Probably my favourite little thing about Baron is that the final line (Hoogmoed komt voor den val) is a pun. 'Hoogmoed komt voor den val' means 'pride comes before the fall' (I believe that's the English version? Correct me if I'm wrong) The owner of the mine is called Gustave Hooghmoed. In a figurative sense, our pride, going into the mine despite having been warned, has caused our downfall. In a literal sense, Gustave Hooghmoed is the reason we end up plummeting down a mineshaft, probably to our death, so Hooghmoed literally came before the fall!
You are wrong about one thing: Kumbak breached contract on De Vliegende Hollander. CSM made the Track, Intamin the Lifthill, a local company from Brabant made the trains and Efteling did the software in-house after Kumbak breached contract. So, Technically the coaster isn't much Kumbak at all.
Thank you for your watch and message the music is my bad (Hayley) I tripped over my words and actually didn’t mean to say composed I knew someone would notice hahaha
@bravetheadventuresss Yeah And the Kumbak thing, RCDB still list is as such, but Kumbak has breached contract before the lifthill was installed. So technically they did only the layout and Efteling finished everything else themselves.
I like your top 5 attractions in Efteling. I would do them in a different order tough but that is because when I was there last they were still building Dance Macabre. I was wondering I already get sick on a swing so do you get nauseous on Dance Macabre with all that spinning ? I heard more people worry about that. Did you stay in the Efteling hotel or in one of those houses you can rent and what would you advice to stay in ? I have been to Efteling multiple times but never stayed there and I am looking into staying at Efteling a couple of days with my family. They say Europapark in Germany is the best park in Europe but for me Efteling is the best park because of nostalgic reasons. One of you experienced Efteling as a child as did we on school trips, as a child Efteling was even more magical. Also the food options in Efteling are better then in other themeparks I noticed. I even seen people make vlogs only about what food they ate in Efteling. It seems you had a really nice time at Efteling and really appreciate the park for what it is. So will you be going back at one point.
Thank you for your kind words about our video - yea danse macabre is a real game changer, it is tough to describe as a ride as it is more like a performance! Both of us aren’t a massive fan of spinning rides like tea cups but danse macabre doesn’t have this feeling at all, the spinning is far slower and controlled and feels more like gliding. We did not stay in the Efteling hotel, choosing to stay in the Kaatsheuvel guest house a minute walk from the park, we have a seperate video taking you on a tour of this on our channel. We will definitely be returning to Efteling to experience the other seasons in this fabulous park. Thank you for your support, Hayley and Rob
Also, The music is played by the Orchestra, not composed. It is composed by Eftelings own composer Rene Merkelbach.
