    That wasn't a theme park ride - that was a work of art. My wife and I visited Efteling for the first time last year in April 2023. We came all the way from America just to experience this park, and it did not disappoint. My only regret was seeing the construction, but not getting to experience Danse Macabre yet. Guess we'll be going back.

    There’s theme parks. Then there’s Efteling. They never take the easy route, and always do something completely different. I had no doubt this was going to be special. Watch other park wholesale copy this attraction now! Great work as always 👍🏻

      You and I are in agreement on this friend. As someone who's very passionate about folklore mysticism and mythology , particularly faeries/Dionysus/Romani mysticism in particular who's been studying these subjects ever since I was 7 years old, and I'm freshly 40 years as of 10/24 I'm in LOVE with the nature/philosophy of this entire park. I've been begging my family to trade multiple trips to Disney World for a visit for close to two decades now. Have you by chance had the privilege to visit the park as of yet? I really hope so, because even though we've never met before I feel like you deserve to go there friend and have yourselves a beautiful time . Unfortunately the distance from Maryland and Delaware is the sole reason that I've never been able to talk my family into a visit . In my opinion Efteling>Disney World or Hell any of the Disney parks. The only one that could give Efteling a proper run for its money is Disney SEA and still based on the subject matter of both parks, I'm gonna give the win to Efteling.
      One other thing before I forget, has anyone who's been to Efteling ever checked out the Enchanted Forest Park in I believe it's in Oregon or one of the of the Pacific Northwest states) I'm not saying that it's on par with Efteling at all, but it has a very similar atmosphere/mood. Its a homemade park jam packed with details for those that love immersion in their parks. I could be wrong since I've not been to either, but if you check it out, I think you'll understand what I'm talking about

      Hey brother I think that I've mentioned it already in a previous video of yours, that if you should ever be back here to the US then you should run on by to Ocean City Maryland. The end of z boardwalk has 2 different parks. Jolly Rogers isn't much, but Trimpers is a whole different thing. It's historic rides are full of charm and VVonder! The aptly named Haunted House is a dark ride (I'm pretty sure that in England that you would call it a Ghost Train) Anyways the Trimpers Haunted House was built in 1964 by none other than the greatest dark ride Legend himself Bill Tracy. And it's one of the very few surviving Bill Tracy attractions left in this world (out of the something like 70-80 rides that he created, but sadly only 6-7 are left now)
      Trimpers Haunted House contains the Bill Tracy stunts from 3 now defunct rides. It's an absolutely amazing ride and is almost definitely the longest haunted house dark ride in the US and perhaps the longest in z world at 6 minutes long (don't quote me on that longest in z world, as I've been wrong about some stuff sometimes)
      If you're aware of Bill Tracy's work already I apologize to thee friend,, but I've never been able to find out if there's been any Bill Tracy rides in other countries, so I thought I'd just be safe and mention it to give some context to those unfortunate enough to be uninitiated in the ways of good sir Mr, Billiam (HA!) Tracy.
      Anyways brother (and sister) I write this because I digg your videos and passion for parks, so I wanted to make sure that this ride doesn't go under your radar. This ride and I have a beautiful history as it was the very 1st Haunted House that I had ever been on, but that's not the only reason I brought it up, because it's truly the best traditional Haunted House dark ride in the world. It's straight up magic dear friends plain and simple. And over the last decade this ride has seen a whole lot of TLC, with plenty of updates that have blended seamlessly the old original stunts with more modern stunts as well as having one or two scare actors that they throw in there. Pure blacklight, induced psychedelic dayglow spooky mysterious masterpiece! I'm hoping that you'll get the opportunity to check it out for yourself sometime soon in the near future! And I forgot to mention that Trimpers also has a Bill Tracy walk through fun house called Pirates Cove Fun house (one of only 2 of his fun house in existence). I literally just remembered that you might have made a visit to Waldameers Park in Pennsylvania which contains the other Pirates Cove Fun house, as well as the Wacky Shack (a Bill Tracy dark ride that like Trimpers Haunted House is a psychedelic spooky masterpiece!)
      Sorry for how long this message is, but I hope you know that I'm only trying to help to introduce this ride to you two. Take care out there in this crazy ass world friends. Peace

      It's different because it's a beta of a new attraction that isn't purchasable yet for other parks.. Offcourse they will "copy" it's a spinning wheel that has a room full of decoration, it's not that special other than the amazing execution of the Efteling

      Efteling is some kind of a foundation, so all earnings going straight back in the park for maintenance, exploration, expansion and not to shareholders who drain liquid assets and increase ticket pricing.
      You could say how family businesses were runned in the good old days. If you don't have the assets it is impossible to create nowadays.

      So that’s just plain wrong, in the shop you can get a book (which I have) and in it is the story of Danes macabre, really good book btw but in the book they say that the cat with the eyes is a character called Florian who joined the unknown but he cast a reverse spell which made him die and his soul became part of the unknown and he is the cat

    I just love that accessibility concept - you can queue up with your group, have a synchronised but safe experience, and then exit with your group - that's such a brilliant way of including guests who can't be flung around in the main ride... Efteling really are setting the standard for all other parks.

      Eftelings accessibility is aimed at those with physical disabilities, primarily wheelchair users. Definitely not great for other forms of disability as rides whos queues are wheelchair accessible like Danse Macabre, don’t offer any alternative entrances for those that find queuing difficult. Other rides whos main queue isn’t wheelchair accessible requiring queuing in an alternative line for the same duration as the main queue. Definitely not accessible to people that struggle in queues or can’t stand for long periods but don’t use a wheelchair. Disney Paris or Europa park set the standard for accessibility not Efteling.

    Spookslot was actually the first attraction of its scale at Efteling. It had a huge impact on turning the park into a more full fledged theme park. Spookslot in 1978 and Python in 1981 probably were the largest contributors to shaping Efteling’s style of large (dark) rides and coasters.

But Fata Morgana, with all the in-house craftsmanship, business trips to Morocco and beautiful façade. And Fata Morgana was the biggest attraction at the time. And still, the scale is incredible. It’s a long darkride.

    Once again, great video Charlotte and Shawn recording this grande opening of a new (and already) iconic themed area and ride. When the Efteling announced to close Spookslot i was really unpleasant surprised and seeing it getting demolished it broke my Efteling heart. Hoped Kate Bush would have sung the opera part (as she can do it), she recorded a video there just after Spookslot opened. I think the circle would be closed when this would have happened... After 13 years she is recording music again! The Charlatans and the Efteling staff are playing good roles. They are part of the whole experience. Well done and thank you Efteling and (sub)contractors for making this possible. Looking forward for a new experience at Efteling!

    The excellent capacity is really welcome for Efteling, they've badly needed something to take pressure off at peak times. The Droomfluct renovations too is 10/10; really cements Efteling as the GOAT. Fingers crossed we see a similar plussing-up of one of their coasters (Vogel Rok?) next.

      Do know what you wish for .. all those US-based parks are shareholder based and run under a total different starlight. They will push out family owned busnisses out of competition and when they did they can up ticket pricing for a good old profit for the shareholders. Look what is happening in Florida. Currently € 436 for a 2-day Park hopper ticket ... smh

    Incredibly jealous. I liked how many touchstones they kept from Spookslot, like the dancing railings, too.

      A long time ago, on Friday the 13th in 1876, Conductor Joseph Charlatan and his orchestra performed the music: danse macabre during an international music concours in the Chapel. But after their magnificent performance they were all slaughtered by a monster called "the unnamable", wich still haunts the Chapel disguised as the little kitten. The spirits of Joseph and the orchestra were doomed to perform and when you ride "danse macabre", you get locked in the Chapel by acting efteling-workers (this is amazing), they wish you "good luck" and you get attacked by the unnamable. After that you watch another performance of Joseph Charlatan and his doomed orchestra, while you dance on the music. Also the ride is full of reused decoration/hints to the old spookslot show (the ride out of 1978, Yes the ""78 year in the story is a hint to the opening year of spookslot, replaced by danse macabre). I hope the story is clear for you now.
      Sincerely your Dutch Efteling fan/translator of the story
