Efteling Vlog October 2023

[@thathairyguy6431]

Those water blasters on piranha are actually guest operated and are active in good weather. You can find the totems to do that on a path that runs from piranha’s exit to the back of Joris, great fun. And another little known fact; the dragon is actually a girl, she’s called Edna :) great vid guys

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They are indeed. Thanks for sharing!

[@EftelQuint]

Edna got its name from Mount Etna (because of the fire, ye know). Even though Edna is indeed a female name and the dragon has eggs around it, the Efteling itself refers to it as a male. That would still make sense with the eggs, because with many lizards, the male is known to guard them, instead of the female.

[@disneyanddaysout]

After our first visit this year, Efteling has become one of our favourite parks! It is so magical ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful park and one of the best out there!

[@disneyanddaysout]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide it really is! We have already booked to go back next year

[@FanFictionneer]

Great to see you guys at Efteling again, welcome back! With Droomvlucht, apparently there was one of the gondola's (cars) that rolled back down a hill and bumped into another one but without too much incident (no one got hurt or anything, the bump supposedly wasn't too hard). That's apparently the problem that's keeping it closed at the moment. They open Vogelrok from time to time during maintenance as compensation. By the way fun fact (in case you did not know already), the guy with the stacks of pancakes in the final scene of Symbolica is Polle, the cook/owner of Polle's Keuken (the pancake restaurant across from Symbolica). There's a whole lore about all the characters linked to Pardoes!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@annalevermore7857]

Love Efteling. My Mum who is half Dutch used to visit when she was tiny and it was just the fairytale forest and park.

[@robinh5339]

Love this video, you are so well-informed about all the developments etc. As for Halloween, the Efteling has a policy of being ‘other-Wordly’: this means you won’t see any holiday-themed decorations in there. It’s part of the world-building. Christmas also doesn’t ‘exist’ in the Efteling, although you will see some snowy trees and presents in the Winter Efteling. But never Santa or Elves!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@Manticore_007]

Was looking forward to 11:54 and was not disappointed. Always cracks me up when Shawn gives it another go! #baronachttienachtennegentig

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I always try 😂

[@EvAurich]

Did you ever hear it being pronounced by a Dutch person? Just curious how the last three letters go silent when some Brits try

[@7ofthem]

Charlotte it’s our favourite ride in the park too ! We absolutely love FataMorgana as well , we prefer it to any other dark ride , it’s a classic , but dream flight runs it a close second, shame it was down. . We adore Efteling ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful ride!

[@GLI1346101]

41:43 I love the talking tree at Eftling, but my friends don't. They have had nightmares and phobias on the talking tree at Eftling. But we are Americans. Most Americans don't take the time to visit Eftling or they get very few American visitors, but there is no way I am going to the Netherlands without visiting Eftling. I love the dark rides there.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We love it!

[@Cheezbat]

Efteling is such an amazing park. It’s one of my favorites! Another great Vlog!

[@DannyMNL]

Regarding the financial difficulties at one of the sub-contractors for the construction of the Efteling Grand Hotel: they were actually declared bankrupt in September. I have heard however that a few days ago the company has been purchased by a different company and that activities will resume. I don't know how this will affect construction of the hotel. The construction sector in the Netherlands as a whole is going through difficult times at the moment, due to rising material costs and the fact the government has imposed very strict rules regarding the output of Nitrogen during construction. I work as an architectural drafter and even we have noticed work drying up due to uncertain conditions at our clients. It's actually a miracle the Efteling managed to get the permits to build both Danse Macabre and the Efteling Grand Hotel at the same time. I think it's due to the measures the park itself already takes to combat climate impact.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Let’s hope work continues on the hotel soon!

[@naomihenderson00]

Used to go here at least once a year as a child, so nostalgic to me! It’s been a fee years since i’ve been there but i can’t wait to go back! Your videos make me feel like i’m there for a bit, thank you for the amazing content!!❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@ropax11]

I always laugh my ass off when Charlotte went for a water ride!!! 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work. Have fun throughout your Europe tour.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such good fun!

[@Antoine_Bs]

Are you going to Efteling again when Danse Macabre opens?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will be!

[@m00gal]

My favourite European park, I'd easily take this over Disneyland Paris.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful park

[@jordi1090]

Good to see you back here! 👍

[@moxxym]

I love this park, wasn't able to go to it last summer but it's so great to see it's just as amazing as I remember

[@DisneyMarkUK]

What an amazing looking park, it gives me Europapark vibes. Thanks for sharing it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a great time Mark!

[@DisneyMarkUK]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Thanks guys.

[@ImmyF]

Thank you so much for all of your content. I live in North Yorkshire which is no where near any major parks and all your content and infectious joy allows me to experience these incredible attractions from afar. Thank you so much ❤️

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@zaynelbaraka584]

efteling is a great theme park glad you enjoyed

[@beardown6574]

Love seeing the European parks and how different they are from the American parks

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@sharonellis8776]

Good vlog, great park. Would love to stay at Efteling maybe next year ? xx

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We would definitely recommend it!

[@juliajones2283]

You two on water rides is hilarious.

[@Willempie2408]

12:08 nailed it 😂😂😂

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

One of my favorite places you go! Loved the vlog...

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@briandennehy9296]

I know this blog is 3 months old, but did you just present your Blackpool platinum pass to the entrance kiosk or did you to email in advance to sort it? Thanks

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

All you need to do is present it to them at the admission area

[@suerichardson4381]

Such a cute ride 5:25

[@jakekendall5059]

We’re in Belgium, off to Efterling in a few days with two young children. Thank you for the preview, and very much looking forward to it

[@brent_in_aussie]

Hey you pair , so excited to see Efteling again … hope to visit one day in the future … just coz you pair recommend it ❤

[@boogiebear3027]

I really have to look into sorting out a trip to this park. It looks amazing 😀

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful park

[@murielimfeld7234]

LOVED bumping into you guys at Islands of Adventure on Me Ship, The Olive and then watching your Vlog from the Efteling, my Hometown park

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Great to see you!

[@alexfunnell9953]

I loved the family in the back of the boat ride going HAM

[@One_Odd_Parrot]

Yay! thought you would wait for next year for Danse Macabre and the Grand Hotel!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

You can never have too many visits to Efteling!

[@One_Odd_Parrot]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide true!

[@graemecassidy5647]

One of the best parks, for sure. Good coasters, and really nice themes for their dark rides.

[@hyperlink0366]

Of all the bucket list parks I would like to visit one day, Efteling is definitely up there, probably top 2, losing out to Europa Patk for me, only cause I’m more of a thrill seeker, though Efteling has some great coasters. Also, 29:57 is Symbolica loosely based on that one Pardoes TV show from 2011 (How’s that for an obscure reference?) or is it something original?

[@hyperlink0366]

Meant to put Europa Park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a great park!

[@matthewhill5426]

Python reminds me of Corkscrew, my favourite back in the day at Towers ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such a classic!

[@alysavnhe]

Im so excited for the new hotel and themed area! Will you be visiting when it’s done?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will be!

[@kevinseymour8793]

Efteling definitely got to be done in 2024, might risk it in March. Take our time with a hotel stay too, loving the euro road trip - these parks are more realistic for us to do one day, hope you are having a great time still

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful park!

[@Nathan-v3b]

Looks so good wish i could go there

[@Kieben1112]

Long neck is just an icon for this channel 😂😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love him!

[@neonpixiee518]

Hilarious vid guys love all the little songs and funny voices. What an amazing park!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@MrThalex]

I'm only here for Shawn saying "Baron 1898".❤️‍🔥 11:50 I'm gonna ask a compilation for christmas

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Brilliant 😂

[@trevorgannon1229]

Off to the Netherlands with the family on Wednesday and doing two days at Efteling (one night in hotel). Been really helpful to watch your vlog so thanks for all the info. Also heading to Phantasialand for a day and can't wait for that either!

[@ASongForU]

Hi Shaw and Charlotte, The reason why a number of Fatasie paddlers did not ride on the track at Symbolica is as follows. The safety bars of the treasure tour opened during the ride. Apparently that was a difficult job and took a while. And Dreamvflight did not run because 2 ride vehicles collided. Fortunately no one was injured. Have a great trip guys!!!👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Hopefully they can get these issues sorted!

[@alisonturner536]

I love Efteling...been taking my kids there since they were little...now 24 and 29. Will hopefully be taking my grandchildren there at some point when I get them 😊

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Love how some parks twin to get a free days entrance at another park. Great idea. Love eifterling, it looks magical.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great!

[@djsmirny7027]

A ride like Symbolica is what pleasure wood hill needs so much would be so good for the park to bring more people in

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a wonderful dark ride

[@stephenrowan8128]

@32:25 has some Jurassic World: The Ride (Universal Studios Hollywood) vibes, but preceded it by two years!

[@CoasterRob]

Just got the notification of your 100,000 subscriber award for sanbrooke adventures cannot say how happy I am for you both looking forward to your content on both channels

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@LM-v8x-1104]

I like to see how much you enjoy the Efteling every time you visit it! I totally agree with you, it’s a great themepark! I live in Tilburg, a town near the Efteling, and I visit the Efteling as many times as I can!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful park

[@brendaevans1330]

Fair play charlotte getting more relaxed on the water rides im on catch up at the min

[@Heartagram20]

Just rode every ride over the last few days, first time visiting and we're stopping on site and travel back home to the UK tomorrow. One of my favourite parks to have visited. Gutted to be leaving :(

[@Coasterlab_1]

Amazing 🎉🎉

[@A2D_____________]

It’s just started

Sounds like the Wallace and Gromit theme 49:35

Looking forward to seeing this vlog :)!

[@Rik-rj3pu]

do you know why you were stuck in symbolica, because you have a screen at the front that you have to press, only if no one does that the tour does not continue

[@nicolaward1034]

Looks like a great park!

[@teddynash]

I love de Efteling ! 😊 .oOo. design & nature .oOo.

[@pretpakket_timo]

39:10 if you know dutch its the funniest thing on earth like i was there 2 months ago and i didn't rember it and we were walking around "het sprookjesbos" when the attractions already closed we stood there and i laughed so hard i love that troll😂 (the name did good😂)

[@simonindelicate8133]

We were there for two days last week and Symbolica went down in the morning of our first day and didn't reopen while we were there - so whatever is broken, that's when it broke. A real shame to miss it - but Droomvlucht is our favourite and we got on that so we were chill about it...

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Hopefully they’ll get it fixed soon!

[@waynegreenwood9819]

Hi Shawn and Charlotte carnival festival soundtrack sounds like the Wallace and grommits sound track for thrillomatic sound track at bpb

[@CLC-1000]

Happy Sunday TPW

[@Couch_potato123-w5g]

An incident happened once on python when the train began moving when people were been evacuated but no one was injured

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It did many years ago. Very sad!

[@fastrack24]

Would love to go to Efteling! Better at Christmas or in the summer? Great vlog!

[@danielboon8137]

Winter is much better!! But in the summer you'll also have a great visit!

[@arissana]

I always say this, winter Efteling for the Vibes and Summer Efteling for the rides!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Both are great times!

[@jasp19]

Always a pleasure watching your Efteling vlogs! Such a shame ya'll came right when 'Droomvlucht' closed down! "One of the best necks I've ever seen" is a quote for the books!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@steveadams9735]

Always glad to see when you release new content.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching. New vlogs everyday for the next couple of weeks!

[@fragglenum]

Can’t decide whether to try Portaventura or Efteling and Wallibi next year.

[@mikey2111]

I think i'm missing some audio in the Flying Dutchman scene at the lifthill? Aren't you supposed to hear : Ook gij zult varen tot het einde der tijden at that moment? It's been a long time since i've been on so i could be mistaking.

[@robinmaassen1708]

good effort on pronouncing "baron 1898"😁. you're getting there haha. thanks again for a great video. keep up the great work.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@brianohanlon5061]

i think they should always keep the theme of the park.....well..... like the fairytales... more medieval looking... more so than the 17th century pirate ship ot the baron based in 1894...did i get the year correct.?.... well, i think that the medieval era theme gives the park that magic feeling... what do you guys think.... we dont want them to start making rides based on ... say the 21st century or the future ... like a terminator ride... or sigourney weaver and the Aliens ride.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@thejussie3452]

Nice vlog! Too bad Dream flight was down... :(. Next time you might wanna check out the kashba restaurant (next to vogel rok) from the inside. It is really nicely themed to Sindbad! The restaurant itself is external (it's a "la place" like you've also visited in Duinrell). Also we hope the chips were nice at Station de Oost! ;)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They were delicious!

[@shabraethompson]

This park looks amazing I think you said Netherlands? You make me want to travel when I don't have the money and a baby haha maybe one day 😊

[@TedShatner10]

Efterling's Python is pretty much a less compact version of Alton Towers' defunct Corkscrew (and it's been given the Nemesis Reborn treatment fairly recently).

[@suerichardson4381]

You can see the track as you enter the water 23:22
