- Join me as I head to my next park on American Coaster Enthusiast's Journey to Central Europe @ridewithace trip! This visit takes me to Efteling @efteling (Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands), one of the most amazing fairytale-themed parks in the entire world. This park boasts countless unique dark rides, including Symbolica, Dreamflight, and Fata Morgana. It also features numerous state-of-the-art roller coasters, including Baron 1898 and Joris en de Draak (which is not featured in this vlog, but is a fantastic dueling wooden coaster!). The overall theme of this park is what sets it aside from the rest, and this should be a bucket list park to visit for any theme park enthusiast!

Villa Volta was the first Mad House for themeparks world wide. So every other Mad House is inspired by this instead of the other way around.
Fata Morgana is based on the tales of 1001 nights, which are like the ride, dark in tone. The stories feature beggars, thieves, wizards, magnificent creatures and djinns (what you called a giant troll). It is not a Pirates of the Caribbean clone, other than also being a boat ride. Villa Volta was the first mad house attraction of its kind in the world, though many more of its kind have popped up in other parks since. Vogel Rok is not a vulture, but a legendary giant bird from the tales of 1001 nights. De Vliegende Hollander is based on the legend of the ghost ship the Flying Dutchman.
@@Imaculata Neat! Appreciate the insight 👍
Nope, Villa Volta the kind of attraction was in Bobbejaanland. There was a house that went in cirlces and you sat the same as in Villa Volta. And I am speaking now about 35+ years ago.
It's still the first vecoma mead house ever builds. They similar attractions existed which is true didn't mean they are the same thing.
@@OJvdH You are right. I thought the thing it self, movement etc. But in a way it is something completly different.
@@laramaaike3050Nope. The first madhouse in the world was Villa Volta, being built in 1996
Almost nothing is based of disneyland or something in america. You keep saying that but its not true, good footage tho!
@@Marijnloe I'm not too well traveled outside of the American parks, so I didn't have too much to go off of. I'll do a little more advanced research next time on the attractions in some of these beautiful European parks.
Glad you enjoyed the footage!
@@thecbv Its all good! Keep it up, enjoy your day
Efteling's Sprookjesbos opened in 1952, a couple of months (may 31, 1952) before Madurodam opened (juli 2nd,1952). Walt Disney was on study trip in Europe (several of those from 1952>1955 in the light of designing Disneyland) He visited Madurodam on one of the first days of it's opening. This is well recorded in the archives. There was no record of it, that he had visited Efteling has well. However, his days in the Netherlands were extreme hastily, and shortly after he sent back his first park designer Ken Anderson, to make an in depth study of Madurodam. It is my belief that Ken actually ALSO visited Efteling. Due to the striking fact that afterwards, Disney decided to RE-theme the projected castle in DL as a "Sleeping Beauty" one, with a walkthrough inside telling the story (juli 14th, 1955). It was exactly what Efteling had done in 1952, with the very first simple animatronics inside the castle, the forced perspective trick etc. (Got more complete history on Walt's design inspiration trajectory.)
De Vliegende Hollander is The Flying Dutchman; based on the legend of the Dutch ghostship 😉
So you are actually mistaken. A lot of the older stuff like Fata Morgana was there before Disney ever implemented Pirates. Actually mr. Walt Disney payed a visit a long time ago to get inspiration for Disneyland, but also a lot of other themepark experts came to get inspiration.
Efteling is way older than people think ;) Hope you enjoyed your stay tho.
@@JaceNLD Neat! Appreciate the clarification!
You are completly wrong. Pirates (the original one in California) was opened in 1967, Fata Morgana was opened in 1986. You're probably thinking about the one in Paris which was opened in '92.
@@DaveJansenTPVstill Disney got its inspiration from Efteling 😊
@@Eftelgek368 Again, this also isn't true. This is an urban legend. There is no documentation of this anywhere.
@@DaveJansenTPV oh ok 👍 😁
Python was one of the first big rollercoasters in NL. It was special enough, so didn't had a lot of theming at the time.
Eventually lots of themeparks started with big rollercoasters and Efteling had the choice to go along with that, or go back to beauty and theming. They choose the last.
Carnival festival ride Great and hilarious? Beautiful park. New subscriber.
@@LisasLife Thank you, I've went ahead and followed back! ☺️
@@thecbv 🥰
Efteling is STUNNING❤❤❤ Lovely Video! Cheers from Germany🇩🇪
@@sasch.tastisch Cheers, thank you!!
Its a shame you missed the fairytale forrest, but a great vlog
Nice video! Great footage of the park. Hope to go there some day soon 🎢
Such a pity your music choice for the Fata Morgana ride totally doesn't match the ride's vibe. As does the music you chose for Dream Flight. While the original scores match them perfectly and will not get blocked (as you should know as an enthusiast). And yes you found out Efteling doesn't sugar coat (Disneyfy) every fairy-tale. It sticks much closer to the original storylines. And is therefore much/a little darker.
@@rmyikzelf5604 Dang and I thought my music choice for Dreamflight was pretty dang good 😂 but yes, the overall tone of some of the rides was definitely darker than I'm accustomed to.
I aggree totally. But the wording "darker" is rather total nonsense. If it was said "lifelike-realistic" , AND "atmospheric match", it would be a lot better 🙂
I can see that the "MUZAK style" floodover of music in the whole video, was done out of fear that the video would have been refused by youtube's IP rights BOTS
I do a lot of videos on music performances, and I know that most of the music is allowed to be re-used, if NOT monetised in publicity income. THAT is the deal ! :-)
You guys are so obsessed with pirates of the Caribbean its getting annoying.... Not every darkride with boats is inspired by pirates....
Unfortunately for you this one literally IS inspired by Pirates.
The Efteling Imagineers told this on camera in the Fata Morgana documentary!
Its Middle east and its much much older than pirates of the carribean.
Agreed. It's like he didn't know Pirates were around before Disney made the film.
Do some research bro over the fata morgana its inspired tho be a soet of smal city
@@ZeNN-Music That is correct. But not "literally" > wrong word insert.
"Inspired" = correct. Not "copy" or "rip off", which would be the implication of that word: 'literally'... . :-) :-) Inspiration means that the thinking and design proces started AFTER visiting Pirates of the Caribean. (Anaheim) >> Please check the word "inspiration" in the dictionary. The whole evolution of ART in the world (thousands of years) resides on a mix of 'inspiration' and 'creativity'.
The project however encompasses a completely different theme, execution (design style) and mood. There exist several PotC rip-offs (just blunt bad and shameless copies) in theme parks around the world, like the one in Europa Park.. lol ... Efteling's Fata Morgana is NOT one. The theme foundation is the world of 1001 nights Arabian stories, and the design style is an ADAPTATION by designer Ton van de Ven , on the much older drawings of Anton Pieck from his travels to Morocco. Those drawings were picturing real life street scenes he met in Morocco (in the 1950-ies < onwards) They were never meant to be used for any theme park, but Ton van de Ven got also INSPIRATION (.. lol) out of those. (I met Ton van de Ven, about one year before he died)
Flying Dutchman
If a puppet of a Jinn gives you nightmares, I fear for your mental health 😂
@@rmyikzelf5604 I have already had 10 nightmares of said Jinn. My life has never been the same 😂
@@thecbv 🤣
HAHA, I also thought so !!!! :-) (By the way , spelling is Djinn) :-) :-)
HAHA , Villa Volta > "nothing new there" .. It is what you can say from all others, not Villa Volta. Efteling made up the total concept for this ride, the whole experience. To work out their concept, Vekoma accepted to develop the technology, the machine, but under one condition : that Vekoma got the rights to sell and build the machine also to other parks. So, that's what happened. In reality those other parks use an Efteling experience concept, through a Vekoma machine. There was a wave of those shortly after Efteling introduced it, then a slow down and the last ever built was in 2011. Mack Rides copied the concept with a slightly different machine. (Still unsure this was a patent rights breach or not...)
