again in the future.
The darkride part of the Flying Dutchman is actually supposed to be you sailing out to sea on the 1st day of Easter and get cursed just like the Flying Dutchman. That’s why it’s so dark
Thanks for the info Jelbe, much appreciated! Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
@@_adventureplanet I did, although I may have gotten the day wrong with when the ride opened. And I didn’t know that the part of python was there
@@_adventureplanet also the downward spiral in droomvlucht used to be quite a bit faster. And you actually would get jumpscared by the troll at the bottom
Joris & de Draak is definitely the best coaster of the Efteling. I remember going on it with my sister, wasn't expecting much because Pegasus was not too interesting. Normally my sister will scream in coasters but for this one she was silent/petrified the whole time through, it's just too fast.
It’s a glorious wooden coaster for sure! Both layouts were a lot of fun! Thanks for watching Quixotic.
I really liked Pegasus. It was brutally uncomfortable though 😂
Great video!
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice vlog.
Thanks Themersive, glad you enjoyed. Have a great Christmas and new year!
Great video hope you had a blast in the efteling i was the one who pre seated you at joris en de draak
It was such a great day thank you! Ahh of course, you gave me the front row! Keep up the awesome operations and thanks for watching.
I am verry bad in English sorry for that but I will try!
Thank you so much. I live in the Netherlands and you are the first youtuber from another country how did some research before visiting and knows what he is talking about. LOVE IT! ❤
Ahh thank you Rene, that’s nice to hear 😊 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. Your English is great!
It is always a joy to see people enjoy my home park ^^
Some background info on that 'weird scene' in Fata Morgana. It's a Djinn, which is a magical creature from the culture that the ride is based on ^^
Fata Morgana also means 'mirage' , an image caused by atmospheric refraction / light waves. So what you see is actually 'not really there'.
Efteling uses this story telling technique a lot, just as with Droomvlucht, so they can have a variety of scenes that don't have a coherent storyline, but do form one big story :)
Great vlog! You can really see how much effort you put into it. Looking forward to see more vlogs from you
Ahh thank you so much for the compliments and information, and thanks for taking the time to watch, it really is appreciated.
It’s a stunning park and I had an amazing time! Really looking forward to getting back there to experience the hotel and new areas next year 😊
Stampidia is a racing duel coaster at Port Aventure Park Spain and Blackpool England has racing coasters. your channel is very good keep up the great work
Hi Richard, thanks so much for taking the time to watch, it’s appreciated. Yes I wasn’t very clear in the vlog but I meant one of 2 duelling woodys in the world ‘manufactured by GCI’. Apologies 😊
im going to the efteling for 5 days in a couple months im excited! greetings from the netherlands! :D
Thanks for watching Demungus and I hope you have the best time!
@@_adventureplanet 1:01:20 that is sure a "What in al of this holy" ending tho XD
sending another comment here after watching more of your video. i'm down to edit some of these vlogs for you if you're ever short on time! i'd love to see this channel grow more
Thanks Pixel, that’s much appreciated. Still very much new to the editing side and will keep that in mind.
@@_adventureplanet you're doing an amazing job at it so far! keep it up!
Working on a vlog of the Efteling at the moment, and it’s really a shame that python was closed, but it’s funny to see all the places that I went from another perspective. Also, you sat on exactly the same place on Joris en de Draak as me! Another fun vlog, really like them👍
Thanks Shan, best of luck with the vlog. Yeah it was a bit sad about Python as I haven’t been on it since the retrack but I’m sure I’ll get another opportunity soon 😊
@@_adventureplanet thanks bro, I never had the chance do ride Python, even before the retracking. So I hope I will get the chance oké day or another!
@@shantiamobefore it was retracked, in the '90 I did 7 runs back to back in Python.
@@toaojjc WoW you Should’ve been dizzy after that!
You've got a good voice. And i liked this video!
Thanks Lt. Savior that’s much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I mean this in the best way possible.. but when you are on a ride you sound like the Ghost of Christmas Present from The Muppet Christmas Carol😊
Subscribed, awesome vlog!
🤣🤣 I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks so much for watching, it’s appreciated.
@@_adventureplanet It sure is mate! Love the enthousiasm!
I like your comment. You have to know that all off the music is special compost by the Efteling for each ride. Droomvlucht was closed during March to give it a fresh up, some technical works and all new lightning. During May they do the same with the Fata Morgana. The figure at the end of Fata Morgana is a Gini, a spirit well know in Asian country's. And yes he is the guardian of the stressors.
That’s for that info Rob. Droomvlucht does look great currently. There are some very special dark rides at the park, really impressive. Thanks for watching Rob
The big thing at the end of the Fata Morgana ride is called the Djinn. He guards the treasures of the Pasha of the forbidden cursed city you just went through. He shakes the poles of the room to try collapsing it. After the Djinn the Caliph, who lead you into the city, appears again opening a route out of the city so you can leave the city safely.
Thanks for the info Z3ROR, it’s much appreciated, and thank you for watching!
Actually after the Djinn the wizard helps you to escape but you’ll end up in an storm where the water boils - finally reaching your doom in a room that slowly turns taking you into the underworld with fire and more boiling water. So you don’t make it alive - you die!
Piraña is only a soaker in the summer. They can change the water level and water effects. Above 25⁰C the water of the Piraña is at its full potential you can get of totally drenched then.
More parks should do that, makes much more sense. Still, it was way too cold to go on it that day though 😅
@@_adventureplanet I also saw you comment on Vogel Rok, they added new birds and a new ceiling with a starry sky last September and they keep adding stuff to it. Also Baron 1898 was according to the CEO, just an infill attraction cause Symbolica was the main focus. So it may not have the best layout, but it is storytelling wise, one of the best Dive machines out there. (The baron discovered gold and the white woman, which is basically a mysterious mist, according to legend killed everyone to protect the land). That is basically the story of Baron 1898, and your mine cart goes Rogue because of the white woman.
The stained glass window at the entrance/exit contain all the names of the people that work there. Where you where standing at piranha you can (during warmer months) splash people, using the statues on the otherside of the water. So much fun!!! And when you are walking tot Joris after Vogelrok. A kid gilave you a compliment on your camera.. 🤣 (heard him say, mooie camera)😂
The floating castles aren't complete. A couple fell during a maintenance close..
Thanks so much for watching Jessica and for that info! I hope ‘mooie camera’ is a good thing? 😅
@@_adventureplanet nice camera
Grand national is a dueling wooden coaster
I meant that GCI manufacture. I could have made it clearer.
The oo in stoomtrein is pronounced as the o in hope. Same with Spookslot and Oost.
Interesting! Thanks for the info Palantir.
Subtitle: "Welcome to the F-telling" 😂
You got the story of baron so so close. its a tale about a baron that went mining for gold when the rest was on easter you should not work. but the baron didnt listen. then the white women warn him that its gonna go all wrong if he doesnt stop and then you go down the shaft and it goed all kinds of wrong :D. flying dutch man is going about a captain going out to travel with his ship around christmas and his ship gets damaged and sails for years and you find the ship. They just renewed the lifthill so now instead of the projection they use real fronts of ships like you travel close near them and then find the boat of the captain and he swallows youre ship and then you drop. dance macabre will have a theme area with it called shiver woods. it will have a few shops and is bassicly a sorta themed entrance row. Fata morgana is one of the oldest rides still working they have been updating them. i even gotten a late evening tour with a company i worked for and it was amazing.
Thanks for the detailed descriptions Niels, that’s great stuff! Thanks for watching
this place is better than anything we have in britain..... ok, we have blackgang chine.....but this is far, far, far, better...... fairplay here to the dutch.
It’s an incredible place. Really hoping to get back there soon! Thanks for watching
This guy just casually skipped the sprookjesbos (fairytale forest)
Trust me, I didn’t casually skip anything on the day, a lot was cut from this vlog (and it was still over an hour in length). The fairytale forest could easily have a dedicated vlog of its own, but unfortunately, as time was limited, Longneck was the guy that got all the honours this time.
@@_adventureplanet you should upload that as a video!
What dates in April did you go? Would like to go this April, but don't want it to be too busy
I was there on the 23rd and 24th and it wasn’t too bad at all in terms of crowd levels.
@@_adventureplanet Thank you :)
Nice vlog, I enjoyed that.
But you might want to consider buying a different camera.
That wide angle made me feel nauseous after a couple of minutes.
Thank you, and yes to be honest, I’ve been looking for a dedicated Vlogging camera for a while however I’ve yet to find one that satisfies me both in portability and image stabilisation. Keeping my eye open though. Thanks for watching!
@@_adventureplanet There's another lens setting on the GoPro you can use called "Linear" That will remove the wide-angle distortion :)
Fata Morgana closes with a giant Djinn that warns you to keep the forbidden city you just visited a secret, and if you don't the snake will find you... So be careful! (Or prepare for snake bites.)
At the beginning there is a magician who opens the doors for you, and invites you for a visit to Scheherazade's 1001 nights city, forbidden for all strangers except you...
Fascinating stuff. Thanks so much for description and thanks for watching!
What date in april did you went? Bc i went april 12
I went on the 22nd!
For why the baron isn't as high . efteling tries to stay close to the height of tree lines when it comes to the rides. They want it too truly feel like your walking through nature (fairytale forest ) so the tree's hide the attractions from vieuw untill you get to the area .
Indeed, Alton Towers here in the UK operates in the same way. Didn’t take anything away from the ride though, was still great!
@@_adventureplanet The Efteling is next to a National Park (nature reserve) and has strict limitations on height, sound level, light at night etc. Every extension takes years of procedures. But the theme park started to make this end of the nature park attractive for recreation, especially for kids so they had something to do and see.
Sorry but isn't stampida at portaventura a racing wooden coasters as well 🤔
You’re absolutely right, I meant also manufactured by GCI though 😊 That was potentially set to change with Mad Racers in China but I think that construction has been hit with several issues!
No problem, I've rode both these coasters and although stampida feels like your inside a washing machine , I think the layout is better. FYI just got back from plortaventura in July and the last ride my wife and myself had before we left was on stampida in the dark with lighting in the sky (no rain) . Never before in all the years riding coasters have I witnessed something so magical
That sounds incredible, hope you had a great time! I do enjoy Stampida and am due to visit Port Aventura again soon! Thanks for watching Ken.
I don't know what it is with that rumour, but this pirate ship only was the biggest in the world in the first couple years of operation.
Since then several bigger ones have been build like "Viking" (1985) at Nagashima Spaland
Yeah I’m not sure either, I couldn’t seem to find any official capacity data for Viking, but Halve Maen still seems to be the one most commonly recognised as the largest in the world.
@@_adventureplanet Viking has two boats with a capacity of 160 people each.
Jumbo Viking does, however the fact that it’s two ships may mean it sits in a different category. Also not sure sure if ‘largest’ means by capacity, structurally or by highest swing etc. Halve Maen is however still listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest single swinging pirate ship attraction.
@@_adventureplanet Viking has a height of 131ft compared to Halve Maen's 67ft.
In full swing it reaches a height of 141ft compared to 79ft.
So yeah. Halve Maen is definitely not the biggest anymore.
Someone needs to let Guinness (and the internet) know then 😅
Just to be sure: you said Joris en de Draak was only 1 of 2 dueling wooden coasters left. Did you mean in the world? In that case, at least Stampida in PortAventura should be added to that list 😉
I did mean worldwide, but also manufactured by GCI - sorry, wasn’t very clear on that 😏 Thanks so much for watching!
@@_adventureplanet haha ok, fair enough 🤣. Have you been to PortAventura yet btw? As far as theming goes, it's an absolutely spectacular park with lots of great coasters. Stampida being one of my favorites 😉
I have indeed, but I’m long overdue a visit. I’d like to get out soon if possible to do a bit of a Spanish mini tour including Porta, Ferrari Land, Parque Warner Madrid etc.
@@_adventureplanet Sounds like a very nice plan. Looking forward to seeing those videos. Enjoy!
Have a great week Wouter
Vogelrok doesn’t have a single rider tho…..
No no not stoemtrain.... stoamtrayn
Double oo in Dutch is pronounced like boat and coat not boot. (The English oo as in boot would be oe in Dutch )
The ei in 'trein' (train) is a sound that doesn't exist in English, but it comes close to Dye or Ay. Although if a Dutch native would pronounce it like that it would be considered terribly unsophisticated (think My Fair Lady bad accent) 😅
Haha thank you! I feel that when I revisit, my pronunciations should be much better 😄
Thanks for watching!
You forget to say it’s my opinion. You sound like is it is the way it is. Ask 10 people 10 opinions!
Not quite sure what you’re referring to but of course everything in the whole video is my opinion…I’m not going to say ‘in my opinion’ after every single thing I talk about, that would get a little monotonous no? It’s for the viewers to decide whether they agree or not. Thanks for watching!
