Not sure if all is as is. But one thing to consider is that before entering the only thing that makes you can't go is your size. So, no age limit. Which, if there would be a dead drop in a basement then I think that an age limit would be more appropriate. It's clearly a family ride. So they go dark but not insanely so.

I love that smell too! Such a classic spooky theme park smell. Also I went on Danse Macabre earlier in the month and it is a top tier attraction. It's so Efteling and I love Efteling.

I heard that the basement is not ready yet indeed, but the drop won't be extreme I think.

That black kitten is actually the shapeshifting monster that killed the orchestra. That is why the stuffed cat head is a monster on the other side, because that cat is the monster.

The creepy aesthetic of the queue area really gears you up for the actual ride itself. They did a great job on this

The idea of this ride system with this music is that you get the feeling that you are dancing on the music. That's what the designer said. The conductor that you see in the show is made from a sketch that the designer of the Spookslot ( Ton van de Ven ) made but never got to use in the Spookslot in 1978. He wanted to but the budget was not high enough and and that time they couldn't do what they can do now ofcourse. This designer took that sketch and used it for Danse Macabre. Former designer and creative director Ton van de Ven sketched a ghostly conductor as a possible later addition for the exciting attraction Spookslot (1978). A creepy ghost with a long beard, in a robe with fluttering sleeves, holding a baton in his right hand, a so-called conductor's baton. Inspiration Designer Jeroen Verheij used this sketch as inspiration for the conductor in the new Efteling attraction Danse Macabre. “With the melody of the Danse Macabre as a common thread, it quickly became clear to me that the conductor had to play a prominent role in the new attraction. I am convinced that with the realization of Ton's sketch we will pay a wonderful tribute to the Spookslot and its designer.” And the moving pictures are actually of a famous Dutch operah singer and the piano player is the Designer of Danse Macabre. And there is a drop. At the end you go up and it gets dark. The lighting comes and you drop down. That's the drop.

3:39 that's not the graveyard, that's the herb garden.

27:44 You can pull this stuffed animal inside out and the head of the sweet little kitten Florian turns into the monstrous head of the Unnameable.

The path you see here 7:57 is the old Heksenpad, ( the witches' path, ) this used to be a walking path that used to end at the Spookslot, unfortunately you can no longer come here due to the realization of Dance Macabre. but if you watch the walk-through video of the Spookslot attraction on the Efteling KZbin channel, you can still see this path and it was always a nice, quiet place to walk.

Ya'll have some great coaster content! Glad to see this super cool attraction in action.

DANCE macabre is the follow up of " het spookslot" ( for more then 40 years in the efteling. The story tells about an orchestre that disapeard in 1876 during a contest where the played dance macabre ( dance of the dead) it is a existing piece of music by a french composer. THE BLACK CAT is the haunted spirit who wants you to die, but when you survive the dance, you may leave again

I visited yesterday! Experienced the Dance Macabre twice. Yes it is still a prototype. They're also still finetuning the rotating program. Right now you can't see everything from every seat like the cat peeking out of the instruments or the "basement catacombs" with the coffin. The waterfountain in the que has a jumpscare that you missed as it spays water in your face if come to close. Also, if you stroke the instruments on the pictures behind the broken glass, you hear the instrument play.

I think the rumours about dropping into the basement came from the passholder previews when the ride was apparently not finshed yet, but i think they just changed the position of some animatronics. We're definitely not going to drop into the basement though, since the ride physically isn't capable of doing that because of the hydraulic system the disk is standing would have to lower in its enirety (i think)

I'm curious know how special needs people feel about this ride with everything going on?

As a subsribtion holder. I cannot wait until the attraction is not seen as "the new attraction" but as one of the amazing attractions of efteling. Being there for a day and riding danse macabre multiple times seems like paradise.

Love the thematic outfit!

This is the story told in the cemetery. "Greetings, brave mortal, 6:27 Here in the ancient Huyver forest you find yourself among the sleeping ruins of the Abbey of Capelle van Kaatsheuvel. Long, long ago, on Friday the 13th of the year 1876, disappeared here during an international music competition the full orchestra of the idiosyncratic conductor Joseph Charlatan. After a masterful performance of the musical piece Danse Macabre, the musicians were ruthlessly engulfed by the Unnameable. Evil, which still haunts this area today and manifests itself as a monstrous, cat-like creature. The Unnameable has sealed the fate of the musicians. Cursed and damned forever, the conductor and his orchestra will play the Danse Macabre in the abbey chapel until the end of time. Be on your guard, mortals. And above all, avoid any contact with a seemingly cute black kitten. The Unnameable is everywhere. And nothing here is what it seems!"

The ride is to short don't you think?

Hi, can you really enjoy a ride when you over analyse the experience? ;-)

We are from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 what is the perfect time to go to the theme park in England ( Alton towers)

Have you had a chance to ride the new Danse Macabre yet? Let us know your thoughts down below! And if you haven't had a chance to go yet, what are you most excited for? Unfortunately, we were never able to experience the classic Spookslot that we have heard so many wonderful things about so we won't recognize the nods to it in the new ride, but we would love to hear all about that as well!

Such a shame people talked a lot on this ride…

„We gonna look for a bathroom“ while standing 10m away from one is kinda funny (of course you never were there before and didn’t know 😂)

Why do you always end up on rough trains on the left side on Voltron? Like you always end up on the left, that's well known the worst spot, wtf

Omg I want the long neck figure haha

@41:40: Sprookjesbos, pronounced using English words: Sproke-yes-boss.

You are prettier than in older videos, you look more natural with less makeup.

I love Gondoletta white boats.. so calm and relaxed. And feed the ducks a crust of my sandwich.

S-proke-yes-boss

Hiya ! Are you guys living next to the park ?what day was it filmed?i was on 22nd and 23rd of July at the park

What I particularly like about De Efteling is the beautiful music during the rides, especially those composed by Ruud Bos (Villa Volta, Droomvlucht, Fata Morgana and Vogelrok).

Another great video, thanks👍 we love Castello di Medici, especially our kids 👫😅

I once spent an hour trapped in that little claustrophobic bit right before you reach the port. It was like 35 degrees Celcius out. I still can't hear that theme song without triggering some mild PTSD.

Thanks for the vid! How much did the crowds spoil the day? I’m going first time tomorrow and it’s the only thing I’m worried about! Thanks 😊

Hey guys ! Just wanted to give tips for a better Disneyland Paris experience : 1) You are allowed to bring any sort of food there ; restaurants are quite expensive there, so it can help. 2) You won't be able to visit the whole park in a single day, so maybe consider buying a two-days ticket ! 3) Please, come to Disneyland Paris at 9:30 am (the oppening) to fully enjoy your day there ! 4) Consider visiting Disney Studio too ! I know people are not really fond of it, but it's actually a more "mature" theme park with some really cool rides ! 5) And last, but not least, do not come to the park during national public holidays nor summer ! It will be crowded and you'll wait hours for rides... The best period to do it is probably november / start of december, especially because of the christmas decor ! That's it guys, hope that'll help some of you !

Thanks for joining us for a summer visit to Europa Park! Have you checked out the newly refurbished/rethemed Geisterschloss? Check out our first look at Castello dei Midici here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZrKaHd6lNCkoasfeature=shared

Actually you can take your own food and lunches with you as longs as it's nt complete coolboxes. But taking snacks and sandwiches and drinks if you would want to is absolutely fine.

I stumbled upon your channel looking for nigloland content and I do like the fact you are calm and collected when reviewing and all, it's refreshing !

Hey! That's me at Djengu river🥰

Hi! I'm one of the people that was in the boat with you in Djengu! Great vlog and it's fun to see myself in the vlog! 🥰

Puppet guy troll is called Djinn! They do a meet & greet in the morning with that guy too!

Thanks for the coverage :) I noticed a few paintings on the ride resemble some of the figures from previous years. As for pronounciation, I have no idea about Italian but I do know it'd sound like "Casteyo" in Spanish 😂 Maybe it's similar in Italian 👻

We thoroughly enjoyed getting to ride Castello Dei Medici - formerly Geisterschloss - and bring you some footage of the experience. What did you think of the changes? Were you among the first souls to ride this re-imagined, ghoulish ghost train? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments!

Sad fact about the hotel: a few of its towers. And an open walkway through the center of it into the park have been removed after the drama with the building company.

The cannon outside Space Mountain is related to the original theme of the ride, based on Verne’s book “From Earth to The Moon”. And, just for the record, I’m a Disney purist, too.

Disneyland Paris is a gem in design. They reinvented the classic Magic Kingdom in a unique way. We loved it since our first visit there. 🤩

👏👏👏 for the great B-roll

Instead of guessing the Dutch names you can just ask some Dutch people how to pronounce it🤷‍♂️ we don't bite😂

The big guy at Fata Morgana is a Djinn; a creature from Arabian culture.

Thanks for sharing this Hotel room tour
