There’s theme parks. Then there’s Efteling. They never take the easy route, and always do something completely different. I had no doubt this was going to be special. Watch other park wholesale copy this attraction now! Great work as always 👍🏻

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

I’m proud that my home park is on the upper echelon of theming and presentation. I may be a bit spoilt, because the Efteling’s high standards are normal to me.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Amazing park!

[@Dionysoshaman]

You and I are in agreement on this friend. As someone who's very passionate about folklore mysticism and mythology , particularly faeries/Dionysus/Romani mysticism in particular who's been studying these subjects ever since I was 7 years old, and I'm freshly 40 years as of 10/24 I'm in LOVE with the nature/philosophy of this entire park. I've been begging my family to trade multiple trips to Disney World for a visit for close to two decades now. Have you by chance had the privilege to visit the park as of yet? I really hope so, because even though we've never met before I feel like you deserve to go there friend and have yourselves a beautiful time . Unfortunately the distance from Maryland and Delaware is the sole reason that I've never been able to talk my family into a visit . In my opinion Efteling>Disney World or Hell any of the Disney parks. The only one that could give Efteling a proper run for its money is Disney SEA and still based on the subject matter of both parks, I'm gonna give the win to Efteling. One other thing before I forget, has anyone who's been to Efteling ever checked out the Enchanted Forest Park in I believe it's in Oregon or one of the of the Pacific Northwest states) I'm not saying that it's on par with Efteling at all, but it has a very similar atmosphere/mood. Its a homemade park jam packed with details for those that love immersion in their parks. I could be wrong since I've not been to either, but if you check it out, I think you'll understand what I'm talking about

[@Dionysoshaman]

Hey brother I think that I've mentioned it already in a previous video of yours, that if you should ever be back here to the US then you should run on by to Ocean City Maryland. The end of z boardwalk has 2 different parks. Jolly Rogers isn't much, but Trimpers is a whole different thing. It's historic rides are full of charm and VVonder! The aptly named Haunted House is a dark ride (I'm pretty sure that in England that you would call it a Ghost Train) Anyways the Trimpers Haunted House was built in 1964 by none other than the greatest dark ride Legend himself Bill Tracy. And it's one of the very few surviving Bill Tracy attractions left in this world (out of the something like 70-80 rides that he created, but sadly only 6-7 are left now) Trimpers Haunted House contains the Bill Tracy stunts from 3 now defunct rides. It's an absolutely amazing ride and is almost definitely the longest haunted house dark ride in the US and perhaps the longest in z world at 6 minutes long (don't quote me on that longest in z world, as I've been wrong about some stuff sometimes) If you're aware of Bill Tracy's work already I apologize to thee friend,, but I've never been able to find out if there's been any Bill Tracy rides in other countries, so I thought I'd just be safe and mention it to give some context to those unfortunate enough to be uninitiated in the ways of good sir Mr, Billiam (HA!) Tracy. Anyways brother (and sister) I write this because I digg your videos and passion for parks, so I wanted to make sure that this ride doesn't go under your radar. This ride and I have a beautiful history as it was the very 1st Haunted House that I had ever been on, but that's not the only reason I brought it up, because it's truly the best traditional Haunted House dark ride in the world. It's straight up magic dear friends plain and simple. And over the last decade this ride has seen a whole lot of TLC, with plenty of updates that have blended seamlessly the old original stunts with more modern stunts as well as having one or two scare actors that they throw in there. Pure blacklight, induced psychedelic dayglow spooky mysterious masterpiece! I'm hoping that you'll get the opportunity to check it out for yourself sometime soon in the near future! And I forgot to mention that Trimpers also has a Bill Tracy walk through fun house called Pirates Cove Fun house (one of only 2 of his fun house in existence). I literally just remembered that you might have made a visit to Waldameers Park in Pennsylvania which contains the other Pirates Cove Fun house, as well as the Wacky Shack (a Bill Tracy dark ride that like Trimpers Haunted House is a psychedelic spooky masterpiece!) Sorry for how long this message is, but I hope you know that I'm only trying to help to introduce this ride to you two. Take care out there in this crazy ass world friends. Peace

That wasn't a theme park ride - that was a work of art. My wife and I visited Efteling for the first time last year in April 2023. We came all the way from America just to experience this park, and it did not disappoint. My only regret was seeing the construction, but not getting to experience Danse Macabre yet. Guess we'll be going back.

It really is a beautiful work of art.classy,sophisticated and unique.you definitely won't be disappointed 🙂

[@viderethevaccinatorfromhol7536]

The Efteling is a memory making experience. Generation after generation. I remember visiting the spookslot as a 7 year scared boy, holding the hand of my late dad. I'm almost 52 now 😊

[@Jackthethemeparklover]

@xsm5525 totally agree!

[@maltwhiskey1424]

Efteling is some kind of a foundation, so all earnings going straight back in the park for maintenance, exploration, expansion and not to shareholders who drain liquid assets and increase ticket pricing. You could say how family businesses were runned in the good old days. If you don't have the assets it is impossible to create nowadays.

That small cat is actually the shapeshifting monster that killed the orchestra :) Also, Efteling had the idea for the ride system themselves and where looking for a manufacturer to actually build it. Intamin was the only one that dared to do it

Efteling IS the most creative themapark in the world. They are just world class in terms of storytelling

[@ageoflove1980]

I'd say together with Europapark. Both parks work together and both really doing their own thing and feature many prototypes and unique experiences. I mean, Im Dutch and Efteling is my home park but Voltron that opened this year in Europapark is just another absolute themepark gem.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Amazing

[@user-qz2ld3vt2d]

@@ageoflove1980 The older dark rides of europapark are a bit less unique and more based on disney, although in the last decades europapark is massively creative aswell. Europapark has the adventage of being Mack's testground. Which gets them stuff like arthur, voltron etc.

[@adamanonymous6885]

I just love that accessibility concept - you can queue up with your group, have a synchronised but safe experience, and then exit with your group - that's such a brilliant way of including guests who can't be flung around in the main ride... Efteling really are setting the standard for all other parks.

[@foetsie85]

Not today, have difficulty walking? just wait in line for 4 hours

[@Thatclimbingirl]

Eftelings accessibility is aimed at those with physical disabilities, primarily wheelchair users. Definitely not great for other forms of disability as rides whos queues are wheelchair accessible like Danse Macabre, don’t offer any alternative entrances for those that find queuing difficult. Other rides whos main queue isn’t wheelchair accessible requiring queuing in an alternative line for the same duration as the main queue. Definitely not accessible to people that struggle in queues or can’t stand for long periods but don’t use a wheelchair. Disney Paris or Europa park set the standard for accessibility not Efteling.

[@Thatclimbingirl]

@@foetsie85sounds about right for Efteling. They only consider wheelchair access in accessibility not other forms of disability.

I can't help but notice the plants at 5:35, They look sparce now. But in a few years the entire wall will be coverd and look even better then it does now. Like a real derelict building. Glad to see Efteling making long term aesthetic plans for Danse Macabre!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

Spookslot was actually the first attraction of its scale at Efteling. It had a huge impact on turning the park into a more full fledged theme park. Spookslot in 1978 and Python in 1981 probably were the largest contributors to shaping Efteling’s style of large (dark) rides and coasters.

[@tpilot_error404]

Don't forget fata morgana !

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

@@tpilot_error404 Definitely had a huge impact too. I do think Spookslot and Python were the big boys that really kickstarted the sense of scale the Efteling has now. But Fata Morgana, with all the in-house craftsmanship, business trips to Morocco and beautiful façade. And Fata Morgana was the biggest attraction at the time. And still, the scale is incredible. It’s a long darkride.

I was at the opening of the original spookslot. I was only little , but remember the excitiment and it was scary going in. The opening was not nearly as grand as this one. Suppose I'll have to go and see this one now.

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

@@-_YouMayFind_- Probably the most beloved ride in the park. But since it opened 15 years after Spookslot did, it didn’t have as much impact on the course the park has taken over the years.

[@neonpixiee518]

Quite possibly the best opening to a ride I’ve ever seen

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was wonderful

[@basheeremans1645]

I was sad to see spookslot go, but this seems to be a worthy replacement. So many hints to the old experience. The queue line reminds me of the monks walking through the bellows of spookslot. Simply amazing. Can’t wait to visit from the UK and bring back childhood memories. Thank you Efteling, you’ve done it again. PS the opera singer at the start reminded me of the Baron singers… ‘u bent gewaarschuwd’ you’ve been warned. Love it!!

[@ageoflove1980]

Yeah I actually singed the petition together with thousands of others to keep the original. I mean, it was unique and just a piece of themepark heritage. But it in the end, the Efteling is not a museum and a new generation needs to be wowed like I once was. And the respect they show to the the attraction it replaced couldnt be more on point so I just have to agree with you here.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Wrecker3D]

Did you notice? The pianist/organist on the bottom of the board is the rides designer (Jeroen Verheij) -he's also hidden in EPICA's music clip 'the ghost in me' as one of the monks 😅

[@Theachup]

I’m actually so sad about not being there today. We booked our visit for yesterday more than a year ago, before the announcement. I even remember 2022, when we were there only a couple days after spookslot closed. So much bad luck! We don’t go often because of the expensiveness, so maybe in a few years i’ll get to experience this too!

Hopefully you’ll be able to visit again soon!

Once again, great video Charlotte and Shawn recording this grande opening of a new (and already) iconic themed area and ride. When the Efteling announced to close Spookslot i was really unpleasant surprised and seeing it getting demolished it broke my Efteling heart. Hoped Kate Bush would have sung the opera part (as she can do it), she recorded a video there just after Spookslot opened. I think the circle would be closed when this would have happened... After 13 years she is recording music again! The Charlatans and the Efteling staff are playing good roles. They are part of the whole experience. Well done and thank you Efteling and (sub)contractors for making this possible. Looking forward for a new experience at Efteling!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@maltwhiskey1424]

The barrel organ, or street organ as some say, is called "Esmeralda" and has put up a show during the build period of this attraction. It will be placed in the section demarcated with a fence when you enter this themed area. At some point in the performance it will get cursed by the "unmentionable" and changes shape .. If you have time you should watch this show.

[@teunvriens3017]

A long time ago, on Friday the 13th in 1876, Conductor Joseph Charlatan and his orchestra performed the music: danse macabre during an international music concours in the Chapel. But after their magnificent performance they were all slaughtered by a monster called "the unnamable", wich still haunts the Chapel disguised as the little kitten. The spirits of Joseph and the orchestra were doomed to perform and when you ride "danse macabre", you get locked in the Chapel by acting efteling-workers (this is amazing), they wish you "good luck" and you get attacked by the unnamable. After that you watch another performance of Joseph Charlatan and his doomed orchestra, while you dance on the music. Also the ride is full of reused decoration/hints to the old spookslot show (the ride out of 1978, Yes the ""78 year in the story is a hint to the opening year of spookslot, replaced by danse macabre). I hope the story is clear for you now. Sincerely your Dutch Efteling fan/translator of the story

I’m generally not keen on spinning things, this doesn’t look too bad until the end. I’ll definitely try it next time we are there!

[@inshort6831]

I'm not good with spinning usually and I was fine on this ride! Enjoy :)

Incredibly jealous. I liked how many touchstones they kept from Spookslot, like the dancing railings, too. That gift shop would be the death of me, though... or at least the death of my wallet. I'm half wondering if it'd be worth trying to ship a plushie and a bat globe to the US....

Managed to see the POV last night in bed (probably where you two still are after all thr editing lol) - what an outstanding piece of magical theaming and storytelling - I'd love to visit this park one day! And well done on getting the content out so fast - as a 'tuber myself, i know how much hard work went into that! :)

Somehow I've visited The Netherlands half a dozen times and only just discovered Efteling. My relatives really dropped the ball.

It seems like ever since Disney World and Disneylands all around the world have set the standard, everyone else has been upping their game significantly in their theme parks. This attraction/presentation/ride is an incredible example!

[@helenbosworth5950]
