As part of the staff it's always nice to hear people say such great things about our service! If i speak from personal experience i always go to work with pleasure and seeing those happy guests really makes your day

Efteling, Europa, and Phantasia were the three best I’ve experienced in Europe, and all three require two days.

I see you still have Monsieur Cannibale in this video (the rotating pots). Since the beginning of 2022 it's been restyled in a Sinbad the Sailor style and renamed to Sirocco to fit more into the same theme as Vogel Rok. The ride itself also got a bit more intens, it's now supposed to represent Sinbad the Sailor who get's stuck in a storm half way the ride. Also next to Sirocco is a new children's water playground called Archipel. You should look it up if you haven't already done that. The new theme looks very cool and it's definitely better than it was before!

I really can't decide between Europa Park and Efteling for my favourite theme park, both are just amazing. Good review and keep up the epic upload schedule!

I prefer this park over Disneyland Paris. Its much more customer friendly. Prices are more resonable and you can even bring your own food and drinks if you like. Also its much greener and spread out. I can get really busy, especially in the summer, but it never feels as crowded as a Disney park. That makes just strolling around and take in the sights and sounds much more enjoyable than the stress a Disney experience can cause. The rides and theming are up there, in fact I would go as far to say that these are probably the best dark rides outside a Disney park you'll find anywhere. For an American audience the coasters are perhaps a bit underwhelming and on the shorter side, but its a nice mix of everything: A steel looping coaster, a woody, a darkcoaster, a water one, the B&M dive coaster of course and a family coaster. Its all just very authentic: The train is a real steam train, there is a real heritage steam merry-go round. A lot of the scenes in the Fairytale Forest are true originals, dating back to the 50's. It just feels real, if you like. It had famous "imagineers" that shaped the experience like the absolute legends Anton Pieck and Ton van de Ven. Mind you, the park is owned by its own foundation, so its fully independend and not owned by some anonymous mega corporation. You can really feel this effect in the overal friendliness and "easy-going"of the place and its a much less hardcore commercial experience since the park itself is in full control of everything.

I'd probably want to go here even without the handful of worthwhile coasters to ride, their dark rides and other scenic rides look that good. This is the kind of park I won't really mind having to walk a lot in since there's so much beautiful scenery. Glad to hear the food is good too (not that I thought it'd be bad), great review!

Wow, what a great looking park. They have a B&M dive coaster. I'd love to ride it. Cool. Looks like a lot of fun. They have some very creative staff there. Wow! Theme work is incredible. I love woodies. Thank you very .ugh for the video. Really enjoyed it.

Im going soon! Im so excited now; thanks to your review i know what to prepare for. :D

Another amazing review. You've been everywhere.

I’m heading to Europe on a family trip next year and only have one theme park day. And out of every park in Europe, and as a diehard coaster nut I had to choose Efteling. This park looks so beautiful and excellent theming, even if they don’t have the best roller coasters in the world the atmosphere and incredible dark rides speak so much more to me.

We are so excited to be getting to go to the Efteling this summer! 🧚🏼

Efteling is my homepark. Half a our away from my home. Next week i also want to visit this beautiful place

this park looks pretty unique! Good review of a good park!

Went to Efteling a couple of days ago and Joris, Vliegende and Baron were all closed (Baron because of high winds, but the first two because of annual maintenance), plus Danse Macabre and the Grand Hotel were in construction, so the front of the park felt like a construction site. Not gonna lie, the visit wasn't bad, the park was beautiful, very walkable, friendly staff, and had a good world class collection of family rides and attractions, but I really think the park loses a lot without those three main coasters - Halve Maen was my favorite ride there. I feel like Efteling is just this much from being the greatest park ever 🤏, but I think they're missing a thrill ride (not necessarily a roller coaster, but a thrilling ride, such as a drop tower like Falcon's Fury, since they love working with Intamin and add odd great rides hahaha). But yeah, can't wait to go back there!

As one of my home parks this review makes me smile!

I’m going to Efteling next week Wednesday!! I’m so exited

I am so excited to go to Efteling. My husband went there as a child and we are heading there in June.

Better than coaster studio’s review!

Great review👌🏻 hope I can get back soon

The park has a good coaster collection but mainly focuses on themeing and scenery. Efteling is definitely one of the most beautiful parks not just in Italy but in the world. As that is not really my thing and I prefer a good ride collection over anything. They still manage to gave that as well.

I think Vogel Rok is a bit misunderstood in most reviews. It's a 1001 theme where Sinbad get's picked up by the giant bird at night and flies him to his nest. The ride is supossed to simulate that nightly flight so you mostly stars, desert, other birds and a far away castle I believe. I actually like it because it's dark much like those dark (water)slides it gives you some extra thrill.

Very good review!

I haven't visited Efteling since the opening year of Symbolica because I always chose Walibi and Toverland over this. Because of your review I really want to go back as soon as possible XD. Great review and it's a beautiful park.

The perfect way to see the 'Gondeletta' boat ride is to look at it like a picknick area. Because lets say you're hungry and want a quiet place to eat and drink, but at the same time, you also want to see more of the park: enter Gondeletta, perfect for a picknick.

I’ve been to this park over a hundred times and i STILL can’t get tired of Vogel Rok and Joris en de Draak. Amazing 2 coasters, or should i say 3?

8:45 I think when you visited the show was half broken, normally there is a HUGE animatronic of a big dragon

This park looks absolutely AMAZING!!! Holy moly! This is a must-do for me!! Are there any parks in the neighboring vicinity that you would recommend if one was to go for a week or more?

Damm i didn't know you liked me homepark that much. Most coaster lovers vloggers just go good park nor my style bye. You do a realy nice and accurate discription of the park. I do wish that they would put 2 more thrill coasters in the park. The stc from vekoma would do very well in the park and a good double launcher. They could easily fit them in the expasion aeria between python/station east and the motorway.

When you talked about the benefits of staying at one of the Efteling hotels, that got me wondering if you've stayed at any of their hotels personally and which ones? P.S. Please do Phantasialand soon if not next.🙏

im from the nederlands, THIS IS A HUUUUGE RECOMENDATION, ife been there like 7 times and it is still fun

Would you Recommend Efteling or oToverland i care more about rollercoasters than theming but do like good theming and only really have time to do one of the parks

The Efteling is located in the Netherlands, not Holland. Holland is the name of two provinces from the Netherlands; North Holland and South Holland, but Efteling is located in North-Brabant, so not in Holland.

Good review; only issue I would take is the capacity on some attractions. Whilst they aren't bad per-se, rides like Baron barely achieve 7-800 per hour due to poor design. For a park of Efteling's popularity, that sort of figure just isn't good enough. Joris, unlike Wodan and Wicker Man, has seat belts - slowing down operations needlessly, and Die Vliegende Hollander has an odd seat configuration which fails to maximise capacity. Otherwise, most rides - including the dark rides and so on - all good.

Isn't Pagode from Vekoma?

Sounds like I need to go to Holland now

0:02 The theme park isn't in Holland, it's in North Brabant

Woow

Mini pancakes hahahaha, they are called poffertjes ;)

Any top-5 themeparks in the world list should have Efteling, Phantasialand and EuropaPark included, in any order. For amusementparks there might be better options, but overall experience and theming is superb, those should be in anyone's top 10 parks overall.

Can you imagine that the huge animatronic troll used to also shake the pillars it holds? Sadly it had to be disabled due to poor structural integrity over the years.

im from the netherlands and its my favorite park a half.hour driving from my house

6:08 before it was the bob slee (that was my fav)

Efteling is a very nice theme park. You have always a full experience for every attraction because off the good theming and the great music. And the food is also pretty good indeed. Good review!

Spookslot is now sadly removed. It was a true classic and one of the park's oldest attractions :(

I think the rapid ride was one of the first in the world or at least in Europe

Halve maen needs to be mentioned it is the biggest swinging ship in the world!

Efteling is not in Holland, but amazing review!

Did you watch Theme Park Avenue's YTP about you?

I know it’s different for me being a local, but I actually don’t really like this park as much anymore, I’m actually rooting a lot more for Toverland, because although some theming can be considered outdated or even bad, they actually have the complete package, all kind of rides, indoor and outdoor areas, great expension plans and possibilities, and for me one of the most important parts, great service. For me the service is way better than the Efteling, might be a unpopulair opinion.

"a dutch coin" this most certainly exist and is definetly not called a euro which is used in other parts of europe. that would be ridiculous for a euro to exist.

Spookslot is unfortunately closed as of last month and will be demolished soon.

Im pretty sure that Efteling is not in holland...

The park was in 2006 a very mediocre with great atmosphere but outdated rides and slow operations. They were order on magnitudes better than the parks in Israel but Europe park in 2008 was a league or two above, and I guess the better German/French/Spanish/English parks are also better. They did not have the dive coaster, the flying Dutchman was in construction, the wooden coaster did not exists yet-they had a junior wooden coaster which could by nice but lacked height and speed. I think some of the dark rides also were different Happy to see they got much improved. Still I think they do not deserve their hype. This park is very good for families and younger people. Do you think its better than Walibi?

col.

Efteling is not located in Holland

I rather choose Efteling: 1,5 hour car ride above Walibi Holland which it's an hour cycling from my house😂

I like Efteling more than Disneyland in Paris.

Problem, Efteling isnt in Holland, its in Brabant! Because remember Holland =/= The Netherlands :P - A Dutchie from a different province than Holland

Papier hier = paper here so not garbage that has to go in the🚮 We recycle our garbage 😉

I honestly dont like Efteling as much as Walibi or Toverland. I find the coasters in both of those Parks a lot better, if you come for theming and darkrides Efteling will be your favourite.

I know you do not like them, but for all the rest: the giant pirate ship is amazing! The carnvial prize/skill games are also very enjoyable with cute prizes, employes and atmosphere. I found the fairy tale section boring compared to Disney parks, in particular the terrible panda ride. Most seem very dated and lack the magic of Disney

You say Hollands best Park but it's not even in Holland. It's in brabant And you show 2 short clips of the maze and monsieur cannibale teacups. The maze in gone for the 2022 season and is now a water play areay The teacups are now called Sirocco and are themed the sindbad the Saylor Vogel rock is also from the story of sindbad making it a full area

1:48 do Europeans not find this offensive lol

I personally don't think efteling is the best, I think toverland has the overall better look and skyline, but walibi holland has by far the best coaster collection not only in netherlands but the world

PLS DONT CALL IT HOLLAND FOR GODS SAKE

Had a comment posted, then YT 🪛 me over
