Efteling Vlog September 2017 Day Two

[@mellchiril]

I love every single bit about the Efteling. The scenery, the rides, the feeling it brings just walking through there... I might be in my 30's by now, but every time I step through those gates I feel like a little kid again, and not many parks can do that for me. Sadly I haven't been able to go for several years, so many of the newer rides are still unfamiliar to me. I believe that the last time I went there, the Flying Dutchman had just opened, and I couldn't ride it because it was already closed again, which made me sad. One day I'll get to ride it though, this I promise to myself. My favorite ride has to be Droomvlucht, simply because it's the first ride I ever went on inside this park as a little kid and it just blew me away. So it holds a special place in my heart.

[@jordycliman3319]

You have to visit the park during Winter Efteling. It is even more beautiful, and you get to see Aquanura in the dark! Also, Symbolica is my favourite dark ride as well. Love that ride!

[@middleofnowehere]

We went to Efteling for the first time with the kids this year. It is truly wonderful. Every single attraction is unique and surprising. We can't wait to get back and ride Symbolica!

[@slimmerick1500]

1:00:05 I was the staff member who gave you this, i'm happy that you liked it ^^

[@thomasryan9608]

Thats pretty cool

[@glittabones]

Aw, that was a nice little extra! =)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much, so kind!

[@simoneversteegmedischepedi102]

Leuk

[@SweetChiliBros]

Glad you liked the Efteling. I always kinda feel some sort of pride that it's in my home country xD. A few things: The guy sucking up the trash is actually another fairytale, called Holle bolle Gijs. He's all about eating paper, though. He constantly says: "Paper here" (though it rhymes in Dutch). The old wooden rollercoaster before Joris had a corner that almost busted your kidney. It still was my first rollercoaster and I loved it anyways! There is a park you've probably never heard of called Duinrel. It's not a huge park, but it's a combination of a waterpark and a themepark. The waterslides in there are some of the fastest and craziest ones I've ever seen. I hope to see you try it sometime.

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah I actually camped at Duinrell back in 2012 before I became an enthusiast and I don't get why it gets as much backlash from enthusiasts as it does. Yeah it's a small park but it looks beautiful with a lot of natural landscape and the rides it has are quite good. I mean they have an Eurofighter there.

[@TTHBLOX_]

DrDewott DO NOT GO ON DRAGONFLY... DUINRELL DRAGINFLY HAS A TREE AT THE FIRST FALL.. THE BRANCH ALMOST TOOK MY HEAD OFF.. I AM 6 FOOT TALL

[@glittabones]

The forest section is like a big-budget Blackgang Chine, haha. Love it!

[@hethedendaegspolygoon]

With the park expansion and planned new coaster you will like Efteling even more!

[@Thrillingexplorer]

33:40 theme park event at Efteling YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThSeth]

Or Phantasialand, maybe? :D

[@Thrillingexplorer]

ThSeth both are good😂

[@ThSeth]

I live 45 Minutes from Phantasialand, so I am a bit biased ;) But Efteling would be awesome as well !

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Now that would be fun!

[@Wig4]

I'm almost every week there :-)

[@bostieandres]

On your next visit to Efteling you should give 'de oude tuffer' a try. It just recently got updated!

[@PendelSteven]

Oh yeah, the good old 'Oude Tuffer', actually meaning the 'Old Chugger'. A little hard to find, but just take a good look on the map, it's in the south-east , next to De Halve Maen (Halve Maan - Half Moon) ship and the Polka Marina. Actually, do all three. It's good old family fun. Oh, and De Halve Maen is probably still the worlds biggest of those attractions.

[@willekec4437]

You might want to visit late November/early December on a weekday. It would still not be busy at all, but it will be "Winter Efteling". The Fairytale Forrest is then completely transformed to a winter/Christmas decor. So magical! The rest of the park is also adorned with winter and Christmas ornaments. It is really beautiful then! :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, I hope to visit during winter at some point

[@PendelSteven]

@53:00 some info... Aquanura used to be the canoepond and there was an indoor fountainshow near the Diorama - I forget where exactly. Probably Symbolica? The indoor fountainshow is gone, but we there's Aquanura now. As for the canoes... Yeah. I don't ever think I've seen them in action. N I might be wrong. I'm a 90s kid. But I think before Aquanura it was just a pond for years.

[@donald1949]

Thank you Shawn for saying SHOW BUILDING instead of warehouse-it sounds so much better and more professional-well done you!!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@bramstultjens9735]

Ruud Bos is actually the house composer of the Efteling so almost every composition is made by him and played by an orchestra!

[@guidohilgy2505]

He only was the home composer until the year 2000. From 2006, Rene Merkelbach is it. In between some other composers ,like Maarten Hartveldt, did write some music for the park. Btw, I hate Merkelbach's music. It' sounds to simple and cheap. Especially the new parkmusic is awfull. I hope they find a new composer that's more on the same level as Ruud Bos or Maarten Hartveldt.

[@bramstultjens9735]

Guido Hilgy You're right... I feel stupid, I meant René Merkelbach 😅

[@Wig4]

I know a LOT of composers who are more inspired... :-) ... (Actually, however, Belgian and French. I do have professional contacts with 2)

[@Bluesbrotherfan]

Maybe a nice little detail on the dragon at 6:24. There used to be the chinese nightingale. Then they made a new chinese nightingle like we know it today (13:37) and placed a dragon on the old wall. You cann still see the branch where the nightingale used to sit on. Just look up "nachtegaal efteling draak" on google and you cann see the old version. Where Raveleijn is build, there used to be one of the old entrances. So that's why it's so close to the parkinglot. But there is a lot more to know about the Efteling.

[@gladtobeangry]

Really enjoy your vlogs on the Efteling, and great to see you becoming more and more enthusiastic about the park as you visit more often. To me, it's the best theme park I've visited, but Im not a huge theme park fanatic like you guys, so I've been to maybe 10 different theme parks in total. Efteling is just a classic for everyone who grew up in the Netherlands. I'm not a nationalist at all, but that park makes me proud to be a (flying) dutchman. I remember walking through the park as a kid, in the late eighties, and loving it, even though most of the rides that make it so great now weren't around back then. Hadn't been there in years, and then returned in 2010 and fell in love with it all over again. I think the whole uniqueness of it is what makes it so great. You'll never see a ride there with characters from some current trendy animation movie. You'll never see a big chain restaurant opening its doors in the park. It's entirely its own thing, and that's why I don't hesitate in rating this above my experience at Disneyland in Anaheim. Disney's amazing, and in fairness just a little bit more impressive in theming, but you do sometimes feel a bit like being inside an immersive commercial for their movies and tv shows. In Efteling, you feel immersed in a magical nostalgic fantasy world.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for sharing your comment, it's always great to hear other peoples thoughts on this excellent park

[@koekeritisVideos]

Really loving all the Europe vlogs so far! :D Great to hear that you loved Symbolica!

[@Gisela_aka_gies]

Yes, what a great vlog again. I enjoy watching you guys enjoy "my" park. Thank you.

[@ThemeParkJunky51290]

I just love the whale scene on Symbolica! Heck, I LOVE IT ALL! Amazing vlogs as always!

[@Wig4]

The whale is the largest animatronic in the park, apart from the steampunk styled Draconicon, and the dragon at the Joris... coaster. :-) The movement is very well done, despite the size, it really feels like floating in the water

[@amsterik1]

I watched this video for second time and now I miss “tiki tiki tiki room” compared to first time! I could be wrong, but I have the idea that you still didnt visit “pandadroom” (3D movie) and “het wapen van Raveleijn” (restaurant next to the Raveleijn show, Nice themed in Raveleijn style) Thanks for your uploads!

[@TheNeofierer]

Shaun- Well done. You have worked hard to get this channel where it is. You will always get jealous haters and you will always get negative people, but you got what you always wanted..... Keep it up!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, I always keep pushing forward

[@mariesully8606]

I went here in the year 2000 it’s changed a lot since then by the looks of it. The only ride I can remember is the one with the round spiral at the end dark ride, we all loved that! Brilliant vlogs my family love watching all of the different parks you have been to. We are going to Disney Paris in dec I have not been since 99 that’s changed a lot to 😀

[@QDude24]

You missed the biggest themed area of the park...again! The Lavenlaer, with a monorail through it, but its a good walkthrough on itself

[@silversamm]

I cant even remember the last time I've actually been in there myself ^^

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will see it one day! :P

[@jurgent5755]

Did you guys miss Diorama? It's located in a hall behind the steam carousel. It's a giant miniature train layout in Anton Pieck style. Again one of those nostalgic little gems that make Efteling so special.

[@silversamm]

He went in there last year, Shawn is actually quite a fan of model trains himself.

[@iknownothing8829]

Hi guys, just wanted to say I really enjoy your vlogs; I've discovered you about a month ago and I love how you take your time to review everything in detail. The Efteling is my absolute favourite park in the world (so far) and I was there yesterday for like... the 20th time?:P Thanks to you guys I knew which tour to pick in Symbolica;) Keep up the amazing work!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for the continued support

[@iknownothing8829]

You're welcome!

[@Travelmatt23]

Glad you finally went to Polle's Kitchen, it is one of my favourite theme park restaurants. That transition before was hilarious too.

[@Pieter_Auper]

Guys, you really should come back next year and revlog this. In the meantime please do some reading up about Efteling. The park deserves it. Efteling is not really only a theme park, it's an actual museum. I understand you are younger and mainly come for, or at least understand, the modern rides, but most of the park's theming and rides are incredibly well preserved original classics dating back all the way to 1952. They rarely removed anything. Also Efteling still sticks to the original visual style, created by Anton Pieck, who was very important for why this is still one of the most beautiful and magical themeparks in the world. I'm not bashing this vlog, i think you are one of the best theme park vloggers around, that's why i think Efteling deserves a better vlog from you. I still thumbed this up ;)

[@corjan8057]

Pieter Auper precies!

[@chrisvanderkruis2561]

Shawn, please read this!!!

[@Filipolis]

Pieter Auper Stop, you weird Efteling fanatic! Normal people just visit the park to have fun, and that's what it's meant for. People like you ruined this park for me, and just the whole community of fans seems very weird and unhealthy! I just don't get that bizarre relation some people have with this park. Chris van der Kruis Random Xtremerides profile picture? lol :D

[@Pieter_Auper]

Filipolis you are right. You just don't get that 'bizarre' relation some people have with the park. And that's alright, you are too young to understand. Also, if a comment like mine can ruin a park for you you might want to reconsider who the 'normal' people are ;)

[@viper5158]

Filipolis Shawn has the same "unhealthy" connection with the several Disney parks. Why can't Shawn dig deeper in the parks history and stuff. He for instance said that after python the park hugely improved theming wise etc. While python just was a merely side step to accommodate the younger thrill seeking folks coming to the park in that time. Efteling already was decades underway in building a park with attractions that where heavily themed. So he was wrong about that.

[@QDude24]

The foodpath where you had never been on before, the 50 meter high ride will be build to the left of it in 2020 And the magic Symbolica wand is called Twinkeltoorts ;)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for the information!

[@frontrowviews]

QDude24 it’s cancelled, the highest they can build now is 35m

[@bradster990]

Awesome meeting you at alton towers today bud, was great seeing sw8 with my own eyes for a change can't wait to try it next year

[@irlcinderella]

I'm going to the Efteling on the 5th of october til the 8th I'll be experiencing Symbolica for first time last year we went too early so we didn't see Symbolica sadly I watched all your Efteling vlogs in 2 days keep going! I love your vlogs

[@PendelSteven]

at 5:00, The good old Herautenplein in the middle of the forest. Seen in the video at 10:00. Translate's as Herald's Square and everyone who's been in the Efteling has probably waited there for someone who went for the toilets. And pastry and drinks and sometimes icecream. Good old Kleyne Klaroen :) (little bugle), also at 6:30 I've got a plushie of that dragon called Lightgeraakt watching over me whilst I'm sleeping. Yay!

[@clanBlackhunters]

Great Vlog as always. I'll visit Efteling in 1 or 2 months to check out Symbolica. Im excited for the Phantasialand vlog!

[@Yochemm]

Did you know that the Efteling as park is almost 300 ha (3,000,000 m2), and from that area is 72 ha (720,000 m2) Efteling Themepark. In 2020 will the Efteling extra grow with 8 ha (80,000 m2), and the new part become to the Efteling Themepark. And a new tip where to eat in The Efteling... In Raveleijn is a restaurant, you can eat there very well and feels like the middle ages.

[@Wig4]

It's recomended to reserve a table at Raveleijn restaurant, as very often, all tables get reserved and then the entry-at-the-spot-option becomes unavailable. Reserve for AFTER closing time dinner ! (then you get your full time spent in the park) Alternative, try (after park closing) the restaurants of the Efteling Hotel, or Bosrijk. They serve à la carte, at very reasonable prices ! Fun to know : coffee, beer, wine etc in the BAR of the Efteling Hotel, full service, is cheaper then in the refreshment stalls in the park (self serve and carton-cups...) :-)

[@mariav4097]

Most stories in the fairytail forrest are from the brothers Grimm.The clean versions.The first versions where more gruesome lol.

[@CroweDharmaReloaded]

Winter Efteling, definetly go. You will not be disappointed!

[@cheryleann6394]

I'm feeling a bit let down Dude. Why did you not do the monorail? It looks so magical. I would think it such a sweet, nice, relaxing ride. Please film it the next time you visit...please! Thanks for the rest of the vlog. No one does it better!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching, we will have to ride the monorail next time

[@gerben2401]

To be fair, you were English tourists on a ride made for very small kids, the staffmember probably thought you guys broke the ride, I get if he acted a bit rude Nice vlog btw!

[@theexplodingchicken8340]

I though there was actually a sign saying that no one above 12 is allowed to ride that, except if you are accompanying a child. I'm surprised they managed to get on!

[@gyqz]

*theexplodingchicken* There is...and it shows amazing grace of Efteling staff they'd allow 4 grown up in two executive trains. In the 60+ years these trains have been in existence, it has been very very rare they've derailed...

[@TheemoviesHD]

there is a sign with no one above 12

[@Pieter_Auper]

They clearly had no idea what they were doing throughout all this vlog. No offense, the commentary in the 1952 fairy forest (the oldest part in the Efteling, it started it all) was cringy in a good way but here they almost broke a 1954 Efteling classic. I think literally everybody UP TO TWELVE in the Netherlands rode and loves it. This was like me coming to Blackpool, sawing through a beam of Wild Mouse and then complaining about the staff being dicks over it.

[@Nielovitsch]

What the hell? Because they are English tourists you can just act rude? Bullshit. First get the story clear, then react.

[@PendelSteven]

@37:40 ish is called Kinderspoor. Children's Track. So erm yeah... :)

[@nutday5]

great film, thanks. We used to go here in the 70s :)

[@PendelSteven]

@18:00 pancake restaurent Polles Keuken has actually won an award. Or several. For best restaurant in a theme park worldwide.

[@joshuabaker7812]

Well I'm supposed to be doing homework but I have priorities

[@thomasryan9608]

😂

[@noaahhh_g]

Same though

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We hope you enjoyed the vlog

[@oliverbaker4134]

big up my g commenting on my brothers comment... whatsgwanning blud

[@Jonasvdv93]

U where lucky too get on the peddel trains. Because officially adults aren't allowed on that ride unless with a very little child. Also the park is discussing for removing the Bob coaster because since a couple months de coaster track must be completely dry for the ride too open. So their is a fair change for all that it was the last time u rode that coaster.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We thank the staff member for allowing us on!

[@maximecretton383]

23:05 WTF is Abraham Lincoln doing on Symbolica???

[@Glyhnzel]

I was thinking the same thing haha!

[@SvenvanOijen]

Its the way people dress in Symbolica

[@myrthe357]

Waarom? Its the way people dress in the Efteling. Its an old fashion style. You see this everywere in the Efteling

[@sdaniel9129]

You should see and review The Efteling Midsummer Festival 16-06-2018!!! It's a totally differrent experience ;-) With enormous flowers, entertainment and rides do not close untill after midnight... There is a silent disco in the woods nearby Spookslot at "Heksenpad" wich means "Witchpath" I come to the Efteling annually, because of the children, but we'll switch to Europapark, when Rulantica opens...

[@QDude24]

SDaniel there won't be one next year ;)

[@samuelson2130]

Yes! Been looking froward to this!!

[@scottjackson1812]

Love all your vlogs of all these theme parks and would love to visit some of these outside the UK one day. I have loved theme parks since was a child and always will. I'm sure you get asked this a lot but wondered how you fund all these theme parks all through the year and all over the world. I would love to do something like this. Keep up the good work love your reviews

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They really are great parks and we hope you get to visit soon!

[@scottjackson1812]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide yeah I really hope to. Your lucky your other half enjoys theme parks. My other half is not really in to them. Definitely would love to visit more around the world and it's great to see all these different ones on your vlogs as I wouldn't of known about many of them

[@Stagbury]

Yay Efteling!

[@TheHoost2]

must admit I skipped the pov for Symbolica don't want to ruin in when I go, great vlog

[@Lucatoire]

Shawn you look knackered in this video!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I was quite tired on this day

[@Lucatoire]

Martin Hopwood Thanks mum :p

[@Dafoodmaster]

I love the story where the young girl dies in winter. Reminds me of my childhood!

[@LaurentElens]

In the Polles Keuken, there are menus in English German and French :)

[@silversamm]

Yes there are! One of Shawn's flaws is not communicating with staff for the best possible experience and it shows in situations like that.

[@joekobylarz3739]

Great second part and vlog hope u had a great day

[@NOSYNCMUSIC]

did you buy the 65th anniversary mug with Symbolica on it?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I didn't this time

[@paggasnaan]

You missed pandadroom! Translate: pandadream. Its a 4-D cinema with a pre-show and if you came out you got in The octopus restaurant!

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

Wait... didn't Charlotte say in day one that the mascot (aka Pardoes) is creepy? 😮 he obviously grew on her, cause he is one of her favorite now!

[@trevorrandom]

Checking this out before we go next year ☺

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a great time!

[@sannevanderkevie]

11:30 I used to be terrified of those green frog monster things..

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Hi Shawn watched all the symbolic . Can you say what the difference were on them ,I didn't notice the them .thanks. glad Martin and Leah are enjoying it there .

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They each have a different scene towards the end of the ride

[@thejuncker.9714]

Did you do the 3D movie panda droom ? Didn't see it in all of your efteling vlogs. Its nothing special buts its a credit as you say it haha. Nice vlog again.

[@yoloswaggins197]

The pages of the book you see are supposed to turn by itself. Too bad its not working on your visit. Love the vlog!

[@yoloswaggins197]

* in Symbolica

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Hopefully we will see that next time!

[@Wig4]

It's THIN, thus fragile. They work on it. But, if it's not working, it's repaired for the next day.

[@ChloeHynes123]

Hello where is this place it looks brilliant I live in the uk?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Located in The Netherlands!

[@ThSeth]

Wavorite ride? Shambalica? :D

[@silversamm]

Shambalica, haha thats a good one!

[@Wig4]

Shambalica will be the Haloween makeover in the Symbolica ride :-)

[@mstrmren]

Futurescope now opend a roller coaster, maybe its worth visiting now

[@sixstringhotshot88]

not being funny but this parks upkeep puts our major parks in the uk to shame.

[@masterknife8423]

marc hennessy And yet the UK has the fith largest economy in the world. Efteling's theming is just like Disney theming

[@Wig4]

It is actually completely different from Disney theming ... :-) .. but the ATTENTION for theming may be on the same level, yes... (that's another matter... ) Let me point out a 3rd park were this is the case : Pairi Daiza, animal theme park, in Belgium. WORLD TOP. (I would rate it 2nd just after Disney Animal Kingdom, no matter if you already know the park or not ) :-) In a similar way as Efteling : they do NOT swim in money like Disney parks. Both Efteling and Pairi Daiza are 100% independent parks, who finance every extention with their OWN money, not the money of a multinational media company.... Disney is UNABLE to build what these 2 parks build, at the same budget as they really DO ! .... Disney would die of investment tyfus ... lol ... Disney is suffering from the "Excess-budget-disease" , with top management that earns way too much (2-5 times too much, REALLY...) , and footfolk (either CM's or building site staff) that are generally underpaid.................

[@thomasryan9608]

17:20 😂😂😂😂 ROFL SOOO FUNNY

[@omiclock247]

Hey I think your videos are great! What would you say is your theme park and ride?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Tokyo Disneysea is my favourite park and Wildfire my top coaster

[@GarryWilliams555]

have you guys ever done the snail monorail? Don't recall seeing it in any of your vlogs.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I have indeed, great little ride!

[@Sxmplypeely]

Are you going to Ever go to Cedar Point

[@ThoosieJP]

2018 buddy

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I hope to at some point soon!

[@Sxmplypeely]

Or maybe silver dollar city when they get their new spinning coaster????

[@basjebro9827]

Efteleling is soooo pretty😍

[@gijsdewit2072]

The best to see aquanura is at the other side by those houses

[@user-qb2mu9to5w]

31:50 Shawn got a little emotional, that ride must be really impressive.

[@ronnygomisillustraties4770]

Tim It is, there is no other ride in the world that is build with so much detail in it. Like Shawn said every inch of that ride is build with eye for detail. It's hard to explain in words you have to see it. Video's doesn't do it justice. If you are a person like Shawn that appriciates theming and the art and craft behind it. I could imagine what a ride like Symbolica would do to him. It's a theming overload. I know a guy that has been in Symbolica for over 200 rides (Yes i'm talking about you Wesley Vervloet) and still he discovers new stuff. Just go there and ride it.

[@jonasneyens2310]

If you ever have time do Bellewearde it 's not far from plopsalnd de panne . And bellewearde has also a lot of good credits

[@o123Michi321o]

THEMEPARKS BELGUIM including two weird Alpine Coasters with automatic brakes, still dont know how to feel about those.

[@jonasneyens2310]

its build for families other wise its to fast i think ?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I hope to visit it at some point

[@jonasneyens2310]

That's asome because i love youre vlogs !

[@viper5158]

One day Efteling will surpass Europa park in the attendance statistics. More and more foreigners are discovering the park and in the future it will be the absolute alternative to Disneyland paris for Europeans.

[@r-3x882]

Imho, EuropaPark is still better than Efteling. There's not much difference in quality, but the German theme park has an amazing overall experience. We must be very happy to have two theme parks like these in Europe.

[@theexplodingchicken8340]

+Simone Graffi I actually think that there is a lot of difference in quality. You only have to look at the darkrides of both parks to see that Efteling has the better and more unique ones. There is more theming in Europa, but I think the quality of the theming isn't on par with Efteling. The quality even varies throughout the park from good to some of the worst I have ever seen at a major theme park (bench the ride). It's quantity over quality at Europa if you ask me.

[@Filipolis]

Carnival Festival or Panda Droom don't have good theming as well... Europa Park has themed areas, while Efteling just has themed rides. Europa also has many themed queue lines, while only the Flying Dutchman has a themed queue in the Efteling, and the rest are just awful cattlepens, and some even without shading! Also, the ride, food and sanitation quality is way better in Europa Park, as well as the capacity. The Efteling will never surpass that.

[@owenc6961]

I feel like if they expanded their ride offering more adding more coasters especially, they could surpass Europa in attendance. The other thing is the parks should advertise more outside their country to attract more foreign Visitors Europa should do that as well. The big parks in mainland Europe arnt known well by the general public.

[@masterknife8423]

Arnold de Jong Yeah but all the dark rides in Efteling only have Dutch audio. I know Efteling's a dutch park but couldn't they mix in a bit of English audio too? Disneyland Paris does that with their dark rides

[@JVGmidi]

My home park. The Python was the first big coaster for me.

[@Mister_H]

Another great VLOG and park to add to my wish list. How did Paul manage to drive to the park in only 3 1/2 hours from the South? I am in the South and Google says over 7/12 including the Eurotunnel? Thanks :)

[@Thrillridesphotography]

Mr H thanks for your comment, I live very close to the eurotunnel and then when you get off the train it's 3 hours. The crossing is only 35 mins and I get there for 8.00 wait for it to open and drive back at close, it's quicker then driving to alton towers for me, glad you enjoyed the VLOG

[@Mister_H]

Thrillridesphotography Ah, that explains it, I’m a lot more South than you 😊. Thanks for solving the mystery, you are in the ideal location for visiting all the European parks 👍

[@sealiobounce5377]

Remember when you only had 5k subs and always used to record in Alton Drayton and other parks in the U.K. And now you are vlogging everywhere

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for the long term support with our channel!

[@angelofacipieri]

17.27 that was scary 😂

[@nataliebutcher8380]

Just wondering in the Pancake restraint. Did it serve waffles too?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Not as far as I know

[@pixiedust9332]

You guys should've tried out Panda Dream!! (Panda droom)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I'll have to give it a go next time!

[@QDude24]

Symbolica got a lot of new effects since your visit, it feels completely different now imo

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I can't wait to see it again!

[@Wig4]

There is a lot of effects not yet installed, partly due to tryout period (still going on...) and partly because of budget. They will be added gradually (most probably, according to insider information) over the following yeaaaaars only. For instance, the augmented reality scenes (detail video mapping). NONE have been installed at opening time. Video mapping is expensive in production....

Great vlog,Have you been crealy great adventure and theme park in Dorset??

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I did visit many years ago

[@lebwoi2730]

So basically the fairytale garden are all really famous Dutch fairytales and the fairytale garden is how the Efteling begon.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It is indeed

[@DemiFu]

You do miss out on the pre shows at symbolica and at baron 1898 when you're in a wheelchair, so sad :(

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That's a shame, it would of been nice if they made them wheelchair friendly

[@arthurchristiaens]

If you want to have a quiet day, you should go during Winter Efteling!

[@Kalfje33]

Halve Maen isn't the biggest Bounty ship anymore :( . There is one in China that's bigger

[@guidohilgy2505]

Ssssst, don't ruin it :p , You are right. But it's still the biggest in Europe.

[@MadMarv4Life]

I am not even sure that it has ever been te biggest one. It has 2 brothers. There is one at Lotte World in Korea and there is one at Kings Island in the USA. Kings Island claims the following: The Viking Fury opened in 1982 at Kings Island, it was the largest ride of its type in the world. The biggest swinging ships (Twin Flying Bounty by Intamin) that I know of is Viking at Nagashima Spa Land in Japan. There is also a double swinging ship at Everland in Korea. What do you know about the one at China?

[@gypsymuffinABZ]

[@ausomvlogs6114]

Whot did the rood member of staf say to you

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They were just rude the way they explained something to us

[@michellemaltby9404]

can u give me some tips on going on an upside down rollercoaster

[@GbHandlebar]

Michelle Holmes It works best if you choose to ride a rollercoaster that has at least one inversion. Otherwise, the experience will probably not meet expectations. ;-)

[@velocityru5h408]

Just send it jk but yeah I agree one loop or maybe a super smooth loop ride I good one is sooper dooper looper at Hershey park but idk where your from i Know my first looper coaster was Batman the ride at six flags New England

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The best thing to do is put your hands in the air and stay looking forwards!

[@velocityru5h408]

Or there always me dragging you one one

[@masonscorer2256]

Dont fall out 🤔

[@ridderdjoy5678]

i still am very happy my house is 5 km away from (at least) the best park of the benelux

[@jezzermeii]

Parents bringing screaming children into restaurants, rides, etc is my biggest pet peeve ever. I don't know how you managed it at 45:02, it would have done my nut in! If a child is screaming like that, they're either too young to be there or you need to take them outside. It's not fair on the other guests. Rant over, sorry! Lol.

[@Thrillingexplorer]

38:10 the question 38:50 the answer why you actually wouldn’t be allowed to ride it 😂😂 it’s for children under 12 years old

[@fredk3710]

To see what Aquanura is like at night, check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIupoXitqauFbbc . This is the actual footage of the opening night of Aquanura in 2012, that was broadcast live on regional television.

[@eftel-ing7194]

You must understand a few things about the Efteling before you visit. It was founded for children, to give them a few happy moments. Feed their fantasy. There once was a big playground, swimming, kanoing and row boats, but that has gone. It is based on the fairy tales of the brothers Grimm, of Hans Christian Andersen and of Scheherazade (fairy tales of 1001 nights). The first graphic designer was Anton Pieck, famous for his romantic illustrations. Where imperfect buildings were his example, a crack here, some fallen plaster there, a beam that saw the wear of time etc. For an impression of his work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emWqlmNuYtimbLs Dutch people liked this man very much and admired his works. They recognize what they see and enjoy a visit. Nowadays the Efteling wants to compete with Disney and loses its character fast. I do not know whether that's a wise decision, because offering something unique is better than to be a copy.

[@JamesTaylor6]

Notice how he keeps bring up kids. Is there something he's not telling us?

[@jezzermeii]

I think a lot of Europeans from that area of Europe can be perceived as rude, even though they aren't necessarily meaning to be. I've worked with a lot of people from that corner of the world, and they can be quite direct and to the point. Especially Germans! I don't think it's intended, it's just a cultural difference. :)

[@kevinsteeghs7831]

You missed panda droom

[@swk_4373]

Kevin Steeghs AHAHAHAHA godverdomme kevin k dacht echt precies t zelfde. Look around you all you SEEEE Everything that's there Do you CAAAREEE, OH YEAAAH We're in this TOGETHERRR, FOREVERRR ĐĔÛŘŅË-ØÔŞŤ JWZ SO THAT MEANS ITS TIME TO QUE THOSE TITLES DOEI LY ❤❤ TOT ZATERDAG ❤❤

[@swk_4373]

Kevin Steeghs ow btw hij is ook nog s daan zn raceautos vergeten en die verlepte kloteslakken

[@r-3x882]

It's an awful ride, he didn't miss that much.

[@silversamm]

Im pretty sure he's been on it last year, and it's really nothing unique or interesting. The shop and play area afterwards is already much more interesting than the movie experience imo.

[@hethedendaegspolygoon]

Take the filmscreen out of Pandadroom and put in a great Live Show in that theater. Something like Mickey and the magician in Disney but Efteling themed. That would be another great adition to the park!

[@joedonnellan4561]
