As a person who has frequented many a dark ride at Disneyland for years, Efteling's rides have a wondrous childlike charm all their own. They often remind me of European stop-motion animations of fairy tales. Kudos to their designers and engineers. :)
I would never want this ride to end! Those floating cities in the stars - wow! I can only imagine how wide-eyed I'd be if I got to see this as a child.
My all time favorite Efteling attraction! I could go on this a million times and I would probably still enjoy it. Also a fun fact: it smells like flowers inside the ride!
It’s a very beautiful ride. I have been on it more than once. What you don’t notice in the video is that at the end you go in a kind of free fall down around that tree. Just like a kind of slow roller coaster. I love it.
Did you also know that: at the Castles scene at 0.53 that the spires of the castles rotate, move up and down and bend tot te sides. You van only see it wen you really look at Them.
that is not a free fall at all, a free fall is a roller coaster drop, during the drop there is no gravity. baron 1898 has a free fall, but droomvlucht not.
Expedition Theme Parks did a history video on this suspended dark ride attraction not too long ago, and he mentioned rumors that people thought of the attraction as a roller coaster when their vehicles spiral downward toward the ground level near the end of the ride experience, when really its not. Anyway, @MarcoWintjens, I'm glad you like it.
Amazing Dark Ride! This actually puts Disney to shame lol, it's got so much charm, and the sets are truly amazing. Loved the Star Tunnel too, best effect of that sort I've ever seen.
This has to be one of the best darkrides in the world, everybody can experience it in their own way and there is no real storyline. You just fly through a world of fairytales and dreams. I love it and great vid to show this world class ride to the rest of the world
This video doesn't let you experience the wonderful smells at this attraction . It's just magical. Transports you to the world of Elves and Trolls, like in a dream.
Truly amazing!! Reminds me of darkness ride when I was a kid & the owners of the park were passionate about the effort they put into keep their dark ride like you were entering a whole other universe. As a kid it really felt magical!! Old school, but in the best possible way. Thank you so much for sharing this!! 💜💜💜
That was otherworld like and beautiful. The music, the ambience everything was wonderful and very European. I enjoyed it a lot and would love to go on it someday!!
For everyone here not living in the Netherlands: come visit! The Efteling is a really fun and high quality theme park, and the most people that come love it. I have a funny story about Dream Flight. So, my dad, mom, brother and me went into this ride, and we wanted to sit in a vehicle together. The vehicles are officially for max 3 persons (i guess) but we tried it. I was on the side, but it was really, really tight. My legs where stuck and i could barely move. But you know, that's fine. Until there comes a part where the vehicle moves op and tilts. The weight of 3 persons pushes on me, And it really hurts. Good thing that this is a short lift, because i would be a pancake otherwise! Afterwards we can still laugh about it, of course, and we had a great day. I am a huge fan of this ride and the Efteling. So if you've read this whole comment: thank you and have a nice day!
@Fluffy To Fit I really need to watch The Neverending Story again! Haven't seen it in forever. Watching this video and the latest season of Stranger Things made me wanna watch that movie again. 😁
This ride soundtrack is so beautiful/ fun with a overall soothing ambiance. As a Disneyland, Anaheim fan I can say this is comparable if not better then some of there dark rides.
That area might look a bit shabby on purpose, to contrast the dream world within. On other rides, the builders pay a lot of attention to the entrance, the vehicles and even the waiting line, so that you slowly get drawn into a story. This ride is different. You get into an ordinary ski lift in an ordinary loading area, and a few seconds later you "wake up" in a fairy kingdom.
Gorgeous scenery and dreamlike vistas. They could really benefit from a lighting change for the fairies. They have built some artistically supreme creations.
I stilllove it. Its the best and beautifullest themed ride i ever seen and rode. I hope they will never demolish that masterpiece of work. I already was really sad as i seen what they did in Epcot with imagination cause that also was such a beautifull Masterpiece.
Fond memories of a visit with the Rollercoaster Fan Club of GB in the 90s I nearly walked away from as was at a low point in my life...glad I stuck it out!
This is beautiful! If I was at this park I'd ride this often! It's like It's a Small World with better music and characters and such a relaxing atmosphere!
Whoa...this is a Dream Flight. Absolutely beautiful!! Though I loved Disney's Dream Flight back in the day, this absolutely deserves the title! I don't know why, but I am especially partial to ceiling track rides. Thank you for filming this beautiful piece of art!
Lovely..... like being in the movie of dark crystal or lybrthans what's that 80s singer David Bowie or never ending story you are in the magical fantasy movie.
It is, I ride this at least once a week and it never gets boring. I even fell asleep once cause of the calm music and the ambient sounds/lighting, we went 7 times a row😌

Efteling has a lot of dark rides! There's this one, Fata Morgana, Symbolica, Carnaval Festival (whichis geared more towards kids and is like an "It's a Small World" like ride and then there is a rollercoaster in the dark as well.

From what I've seen online, Efteling is the only non-Disney theme park I'd be excited to visit.
Check out Phantasialand as well
I live in the Netherlands and i gave been in the Efteling multiple times. The baron 1898 is also a great dive coaster!
Efteling,Europa park and phantasialand . I preferr over Disney paris anytime
@@jecopsz not sure if phantasialand should be included in that line-up
@@marc44444 i get why u say that .
but for me personally I do preferr phantasialand over disney paris .
But thats just personally
So hauntingly beautiful it gives me Labyrinth/ The Dark Crystal vibes
Yeet Skeet OMG SAME!! Those movies are my fave 😔😔
Kwasa my fave too
OMG ALMOST EVERYONE FORGOT THOSE MOVIES!! There my favorites too! Are you exited for the new Age of resistance series?
I can’t forget the scene in Labyrinth where Bowie is walking with upside down stairs and right side up stairs!
TheSOUNDMAN513 i love that scene. And it’s such a good song.
The level of detail in this ride never fails to amaze me

I'm watching this on a 110" screen, and don't see a bunch of dust. Actually, this looks damn impressive.
Efteling is an international treasure
妖精やドワーフたちの動きや装飾、素晴らしい！！
水との融合も最高！！！
I have been on this ride like 20 times, it never gets old. I live in the Netherlands and the Efteling is amazing. My favorite scene is the planet one.
Getting a strong "Dark Crystal" vibe from this ride

Also how did you get on your knee.

Oh
Efteling is a lot like what Disneyland used to be in the 60s when there were a lot of dark rides that were not tied to any intellectual property
Jaime Quiroz I mean it is kinda like Peter Pan’s Flight
Tedious Totoro yeah it looks really cool
Efteling was there before disney was.

I'm of Dutch heritage, and I went here as a kid. I remember it vividly but forgot the name. Thanks so much for the memories.
That space shoot, zipping through the stars looks beautiful!
I've ridden it and it actually makes me space out haha, like it's really really effective
Ive been here! This ride, and all of Eftellings dark rides honestly, are so friggin beautiful. I could have lived there. 🧚♀️🦋🐛🌹🦄🍄🌼

@@madebykemo yes
I have added some scents in some rides myself... lol... 🌀
It’s innumerably better in person.
This is one of the coolest rides I’ve ever seen
this ride probably feels like your childhood story picture books coming to life. If only I could be a child again to experience this :,)
Oh, this makes me want to ride this very much. Great ride
This may just be the most stunningly gorgeous theming on any ride I've ever seen.
This was absolutely beautiful. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this ride.
That has to be the best foliage of any dark ride ever.

It's like a hybrid of The Dark Crystal, Legend, and The Neverending Story.

@Fluffy To Fit You should! It's SO good!
That is exactly why I did not enjoy this.
The dark crystal ride 🤔.................... now that’s a ride I would love to go on
Perfect. Ik wou dat het langer was...
De muziek, de thematiek, alles rijmt, en het voelt alsof het nooit af was
Reminds of the Horizons Ride back at Epcot Dang I miss that ride 😢
This ride looks absolutely beautiful. Love da music
