Intanmin keeps delivering. I was blown away! And surprised by how many props and elements from Spookslot they incorporated in the new ride. It is very much a love letter to its previous incarnation.

The ride system itself was thought up by Efteling. They went to multiple manufacturers to see who was willing to develop it, landing on Intamin willing to do it.

De Efteling is all about story telling. The ‘ride system ‘ is secondary. And the waiting line is also part of the story. You don’t ‘wait’ and then ‘go on a ride’. You immerse yourself in a story where in the end you Dance with the Dead.

The story is about the Music competition that was held in the abbey back in the day. This is where conductor Joseph Charlatan performed the Danse Macabre with his orchestra. They vanished after the performance, prompting the abbey to be abandoned and left to decay. They didn't actually vanish though, they where killed and cursed by the "Unnameable", a shapeshifting monster mostly disguising itself as a black kitten. The entire first part of the ride (that you didnt film) was the monster walking around your bench in the total darkness, the creepiest and the part of the ride in my opinion

I did film it, I just cut it out as it was too dark to make anything out 😊

You have to do the ride again, looks like the lights failed working, it's way to dark then normal.

I don't know why I wanna learn of this ride, it looks boring AF. You spin in a single room with lights going off and on and music.. it sounds like a ride I loved as a very little kid with my family at the beach. A Scrambler shooting lazer lights in the dark with loud club thumping music. Must be nostalgia.. this seems no more advanced than that ride. 😂👌

It's pretty much an experience. It isn't a thrill ride (and was never sold as one), it is a family ride with a spooky/scary theme. And they succeeded quite well with it. There are parts of the ride where it really does spin quite a bit and dishes out quite a bit of G-forces, but that doesn't last that long - Efteling isn't about the thrill. But with the theme, the music, the ride.. it works great. It really does.
