  • Join me as I visit Efteling for the first ever time! This is my first reaction vlog! Riding rides such as Baron 1898, Droomvlucht, Symbolica and Joris en draak! These rollercoasters and rides were insane and I’m so glad I got to experience the park for the first time! I will return in future for the AMAZING new ride Danse Macabre and to get on the rides we missed out on and that were closed.

    I've grown up with this park and have visited every year as a kid. Took a year pass with friends during college and have kept it ever since. There's just something special to me about this park, Fata Morgana is my absolute favourite! Sad yu didn't get to do everything, but that means you definitely have to come back! Hope yu'll enjoy Danse Macabre, we're also looking forward to it!

    For a lot of Dutch "De vliegende Hollander" is their favourite Efteling ride. Because of the amazing theming. Cool waiting line and indoor part and watercoaster in 1. If you ever get to try it just read the story about the ride first if you want to understand the indoor part. It's very dark in there. It has the best themed waiting line in the park. But the waiting line for the new ride Dance Macabre will be better I think. That ride is going to be epic. It has a new ride system that has never been done before in the world. Creepy!!

    Yey! De Efteling❤❤❤ I went here in February and I loved it albeit was gutted to miss out on Joris en Draak and the water coaster that were both closed, but overall had an amazing time and fell in love with the charm and beauty of this park - will definitely be back, the only suggestion to make it a perfect park would be to add another couple of thrill rides for us thrill seekers

  • @StepsOfStPhilips
    @StepsOfStPhilips Před 26 dny

    I am so jealous. A first trip to Efteling is something magical. And you kind of understand the language after a while … after Friesian (which is spoken by roughly nobody), Dutch is the closest language to English.
    My tip is to imagine you’re listening to someone speaking English in a heavy Dutch accent (and the North Brabantian accent is as heavy as it gets) and you will understand about 1/3 of it without knowing anything about the language.

    The entrance building is called 'huis van de 5 zintuigen' which means 'house of the 5 senses'
    The story of Symbolica is that you are visiting King Pardulfus. However, Pardoes (the mascot and the guy at the entrance) has other plans. He wants to show you all of the secrets of Symbolica

    Efteling is amazing. Went foe the first time last year with my 2 daughters who were obsessed. Max and Moritz is amazing even and the youngest went on that about 15 times in the 3 days we were there. If you can get on Python at the front next time then that's a whole different experience

    It is always fun to see people going to Efteling for the first time. For most of us Dutch this will happen when we are a toddler or first grader. Either with parents or on a school trip. I have seen the park evolve since the early 70's amd it has become one of the best parks in Europe.
    My only real issue with the park is that it is still very "just Dutch". I always hear from channels like yours that storylines are hard to follow. Especially with Efteling exclusives (people of Laaf for example_ this could do with better signage.Yes there is some but hardly anything about stories and such. Do they already have audiotours in English as I was told that would be a thing and that was a while ago (few years)

I would suggest not coming during the weekend and a school holiday in may, june or spetember. Just look at the website of the park they have a good indication on how busy the days are.
