Efteling Vlog June 2016 Part 1 Of 2

[@angelbaby6268]

I’m a hardcore Europa Fan but Efteling has a place in my heart that will never be removed. As much as I love Europa nothing can be compared to Efteling. Nothing.

[@bluetomato2184]

mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyybeeeeeeeeeee phantasialand??

[@Nielovitsch]

A very nice detail in Villa Volta is one of the paintings standing next to Hugo the animatronic: they painted Ton van de Ven on it to honour him. He created Droomvlucht, Fata Morgana, Vogelrok, Villa Volta, Spookslot and half of the fairytales in the enchanted forest.

[@abelpoint7487]

Niels Razenberg yeah also some voices in the fairytale forrest did he speak in

[@jorgearnoldson3107]

I visited Efteling about a month ago as part of a short cruise onboard the brand-new Harmony of the Seas, and I absolutely ENJOYED the park!

[@palantir135]

Great vlog. I visit the Efteling since 1968. A lot has changed in all these years. It's getting better every year

[@daanher]

Thanks guy! I just came from the Efteling today and my legs are tired.. Nothing better than a glass of red wine, watching your vlog!!!

[@MarioSchuurmans]

you often speak about the rides being short or a bit low on g-force/thrill but that's because Efteling is a family park first. It doesn't want teenagers hanging around and coming in for the thrill rides. It wants more family's. The saying goes that you go three times to the Efteling. Once as a child, once with your fianceé and again as grandparents.

[@leakedtunesdutchdrill6219]

Ik begrijp Het😂

[@mooieliedjesnl]

I really like your enthusiast and open-minded style of reviewing. Keep up the good work!

[@joep9107]

thank you Theme Park Worldwide. you just made my day. I just love the Efteling it's an amazing theme park. it's just great watching you enjoy it. you are a great vlogger. please keep up the good work! and good luck with your next theme parks.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much

[@dennis-8baan98]

Vogelrok lost a lot of lasers in the past. When it opened in 1998 there was a different queue with a complete laser show.

[@themeparkvids7546]

They're spectulating to add a VR range.

[@damien9760]

+Themeparkvids No, Efteling will never do that

[@themeparkvids7546]

+Damien Nijssen your working at Efteling?

[@dennis-8baan98]

First of all what does a year have to do with autism. Secondly if you carefully looked at the video and my comment you would have seen that, that is exactly my point. It is a long time ago.

[@spacegarnaal]

I remember that, it was too expensive though so they removed all of it and altered the lines a bit

[@charlienewbold9809]

I loved this vlog - not only did it show off this park tremendously, but it did something much more. This is the only video I've seen that encapsulates the feeling of what it's like to visit a new theme park in the summer. I know it's not new for you shawn but this really got me excited. There's something special about seeing lots about a park you know nothing about - and in such nice weather. Everyone seemed so happy. This is a video that really made me want to visit a theme park - this is why I love them!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for the kind comments!

[@olibratley]

I sent in my Baron mug for merch paradise last year and you said you didn't have it because it wasn't yet available. You got it in this vlog and I felt like a proud mother 😂

[@rocren6246]

I just came back from Efteling a week ago. It was an amazing theme park that I am definitely gonna visit again!

[@EdwinvandenAkker]

What I really love about the Efteling, is that they take theming very seriously. Most of the things are made and designed in-house. Even the roof tiles of the new Symbolica ride are custom made. I have been there many times. And every time they succeed to amaze me.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's a beautiful park!

[@MoonaLoona]

The tree in carnival festival is there because efteling didnt want to remove it because it is kinda old

[@TTHBLOX_]

just proves again that nature comes first. when they build Vliegende Hollander, they moved an 100 year old oak 10 meters away

[@frontrowviews]

The Efteling is placed in a forest, and when the Efteling opened as an official theme park the said it was there no. 1 priority to keep all nature

[@NOSYNCMUSIC]

48:25 The queue itself is very bare .. I think that's why they are there grow a tree. That tree is something to fill the queue. I live about 25 kilometers from the Efteling road, so I know the whole park out of my head, as well as a reasonable history of the Efteling.

[@crashcoaster3852]

Baron Ackanackanickanack

[@pyrolyzer2686]

baron achtien achtenegentig

[@ChocoKnetters]

+anonymous Hé can't talk Dutch i think.

[@crashcoaster3852]

Too right I can't...

[@randoman1337]

en jij kan geen engels zo te zien

[@jannekevanrooij9859]

baron 1898

[@PendelSteven]

28:26 Of course the scale is amazing. In case you don't know: A ravelin is a triangular fortification or detached outwork, located in front of the innerworks of a fortress (the curtain walls and bastions). Originally called a demi-lune, after the lunette, the ravelin is placed outside a castle and opposite a fortification curtain. If such a thing is not detached, it is known as a bastion.

[@PendelSteven]

Oh. Why named Raveleijn (and modeled after it)? The first ravelins were built of brick, but later, during the sixteenth century in the Netherlands. More specificly in the 16th century, near the border with Spain. That border is now +- with Belgium.

[@JVGmidi]

Everything about this park is great. The food in the hotel is very good.

[@dutcherrct3]

You know, I met your channel on that vlog. The Baron akenakenekenen in particular. Glad to see you back in the Efteling :)

[@dutcherrct3]

Also, even for Dutch people, the pre-shows could last a bit long. I actually was in the second pre-show once and was asked by someone if she could leave somehow because all the talking didn't interest her. So yeah....

[@richardjacobs]

Villa Volta has a very good story, it's sad that it's only in Dutch.. Great vlog by the way! I really enjoyed it!

[@ItsMidasGames]

Klopt helemaal :/

[@abelpoint7487]

Richard Jacobs i can translate the second show for you if you want

[@richardjacobs]

Haha thanks! But i'm Dutch, so I already know the story!

[@MeTheMayo]

Outside near the entrance you could read the story in English!

[@BroeXAudiovisueel]

The Efteling started as a nature park in the early days (50s) nowadays they are still strictly with their natural environment. That's why the tree is in the queue of carnival festival. I don't know if it's grammatically correct what I'm saying, but you've got the idea :p

[@koekeritisVideos]

The lasers in vogelrok were actually there from the beginning, not just that the queue used to go through a laser show, only they closed down not much later, because they had overestimated the size that the queue needed to be. There's still an empty room in the building where it used to be, but all of the laser effects have of course been taken out.

[@mario64remix]

Lasers inside the ride were added in '99 actually. Budget didn't allow for it in opening-year.

[@reecewestbrook771]

Love these videos, not just from the entertainment or the ride footage, but for the general experience of these fabulous parks. I've only ever been to chessington and Thorpe park, so it helps me decide where to go next. I'm looking forward to going on holiday Alton towers this summer though

[@maritawesselink2826]

Efteling, the best park in the world with Europa-Park. Efteling and Europa-Park just has an unique atmosphere that you find in any other park.

[@marisejanssen3420]

So nice to hear how people who are not from The Netherlands like the Efteling so much! I love the Efteling! Going 4/5 times in a year

[@rocren6246]

I discovered a very exciting way of taking the Double-track wooden racer by sitting at the end and keep looking behind:)

[@bswift1991]

Live in the UK and been to Efteling twice, it's such a good theme park! Theming on par with what you'd expect at disney with some absolutely brilliant rides. Went on Villa Volta there long before Hex had opened at Alton Towers, blew my mind!

[@rodakscreens]

I'm so glad you guys went back to Efteling. I've been planning on going for a couple years now and I'm getting really excited to see this park for myself

[@explodedgames984]

you should go to the park i live in the city close to it so i went there a lot have a nice day at efteling!

[@Oobe]

A Frikandel is definitely not a beef sausage LOL. It's a mixture of minced meat. Contains chicken, pork, horse and beef.

[@NinoMit87]

Don't tell people from England there is Horse meat in it. All British people I have met freak out by the idea of eating horse. :P

[@coolchick7197]

The music in the carnival ride sounds like something from wallace and gromit

[@mario64remix]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

[@coastertitan1583]

I've been there yesterday! It was so amazing! Baron 1898 was so epic, it was a great day!

[@PFFPtv]

You can tell Chessington took massive inspiration from Carnival Festival for the Bubbleworks, what a charming little ride.

[@zoelee4687]

This looks like my kind of park, definitely need to get myself out here :) Loved all your vlogs on this trip :)

[@ItsMidasGames]

You defenitely need to go to it! It's an amazing park :)) (sorry for bad English) the theming of the park is just... amazing

[@ItsMidasGames]

+RandomGamer Thank you! :D

[@joesavva]

Another great vlog. Loving this Europe trip!!!

[@The_Potionist]

the only good thing about being Dutch is going to the Efteling every year :)

[@ItsMidasGames]

Idd xD

[@gyqz]

Nope...the only good thing about being Dutch is going to Efteling 4 times a year :-) The rest of the year can suck my balls!

[@ChocoKnetters]

Yes it is. next week we are ging.

[@sn3akyshad0w31]

Yeah I go every year to the efteling 👍👍👍👍

[@gijs.22]

Klopt helemaal

[@ipdvb4853]

Still not sure if I'd be happy with a Villa Volta refurbishment. The language barrier is a pain for sure (the story makes the ride so much more memorable), and some nice refurbishment with some projection mapping in the pre-ride and ride sections could make the concept a lot more effective, but on the other hand, it's such a classic, maybe it should stay the way it is.. What do you guys think?

[@ajjkohl]

25:00 : Python has the exact lay-out of Magic Mountain in Gardaland (bit of a late respons). Actually saw you guys walking in the Fairy Tale Forest, but didn't know what to say... ;)

[@jochemzoetbrood7236]

go here again in the winter the winter efteling is amazing

[@cameronchenderson724]

7:23 if you like excellent B&M dive coasters, come to busch gardens tampa bay and ride sheikra!!!! its one of the best dive coasters I've experienced!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We already have done and love it! Check out our many vlogs from the park here on KZbin

[@HomeMadeFanVideos]

I love this vlog so much, it really gives a good feel of the park and your reviews are super on-point!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, make sure you check out our vlogs playlist for many more

[@nickmiller398]

Just marathoned the entire Euro tour, ive seen them all before many times however never marathoned before.

[@HD4amian]

1:17:40 Good that he brings that up because that's the whole point that they bought an intamin bob instead of a Mack one. When Lex Lemmens, one of the guys of Efteling technical service went to an expo looking at a model of Mack's Bobsleds he told Frans Mack ''Well you could just put them on rails'', he was very mad at him for saying that.

[@Nloveru]

I don't think you did something 'wrong' on your first visit. As a person who knows everything there is to know about Efteling, I really enjoyed your vlog about your first visit as someone who knew nothing about the park. It really gave your vlog a great feel of enjoyment, discovery and experiencing. I've watched that vlog 4 times already and it always gives me a very calm and pleasant feeling.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much, make sure you check out our other videos from the park

[@dealwiththeseal9166]

Amazing! Efteling is a great park and it's home to one of my favourite coasters: Baron 1898!

[@dennisdennis141]

greetz from the Netherlands ;) love this park !

[@felipezam]

Must say that fairy dark ride at 36:00 has an ET vibe with the extreme set decor hahaha

[@xbyemily]

Symbolica is opening on July 1. I cannot wait to go on it on the 24th!

[@giggs112008]

Absolutely great VidoeBlog....so much detail and great descriptions and explanations by you and your mates. Girlfriend and I are heading down to Amsterdam next Friday and definitely will hit up Efteling....perhaps even go twice lol...can't freaking wait.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@MarcusTheFunnell]

Great video Shawn, its strange I was there 02/06, it seemed to be alot quieter than when you went with the only real queues being Baron, the flying duchman and Python. I wonder why it was busier when you went?

[@MeTheMayo]

Fun fact; you can actually find a classic portait of the designer (Ton van de Ven) of the Villa Volta ride (and many other rides) on the shelf near Hugo's treasure. Im not sure if its still there, because Ton unfortunately past away in 2015.

[@gyqz]

Fecking thumbs up from a real life Efteling frenzyfreak! I call Efteling my second home and I think you summed it up perfectly when you said the park isn't about the rides, but about the overall enjoyment of the park with it's eye for details. Love you guys and you got one extra subscriber :-) Thanks a mill for this awesome vid!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@ThemeParkNetYT]

Hey Shawn! I really think you would like the Efteling more if you knew more about the history of the park. I think that will clear up some of the misunderstandings that happen a lot. You know, Efteling didn't really focus that much on visitors from other countries since a few years ago. I guess that's why it's not that clear for you all the time. But I have to say you already know a lot of important things! I'd love to tell you more about the place though. The Efteling has a very rich history, just like Walt's original Magic kingdom for example. Is there an other trip planned to the Efteling for you?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for the feedback! We have a trip planned for September

[@CatoGeeftLes]

This september? That's great! Are you doing Symbolica during that trip? I'm very curious what you're thinking of this new ride!

[@coensmeets]

Just a fact that will blown your mind: the Efteling puts 10 millions euro in fixing rides and making them beautiful as they should be!

[@coensmeets]

Each year.

[@joepvanmeel7898]

+coen smeets Looopings lezer hier?! XD

[@AlertF16]

Been waiting for this review for a while, I'm sure it's worth the wait! ;)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We hope you enjoy!

[@AlertF16]

***** I sure did, Keep up the good work lads! :)

[@HalfBewolktBestondAl]

Martin's pronunciation of achttienachtennegentig is definitely superior!

[@kelmes9946]

Fun fact: Those white boats that went very slowly where actually a test for the Fata Morgana, but they just decided to keep it there

[@soltoo6801]

no that is not true! the efteling actually would such a ride for years(i heard that in a interview with lex lenmens-the technicall men- from efteling)

[@kelmes9946]

+T.F Studio sorry ik versta je engels niet, maar ik dacht dat dat wel goed was.

[@Floemp]

[@sandraweilbrenner67]

have you been to 6 flags valencia california. try the twisted colossus hybrid the blue track is more banking the green track loops upside down over the blue track

[@The_Potionist]

I went to the Efteling today with my girlfriend and saw Raveleijn for the first time, I feel stupid for skipping that show the past years because that was amazing!!!

[@stanleygarthwait795]

Anybody from The Netherlands, I am curious. I used to go to the Efteling in the mid-80s, and I swear that bird in front of Vogel Rock was there at that time. Was that something else before the roller coaster was built or is my memory not what I thought?

[@theexplodingchicken8340]

You're probably not remembering it right. The exit of Carnaval Festival used to be were the entrance of Vogel Rok is and they only placed the bird when the ride opened in 1998.

[@thommanner02]

you have to come to the Efteling in july or august on a saturday because then the park is open from 10:00 until 00:00

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We visited last summer for the late nights, was awesome!

[@mario64remix]

This might be the longest Efteling vlog on KZbin, tons of fun to watch! Also, Carnaval Festival's queue used to be at where Vogel Rok is now. Efteling doesn't like cutting trees, so they let it stay in the new waiting line.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching!

[@fabulousk9014]

For me colossus is stil the best rollercoaster ive ever riden, Woodan is good for theming and its ofcourse really long and smooth, but the hights and air time colossus is just a more epic experience!

[@cosmicwitchclarith]

I heard the crew who was in charge of the theming for Flying Dutchman was experianced with movie making. They wanted to give the ride a cinematic feel to it and I think they nailed it! Also!!! The lady who sings in the queue about the captain leaving her and being cursed is actually the singer of Nightwish!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely!

[@Roo0xanne]

Fun fact: all the props that are used in the Baron are either actual (used) tools or casts of tools. The uniforms on the ceiling are placed so high because real miners (sp?) would hang their uniform on a chain to safe space.

[@Sorcerer99]

FANTASTIC vlog! Enjoyed watching it. Great job!

[@fdoott2092]

hey then did you never film the beginning where you can have some great shots of the BOB.

[@1adjan1]

The theming at Joris & the dragon is supposed to be a swamp. There where the story of J&TD goes that Joris went to the dragon's swamp to kill the dragon. Planning to come to Norways Tusenfryd?

[@SvenvanOijen]

A Frikandel actually isn't a beef sausage. It's a minced beef, chicken, pork and horsemeat which is shaped like a sausage but is produced like a hamburger. It's basically leftover breadcrumb-meat mixture fried in vegetable oil.

[@adamlenartowicz7323]

Have you been to the poffertje cafe near the traditional carousels

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Yes we did once, very beautiful!

[@Travelmatt23]

Efteling is a wonderful park, and this video definitely reminded me of how amazing that place is. It's a shame Aquanura was closed when you went, but then again it needs TLC to be good. Can't wait for Symbolica either.

[@iandijkmans43]

Hello, I'm Dutch, And the Efteling is realy cool. The vlog is also realy cool and realy good. You are now one of my favourite KZbinrs! Thx Mate💪

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we look forward to visiting again soon!

[@jssapocalyptic422]

Speaking of Dark Rides, you should do a Top 10 Dark Rides (like your coaster one) and it would be interesting to see how it changes over the next few years with Symbolica and other dark rides coming out. I'm really wondering how the castles will compare (Symbolica vs. Forbidden Journey) and to see the different experiences. With all the new dark rides coming out, I'm not sure how much longer Forbidden Journey & Transformers will remain at the top of the dark rides. Its all depending on whether these parks can do them right!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

This is something we are planning to do later this year!

[@SvenvanOijen]

All the effects on Vogel Rok have been there since 1998. They even removed a few from the que line.

[@Thrillingexplorer]

1:16:00 you must do Bob ones when it rains because you swing then much more

[@PendelSteven]

51:21 You can read "Groeten aan de buren" on that sign. Meaning: "Greetings to the neighbours". 51:30 You can read "Au revoir" first and then "Tot Ziens", both meaning "Goodbye", but lit. "until we 'll see eachother again". But I also remarked to others that "Aloha" means... "Hello". Huh?!?

[@PendelSteven]

Watching this 4½ years later. Nice to hear that you came there for Baron 1898, but stayed because of the whole park. First comment here, but... Probably not the only one. 3:38 U zijt gewaarschuwd. late 19th century Brabandic Dutch (duh: 1898) for: You have been warned. (Still proper Dutch in Belgium though)

[@chrismayocomedy]

New drinking game. Take a drink every time Shawn says "I mean" and "y'know"

[@oliviageddes1759]

Or "theme park worldwide on KZbin check it out" 😂

[@fdoott2092]

did you do pandadroom? cause on both vlogs you filmed the exit witch is also part of the ride but never the ride itself. it is a 4d movie with a few suprises at the end.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We did indeed

[@janettecooper3631]

Shawn you are the best ....so much fun to watch

[@MichelleInyeshua]

hi shaun. how do u get all the money to travel around to all theme parks in the world? especially now ,when europe so expensive is. can you try to take a gopro cam for some of the rides?

[@raymond8604]

No please don't do a gopro

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I work full time to fund my hobby! We film on rides at parks that allow us to

[@MichelleInyeshua]

+Theme Park Worldwide ok . shaun. roller coasters are really your passion. im mainly in thorpe park weekends. im planning to visit portaventura soon. enjoy your evening.xx

[@KaasBaas10007]

Im excited to say that today is the day i can enjoy once again the best theme park in the Netherlands, and its monday so that would mean its going to be very quiet! Awesome vid as always Shawn! :D

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a great time, thanks for watching!

[@KaasBaas10007]

Theme Park Worldwide thanks! We had alot of fun, and as expected it was very quiet. I've ridden the Baron 9 times that day :D

[@Floemp]

The thing about TotNH is that it was amazing themed when it had a Space theme, but then it got rethemed to something jungle.

[@abelpoint7487]

i am dutch this is my home park i got one tip: if you go to ride Geogre and the dragon try to let the seatbelt i little more open than the airtime is crazy nice vid btw

[@abelpoint7487]

And maybe i could translate te second show of villa volta 😊

[@roderickwanjon]

When are you going to the Efteling in 2017? In wich month?

[@rechtebanana]

They are going in September

[@lieselotb4857]

I love the Efteling it's the best theme park a I have ever been tooo!!! I laughed so hard when he went to the Joris and the draak and JJJoris

[@Jeronidemus]

I don't understand why the Efteling doesn't add screens with english text in Villa Volta just like they did with the Baron. It's not difficult to implement that right?

[@Kalfje33]

You walked just next to a hidden gem at 24:30, that was placed just a few days before you were there :( What you missed was a zoötrope )

[@jeroenvet1034]

#loopings

[@RidesSlides]

I'm so happy I visit this park every month :D, i recommend you the 'Negen Pleinen Festijn', its a festival in the Efteling with much entertainment, special food, exclusive Aquanura shows and the park is open till 00:00 :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we visited the park last year for this event and loved it!

[@VillasByrne]

would u do a top 10 Coasters that u have ridden? that would bedste Cool!!

[@jayvears-king7142]

He did do one

[@VillasByrne]

+Jay Vears-king how old is that?

[@jayvears-king7142]

+EuropeCoasters couple of months ago maybe?

[@VillasByrne]

+Jay Vears-king oh i thoug it just was in the world. i did not know it was coasters he have ridden

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We have one on the channel from earlier this year

[@tomvandenbiggelaar]

The big thing with 'VogelRock' is, when you have a quiet day out there, you can just walk the shortened queue line again and ride it again. Ive repeated this proces 7 times in a row xD

[@QDude24]

Tom van den Biggelaar *Vogel Rok

[@sannevanderkevie]

47:24 ''Very fast.'' I know I lost my lenses 'cause of its speed..

[@caden-brown]

A great park to end on!

[@kmtradingkm]

these theme parks are so good.

[@danielsheldrake]

I went early Nov 2015 and its one of the best parks ive been to so much theming.

[@Panzerairlines]

Python currently gets a big overhaul, parts of the track will be removed/refurbished. So it wont go for a long time :). Python kick started how the Efteling is now.

[@0naamloos0]

25:00 No... Not even close, python at bushgardens didnt have any loops 40:00 Hugo had a bit of a brain fart there

[@olliebeadle2909]

Um, Python at Busch gardens Tampa did have loops

[@simonpennybernard-smith9744]

Yeah, python at busch gdns was a very simple corkscrew, off the lift, into the drop, straight into the inversions and pretty much straight round into the brakes. might have had a simple helix before the brakes.

[@0naamloos0]

Ollie Beadle 2 corkscrews yes, but no vertical loopings.

[@georgegriffing6593]

omg im shure he ment that

[@sandraweilbrenner67]

the whole park is beautiful

[@erik-janmeijer2128]

are you guys going this year to the new attraction Symbolica? the most expensive attraction in Efteling ever! (Opens 1 July)

[@PendelSteven]

52:50 I was curious how they got the name Pagode, and I knew it's named after pagodas, but I think I found the one that is based upon in Vietnam: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Pillar_Pagoda That makes a lot of sense suddenly.
