Having been to both Disneyland Paris and Efting, I'll never understand why Eftling is in second place. Both parlks are absolutely delightful but Eftling is a theme park like no other. Every single detail is magical!

Efteling is actually in fourth place. The 2 disney parks are 1st and 2d, with Germany's Europa-Park on 3.

This park was actually built before the original Disneyland!

[@talithasuzanne1824]

I love your Dutch pronunciation, as a Efteling fan myself I'm super happy to see the park featured on your channel. I've been watching your channel for years, so seeing my favorite park featured on your channel is absolutely amazing.

[@woutsebastiaan]

I love how you put the fairytale forest at #1. It's the absolute heart and soul of the efteling. My grandma lived close to the efteling so we went frequently growing up. It never fails to put a smile on my face!

[@BTim1984]

Living in Belgium, Efteling is only an hour's drive from me and one of my absolute favorite parks ever. Its theming, its storytelling, its music, its sense of bewonderment is off the charts. I even got an annual pass for it. I'm very glad to hear you had a great time there, despite the language barrier 😄 I'm also a bit sad knowing you were there and I could've met you, however! 😉

[@musikpilz770]

Watched quite a few reviews of Efteling in the last couple of month but this one takes the cake, very fun, catches the charm very well, makes me wanna go there again this very moment ♥

[@TPMvids]

Thank you so much for that! I had so much fun visiting the park and putting this video together😁

[@mellchiril]

I'm glad about Sprookjesbos's position. It's charm is often overlooked by foreign visitors, but it really is one of the most fun things to do at the park. The tradition in our family is that no trip to the Efteling is complete without Droomvlucht. Whatever else we might miss doing while we're there, Droomvlucht has to be done.

[@evelyne7843]

Droomvlucht and de vliegende hollander has been renewed quite recently! Droomvlucht got new lighting and repairs and de vliegende hollander got a new scene. Its the scene with all the big statues inside! Great video!

[@T2211D]

Oooh, I noticed when I went there yesterday! It was really good!

[@girlsvdwk1149]

The efteling was and still is a tradition in my family and i always love going there. This brought up so many emotions. Btw i really liked him saying the dutch names in English without translating it.

[@ShadowVoltzzz]

What a charming and whimsical looking theme park! Seems like a lot of fun. Kudos to Europe for having a really unique looking vacation spot.

[@glykera]

It's an absolute delight! So many other great attractions that didn't make the list. For example an authentic fantastic steam carousel from the early 1900s. It's fast and fun and beautiful, and will ruin every other carousel for you 😀

[@SuperDutchjohn]

@@glykera The steam caroussel is actually from 1898, the steam machine used in it that is!

[@BrokenFingerParadise]

I got to number 2 and started to worry you'd put Python at number 1! Efteling is probably my favourite park I've visited so far, so charming and unique. Great video!

[@TPMvids]

Lol I was really impressed with how smooth Python was but since it had zero theming, it did not deserve a spot on this list😅

[@jumpingpiggie422]

@@TPMvids Fair point, however as a small honorable mention i would like to add Python was the largest steel coaster in Europe when in opened in the 1980's. It also has some other cool trivia and used to be a staple in the park and the country, although it was a somewhat rigid ride until they renovated the coaster some years ago. It is smoother now and still is a crowd-pleaser, but again you're right... it lacks in theming where the rest of the part mostly excels in.

[@kes4altijd]

I've been going to Efteling for my whole life, as an normal guest and also as a annual pass holder. Fata Morgana has always been my favourite. The music blasting through the speakers, the smells, everything you get to see and the excitement I always felt as a child when entering the ''forbidden'' and dangerous part of the ride. A perfect start of your day at Efteling!

[@Osreek4]

I have been there before with my Dutch family. So seeing as I’m British, this was an amazing experience. But I did have the luxury of having a translator on the rides!

[@lanabrussel2882]

omg, as a dutchie i’m very proud of eftelings recognition it gets, thank you!! ❤️

[@sylvievanhout8706]

Fun fact: the Indian water lilies (de Indische waterlelies) was written by the late Belgian queen Fabiola, especially for the Efteling for their 15 year anniversary.

[@TrojTV]

Written by Fabiola; yes. Especially for the efteling; no. The fairytale was opened for the 15th anniversary but not written for the Efteling. Queen Fabiola wrote it with 14 other fairytales that were bundled and published in 1955. The attraction in the efteling opened in 1966.

[@sylvievanhout8706]

@@TrojTV I knew about other fairytales from her, but I was always told that one was for the Efteling. But if I was misinformed about that part, than I stand corrected!

[@heidibrown3854]

When we were stationed in Europe in the 80s, my family would often go to The Efteling and the neighboring safari. One of my hopes is that more theme parks would incorporate the talking trash cans. They can theme them however they like, but I remember trying to pickup trash faster than anyone else to have the magical trash can whisk it out of my hands!

[@sienhuybrechts3709]

I am from the dutch part of Belgium, so de Efteling is not that far away. I love the park a lot! I have so much respect for you trying to pronounce the names in Dutch, its not easy and i think you did very well. I do have some opinions about the rides i would like to share tho :) Fata morgana is a really fun dark ride and it feels very authenitic, i would have liked a drop after you see the big Jinn tho. Would have made it better. I always miss it when I'm on the ride. De droomvlucht was closed for a while and it was necessarry. The rain didnt work for a long time and there wasnt water anymore where the trolls are 'playing' I haven't been on it since its back open so i hope to be able to ride it soon! My favorite ride is Villa Volta, I think it has everything. Great story telling, an animatronic and a little bit of 'thrill' (de barron also has all of this but it feels les authentic i think) I understand you do have to speak Dutch to know what the story is tho. Thank you for making this video, i really enjoyed it!

[@Auroraxot]

The reason why some of the animatronics in Fata Morgana are a bit janky is because these animatronics are all made by hand. Fata Morgana was the first attraction ever with these kind of animatronics. There is a documentary about it, so interesting! Soon it will be closed en they will be "fixed" again 😊. Love your video!

[@mbeemsterboer3776]

I'm Dutch and I love the Efteling, it is my favorite themepark in the Netherlands, I love the darkrides the most and you can easely go to this park for a couple of days if you want to see and do everything. I do understand that foreign people call this the Dutch disney, but this park is unique and different and not like disney! But thank you for this video, I'm glad you made this about the Efteling ❤

Very happy to see a video about my favourite park! My personal favorite attraction here is De Vliegende Hollander/The Flying Dutchman.

Also, your Dutch pronunciations were quite good if I may say so!

[@Nitzpitz]

Great video! You managed to capture the magic of Efteling, even if there is so much more to explore in the park.

[@betty20s]

The thing I love most about the Efteling compaired to Disneyland is that it feels less like they want to rob you of all your money. I understand both parks are businesses but in Disneyland you’re always tempted to spend more money on stuff like skipping lines while the Efteling feels more sympathetic in that way.

[@helena19741]

That's because Efteling has no shareholders, the money they make goes back into perserving the park. That is also the reason it is still affordable because they want everyone to be able to visit the park.

[@ao9688]

I want to go here so bad! Definitely a bucket list location!

[@bananad9659]

This theme park looks AMAZING!!! That should go on my list of theme parks to visit someday, including all of the Disney theme parks outside the USA.

[@SienAppelsien]

As someone who has visited this all her life, if you get the chance to come to europe, do it!! Its a gorgeous park with both rides and activities for the kids and great thrill rides for the bigger kids (us coaster enthusiasts). Its amazing!! Other parks nearby that I'd definitely recommend are Europa Park and Phantasialand in Germany. I consider these three the holy trinity of european parks. Theres also Toverland, bobbejaanland, plopsaland and movie park germany, but theyre all smaller and less of a themed experience than these three, but still pretty fun! I hope you can visit one day and enjoy this magical experience

I freaking love Efteling! Got to go once in spring of 2017, I'm so sad I just missed the opening of Symbolica! De Vliegende Hollander is my favorite ride, but I have to admit I'm a little sad Villa Volta wasn't on the list lol. It's the only ride of that type I've ever been on and it tripped me out! Still, I love to see Efteling getting some solid recognition! I want to go back so badly, but I can barely afford a trip to DIsneyland these days, much less the Netherlands, as beautiful as they are.

Also… when in the sprookjesbos, listen or sit on the mushrooms (not drug related 😂)

Cool to see "our" Efteling featured here. Glad you had fun. It's a great park for sure. Python was my first real rollercoaster when I was a kid (I'm 43 now). They just pretty much rebuilt it. I wish they had just had a farewell ceremony and replaced it with something better-themed. Baron is by far my favorite ride. I still like Sheikra better because of the scale, but the theming on Baron is excellent! They're building "Dance Macabre" right now, looks to be another winner. And the theme song is such a great classical piece. Compliments on the Dutch pronunciation by the way. I know how hard Dutch words can be for somebody who natively speaks English. And I'm totally stealing your "Holle Bolle Gijs". Sounds way better when you say it. 🤩

[@somebody4763]

As a Dutch person, my top 10 is: 10. Gondoletta 9. Villa Volta 8. Python 7. Fata Morgana 6. Vogel Rok 5. De Vliegende Hollander 4. Baron 1898 3. Symbolica 2. Joris en de Draak (fun fact: the dragon named Edna used to breathe fire when the fire train passed by, and water shot into the air as the water train passed by. I have no idea why they removed that) 1. Droomvlucht However, this can change very quickly and over the years I've been confused many times by my own top 5. And that's not even counting the shows and the rides that are currently being built or changed. All the rides in this park are simply amazing and enchanting in their own way. And I also want to give an honorable mention to Diorama, a really impressive miniature city. Oh and by the way, Symbolica is kind of the main ride of the park as it revolves around the mascot and is in the center of the park. In my opinion, it is the most magical ride of them all, and that is a good thing because it was also the most expensive ride to build for Efteling. I could go on and on and edit my comment because I know so much about the park and want to express my love for it, but then I'll be writing until tomorrow XD
