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.

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!!

I just love that entrance so much. It's got the traditional thatch roof but it then turns it into something prehistoric, but also exotic and even somewhat lovecraftian.

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!

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)

@GibBoi69 Ай бұрын

As someone who goes to this park regularly i can say this park is the best for family's and friend

In terms of joris en de draak, both tracks get about as much airtime, water is in my experience the rougher one of the 2 but both are good and definitely my favorite

I'm 3 minutes into the video and I already love it 😂 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

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.

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.

22:54 Efteling is a Theme park with a capital T! .. not a rollercoaster park or thrill park, although they have some nice roller coasters as well.. but Theming is king.. Anyways, I do sincerly appologize that Flying Dutchman was closed because that's probably my favorite ride there.. I would advise you to come back for multiple days next time because you missed huge parts of the park by the looks of it..
