As a person who has frequented many a dark ride at Disneyland for years, Efteling's rides have a wondrous childlike charm all their own. They often remind me of European stop-motion animations of fairy tales. Kudos to their designers and engineers. :)
I would never want this ride to end! Those floating cities in the stars - wow! I can only imagine how wide-eyed I'd be if I got to see this as a child.
It’s a very beautiful ride. I have been on it more than once. What you don’t notice in the video is that at the end you go in a kind of free fall down around that tree. Just like a kind of slow roller coaster. I love it.
Did you also know that: at the Castles scene at 0.53 that the spires of the castles rotate, move up and down and bend tot te sides. You van only see it wen you really look at Them.
that is not a free fall at all, a free fall is a roller coaster drop, during the drop there is no gravity. baron 1898 has a free fall, but droomvlucht not.
Expedition Theme Parks did a history video on this suspended dark ride attraction not too long ago, and he mentioned rumors that people thought of the attraction as a roller coaster when their vehicles spiral downward toward the ground level near the end of the ride experience, when really its not. Anyway, @MarcoWintjens, I'm glad you like it.
My all time favorite Efteling attraction! I could go on this a million times and I would probably still enjoy it. Also a fun fact: it smells like flowers inside the ride!
Amazing Dark Ride! This actually puts Disney to shame lol, it's got so much charm, and the sets are truly amazing. Loved the Star Tunnel too, best effect of that sort I've ever seen.
This has to be one of the best darkrides in the world, everybody can experience it in their own way and there is no real storyline. You just fly through a world of fairytales and dreams. I love it and great vid to show this world class ride to the rest of the world
Truly amazing!! Reminds me of darkness ride when I was a kid & the owners of the park were passionate about the effort they put into keep their dark ride like you were entering a whole other universe. As a kid it really felt magical!! Old school, but in the best possible way. Thank you so much for sharing this!! 💜💜💜
This video doesn't let you experience the wonderful smells at this attraction . It's just magical. Transports you to the world of Elves and Trolls, like in a dream.
That was otherworld like and beautiful. The music, the ambience everything was wonderful and very European. I enjoyed it a lot and would love to go on it someday!!
@Fluffy To Fit I really need to watch The Neverending Story again! Haven't seen it in forever. Watching this video and the latest season of Stranger Things made me wanna watch that movie again. 😁
Fond memories of a visit with the Rollercoaster Fan Club of GB in the 90s I nearly walked away from as was at a low point in my life...glad I stuck it out!
I stilllove it. Its the best and beautifullest themed ride i ever seen and rode. I hope they will never demolish that masterpiece of work. I already was really sad as i seen what they did in Epcot with imagination cause that also was such a beautifull Masterpiece.
Whoa...this is a Dream Flight. Absolutely beautiful!! Though I loved Disney's Dream Flight back in the day, this absolutely deserves the title! I don't know why, but I am especially partial to ceiling track rides. Thank you for filming this beautiful piece of art!
Lovely..... like being in the movie of dark crystal or lybrthans what's that 80s singer David Bowie or never ending story you are in the magical fantasy movie.
For everyone here not living in the Netherlands: come visit! The Efteling is a really fun and high quality theme park, and the most people that come love it. I have a funny story about Dream Flight. So, my dad, mom, brother and me went into this ride, and we wanted to sit in a vehicle together. The vehicles are officially for max 3 persons (i guess) but we tried it. I was on the side, but it was really, really tight. My legs where stuck and i could barely move. But you know, that's fine. Until there comes a part where the vehicle moves op and tilts. The weight of 3 persons pushes on me, And it really hurts. Good thing that this is a short lift, because i would be a pancake otherwise! Afterwards we can still laugh about it, of course, and we had a great day. I am a huge fan of this ride and the Efteling. So if you've read this whole comment: thank you and have a nice day!
Gorgeous scenery and dreamlike vistas. They could really benefit from a lighting change for the fairies. They have built some artistically supreme creations.
This ride soundtrack is so beautiful/ fun with a overall soothing ambiance. As a Disneyland, Anaheim fan I can say this is comparable if not better then some of there dark rides.
That area might look a bit shabby on purpose, to contrast the dream world within. On other rides, the builders pay a lot of attention to the entrance, the vehicles and even the waiting line, so that you slowly get drawn into a story. This ride is different. You get into an ordinary ski lift in an ordinary loading area, and a few seconds later you "wake up" in a fairy kingdom.
This is beautiful! If I was at this park I'd ride this often! It's like It's a Small World with better music and characters and such a relaxing atmosphere!
It is, I ride this at least once a week and it never gets boring. I even fell asleep once cause of the calm music and the ambient sounds/lighting, we went 7 times a row😌
@@moow950 that translates to "dromen met je ogen open" WIch is also the name of the making off for droomvlucht Wich I rrreeeaaalllyyy want to see but it's impossible to get my hands on...
Disney needs to bring back awesome dark rides like this one! Ride cars remind me of EPCOT's Horizons. This one is much cooler in that the cars rotate and build up some decent speed on that innovative spiral descent at the end -- a very cool section that gives an epic feeling to the action taking place in the center.
Efteling has a lot of dark rides! There's this one, Fata Morgana, Symbolica, Carnaval Festival (whichis geared more towards kids and is like an "It's a Small World" like ride and then there is a rollercoaster in the dark as well.

From what I've seen online, Efteling is the only non-Disney theme park I'd be excited to visit.
Check out Phantasialand as well
I live in the Netherlands and i gave been in the Efteling multiple times. The baron 1898 is also a great dive coaster!
Efteling,Europa park and phantasialand . I preferr over Disney paris anytime
@@jecopsz not sure if phantasialand should be included in that line-up
@@marc44444 i get why u say that .
but for me personally I do preferr phantasialand over disney paris .
But thats just personally
So hauntingly beautiful it gives me Labyrinth/ The Dark Crystal vibes
Yeet Skeet OMG SAME!! Those movies are my fave 😔😔
Kwasa my fave too
OMG ALMOST EVERYONE FORGOT THOSE MOVIES!! There my favorites too! Are you exited for the new Age of resistance series?
I can’t forget the scene in Labyrinth where Bowie is walking with upside down stairs and right side up stairs!
TheSOUNDMAN513 i love that scene. And it’s such a good song.

Oh
I have been on this ride like 20 times, it never gets old. I live in the Netherlands and the Efteling is amazing. My favorite scene is the planet one.
Not going to lie, this ride would probably be a blast while being high.
It is ;)
Agreed lol
Facts
Its in the Netherlands.....
Well… its in the Netherlands for a reason
Efteling is a lot like what Disneyland used to be in the 60s when there were a lot of dark rides that were not tied to any intellectual property
Jaime Quiroz I mean it is kinda like Peter Pan’s Flight
Tedious Totoro yeah it looks really cool
Efteling was there before disney was.

Beautiful Ride. Full of Pretty features and Colors. Please keep
This Video. I LOVE IT!!!!!
That attraction is still absolutely beautiful. When I'm in it, I just cry.

Reminds of the Horizons Ride back at Epcot Dang I miss that ride 😢
That looks beautiful! I’d ride that a million times!
This ride looks absolutely beautiful. Love da music
Those ride vehicles sort of remind me of the old Horizons at Epcot.
I was thinking the same thing XD
They are custom made for this ride. :)
YES
@@MaximDeDonder seems like it's a ski lift modified to rotate left or right

So amazing and so surreal!
this ride probably feels like your childhood story picture books coming to life. If only I could be a child again to experience this :,)
This ride is like both The Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan's Flight.
Plus Tiki room and Navi River.
Nope, can’t compare this to Disney.
No bruh. If the ride vehicles look similar doesn't mean it's like those rides. This one is completely different from both

Better not, since Disney is just gonna infected it with screens.

Master Knife they rotate slowly
There is Peter Pan's Flight too.
