The Efteling

this park is really good actually

[@jotunfalls4026]

as a dutchie, 1) an hour is a very long time to wait in line. The longest I waited was 40 minutes and I've been to this park multiple times during the summer. 2) I'm of the opinion that carnaval festival should be replaced with a better dark ride that's suited to the rest of the area.

[@HangtimeAmy]

I went back in June too and it was quiet compared to this, but still so much better than a busy day at a UK park xD

[@re0473]

did you know that the lift structure for baron 1898 was built in budapest!!

[@Niff0601]

never would I have thought that I would see a Zelda cdi reference in a theme park enthusiast produced video but here we are

[@jaspervb8425]

Loved the style of the vid. I kinda stopped watching themepark vlogs because most of them focus to much on the technical side and facts & coaster news, and other ones (which do feel like chill vlogs) know nothing about the park they're going to!. This had the perfect balance. You guys seem like a chill friend group. Keep up the great work!

[@Fishul]

Thank you! I've always assumed that most of the people watching my videos already know all the same nerdy stuff I do so I never feel the need to say any of it anymore. So I'm happy that's what's drawn you in!

[@technov1king]

great review, nice to hear your point of view regarding our best park

[@annemabrie2287]

This is so fun to watch as a Dutchie who visits the Efteling every year

[@yellowstonethepony7769]

Cool fact: Some of the steam trains in the park are over 100 years old.

[@samshearer7020]

that low energy arabian show with the magic carpet slowly floating across the facade is one of the strangest things ive ever seen

[@Fishul]

it does feel quite off

[@aurawilming6047]

It's also one of the oldest. I swear as a kid he flew much faster lol. The story is, the sultan is going to visit the gardens, but his favorite flower, (the tulips, because, Dutch) are out of season. Of course in true entitled monarch fashion, the sultan threatens the gardener with beheading if he can't see the tulips. So the gardener asks the help of the Fakir to magic the tulips into blooming, and he can, with his magic flute. Only, as soon as he stops playing the blooms disappear. So the guy keeps flying around the garden trying to keep all the tulips in bloom to please the sultan.

This video sends some "big youtuber" vibes. Keep going mate. You've found that sparkle.

Watching Carnaval Festival before the 2019 renovation is even worse, but I think that they still confused 'stylised' with 'stereotyped' in the new version.

[@Fishul]

I went back and watched some old POVs of it after I got home and yes, oh dear haha

[@XanderSyr]

Having been to the Efteling again after 4.5 years yesterday this vid feels amazing and fun to watch. Even though I live 45 minutes away from the Efteling I don't go that often! Which I definitely should.

[@ThemingObsessed]

Im going to be there on monday, long hours of driving tomorrow and being on ferreh

[@wiebevdmeij]

Great vid! Really funny, liked it. To be honest though, you couldn't have timed it worse lol, the Efteling hasn't seen this much construction and pretty ugly scaffholding and such since, idk, 2017?

[@Fishul]

nice to see there's always new developments there at least

[@asafs.161]

The best/worst part is that the asian and african parts were much worse before they changed it

[@GeekyPastimes]

This is my favourite thumbnail on KZbin

PAGODE (THE DOOHICKEY‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️)

[@bepiempelaarnl]

How was the africa part racist though...

[@Fishul]

It reduces an entire continent of over a billion people and a multitude of different cultures to tribespeople in the jungle with spears. Meanwhile many of Europe's different countries and cultures are all given their own individual segments.

[@bepiempelaarnl]

They paid 3 million bucks to replace africa and asia to make it not racist@@Fishul, there are no spears in africa now, just some townspeople and a big monkey with a spider

[@hannahstretton3087]

I'm British and I went to Efteling a couple of years ago with some Dutch friends and the whole time I was on Carnaval Festival I was looking at my friend like why have you made a racist It's a Small World ride

[@ToldYouSo18]

You have a problem with how Asian/African people look?

[@Fishul]

I have a problem with racist caricatures from the 80s

[@FPL_Gaines]

Carnaval Festival is from the 1980s mate, what did you expect

[@Fishul]

Well I think it should probably be updated to fit with the times

[@LollipopLozzy454545]

Maybe we should have left the racism in that year hmm

[@MaikNL]

​@@LollipopLozzy454545being offended is a choice

[@HangtimeAmy]

shush@@MaikNL

[@willmichael138]

It was actually updated to remove some harmful stereotypes in 2019, you should see the characters from before then haha@@Fishul

[@ThemingObsessed]
