EFTELING FIRST EVER VISIT | Discovering a MAGICAL Theme Park | Day 1 Vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- The first stop on my tour around the Netherland is at Efteling. A magical Theme Park that many people rate as one of the best in the world. So join me as I experience everything that this amazing theme park has to offer. I'll take you on the rides with me so you get to hear my first reactions via on-ride POV's to Baron, Python, The Flying Duchman and all the other coasters as well as my thoughts on the dark rides as soon as I've ridden them.
This is the day 1 vlog, in Day 2 we adventure in to the Fairytale forest and much more. That vlog will be out soon.
There is also a travel vlog, already on the channel showing how we traveled around between Eftling, Toverland and Walibi Holland.

Efteling isn't about the fastest or highest rides; it's more about the experience. They've nailed that (and that's coming from somebody that doesn't like theme parks)
I love the fact you could take your whole family and there’s something for everyone to enjoy and do, they’ve got it perfect 🙌
I agree, but it still has fantastic rides.
I've been to plenty of parks throughout Europe and nothing beats the Efteling when it comes to atmosphere.
You can spend all day inthere without going on any rides and you're still going to have a wonderful day.
@@likilikiki it’s the kind of park I’d never get bored of visiting
I had a yearpass in my 20's and that's exactly what we did in the weekends. Get in the car, drive 20 minutes and just walk around in the efteling. Take a ride if its not busy. Good times.
Love to see people from other country's enjoy the efteling 😇
Magical place! So friendly too ☺️
I’ve been there 15 times and it is still fun 😅
@@Jeboilarsi I feel like it’s the kind of park you could go to every week and never get bored of it 😂🎢 thanks for watching ☺️
Same! Every dutchie is proud en
Same
As a carpenter i help to build up the Droomvlucht and the hotel.
Funfact about the droomvlucht is that if we didnt fix a problem at the end of it everybodys head would cut off so your welcome to be still alive LOL
Hope you guys had a lot of fun.
Oh wow, I’m glad you fixed that, I like having my head attached 😂
@@CoasterGiant1 😆😆😆
The efteling is part of my Childhood or maybe even my entire life. ive been there countless times, as a small child with my (Grand-) parents, with school day trips, with friends, with my own kids and i hope some day with my grandchildren. i think i went there between 50 to 100 times. everytime is magic, it doesnt matter you are 5, 10, 18, 50 or 70 years old.
My Number one park in europe. this is how a theme park should be.
Totally agree, I love how much the Efteling appears to be such a special place to so many people.
@42:52 The steam carrousel is quite old, it dates from 1895.
I love that they look after, a proper classic!!!!
The Python lifthill is running slow when two trains are on track, when there is only one train on track, the lift keeps the speed at which he picks up the train. This is to give the station more time to load.
That’s so much better than sitting on the break run waiting for the other train to leave the station.
I love how the Python is like a giant spine you're riding.
It looks so good, especially on front row! It’s a very cool, old school coaster, still shocked how smooth was. Cheers for watching ☺️
Never understand these coaster fanatics looking for airtime and skipping D'Halve Maen (swinging ship). imo You don't get more airtime than on that ride (if you sit in the back seats). I was 12 when Phyton opened in 1981. It was the biggest thing in Europe at the time. I've ridden it 100's of times.
I love a swinging ship, in-fact most flat rides 😂 we did that on day 2, I think it’s the biggest swinging ship I’ve ever seen!
@@CoasterGiant1 Halve Maen was the biggest Pirate ship in the world upon opening, able to seat up to 85 people. It no longer holds this title nowadays, as Meisho Amusement Machines Super Viking (Meisho product) seats 96 people.
All those loud screams gives me RCT1 and RCT2 flashbacks.❤
33:10 right across the plaza there is Bäckerei Kruml, the best food location of the Efteling, great breadpizza, pie and other lunch options.
I’ll remember this for next time, we did have great food on day 2 though.
This was worth the wait! Loved to see you're first reaction on the rides. Im looking forward to see the other videos!
✨🍄
Hopefully you won’t have to wait too long until you can see yourself on TV ☺️
I did not remember Python being that intense... 😅 excellent vlog! 🥰🥰
On the front you really felt the rest of the train pushing you into them loops!
Fun fact:
The efteling houses the world's oldest still functional and in use carousel.
They look after it so well!
I loved seeing this vlog, you did a great job of capturing your experience at the park. As someone who loves the Efteling, watching this made me feel like I was there :) I can't wait to visit the park later this year when their new ride is finished!
Hi, glad you enjoyed it, I loved making it. I’ll hopefully start working on the vlog from day 2 soon ☺️ I’m tempted to go back this year for the new ride too. Thanks for watching
Not only the park and your experience is fun to watch at, so are you! Keep up the good work. You're doing great!
Arrrrr thank you very much ☺️
That carrousel palace was built in 1956. So yeah it's actually old, not just looking old haha. I love they kept it all this time.
I love it when parks preserve and look after their heritage. Thanks for watching ☺️
@@CoasterGiant1 Then you would probably find it interesting that the actual merry-go-around in the palace is even alot older (though they did change the steamengine to an electric). That one dates back from somewhere in the late 1800, early 1900. One if not the oldest operational merry-go-arounds: "The Vermolen molen" from 1865 also residents in the Efteling but that one is one of the outdoor ones.
@@halomaster116 that’s crazy, love it when places look after old stuff
The fun part is that the female singer you here in "De Baron" is one of the best Dutch female singers called "Anneke van Giersbergen" who was in the band called "The Gathering". Now she's doing solo stuff and projects with other singers and musicians.
Amazing voice!
Hah, I was hoping this comment would be here. I'm not surprised to see your profile picture :D
@@selenenocturne9772 Hello Ayreonaut! 🤘
8:30 So the story of Symbolica is this: Pardoes is living in a magic castle where he is both the king's jester and wizard (and isn't that just a recipe for hilarity?). The king's boring chamberlain wants you to obey a long list of rules during your audience with the king but Pardoes then uses his magic to make the visit a lot more fun and shows you all the rooms of the castle.
I still haven’t got over how good this ride is! So happy that Pardoes was there to show us a good time 😂 thanks for watching ☺️
@@CoasterGiant1 So am I, I just came home today after three days of Efteling :)
@@Johnny-Thunder sounds like 3 days of bliss! 🙌
@@CoasterGiant1 It certainly was!
Loved this so much! I know I’m biased due to being an Efteling die hard but this video was brill! Captured an amazing day so well 👏🏻
Easy to make a good video when you’re just having the best time in a park!
You have to come back. This year they are opening a hauntedhouse and i can assure you it wil be awesome! The track of Joris is fully replaced. Piranha is in maintenance.
I can even give a transnation for the madhouse, if you want it. No fairytail Woods? Can show you Baron by night and the watershow in the dark😁😊
I’m 100% planning to come back, when the new ride opens. I better the water show is so much better in the dark too ☺️
Excellent vlog Matt! You should be so proud of this one.
Your reactions to rides are so brilliant too haha. Can't wait to see part 2 and the rest of your trip!!
Thanks Mr World of Thrills ❤️ what was your fave coaster at Efteling?
@@CoasterGiant1 it has to be the Flying Dutchman! What about you?
@@WorldofThrills I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for my rankings video 😜
It’s the small details for me that makes it magical. If you know what I mean 😊
So funny to see a non-Dutch person reviewing the Efteling experience! 😁 Lovely video!
Funny in a good way? 😂 thanks, glad you enjoyed it…….you’ll get to see my reaction to the Fairytale Forest in the next vid ☺️
@@CoasterGiant1 Yes, in a good way! Looking forward to your next vid.
Would you say the wooden coaster (Joris & De Draak, the GCI coaster) was more intense than the Python?
@@Lotte.Macchiato I think the forces on Python are more intense on the inversions, but overall because the GCI is longer and just crazy I’d say that’s slightly more intense.
About Python, it got retracked a year ago as well but in this instance they didn't just retrack it, but they recalculated the whole coaster while maintaining the impact you spoke about in the front row; It's so much smoother now than before the retrack but it's still a solid coaster.
Genuinly loved it, did a back row on the second day, think that was even more intense than the front row.
Bad news about how time flies. It was already 6 years ago in 2018. We are getting old :(
The droomvlucht is using a very old techniek with wood schaped circels turning around. And with wires to move the muppets arms etc.. Worked there and the simple bud so good teckniek. Love it. People trow money in the water to make a wish. In maintance time i got to see how mutch money is coming out
You are spot on with the system of wooden wheels. However its the Fata Morgana, not the Droomvlucht that operates with the wooden wheels. The money in the fountains goes to charities.
Glad you liked it! As an employee of the Efteling I appreciate you like our operations. Be sure to visit again! :)
You guys operate them rides better than most other parks I’ve been to, and I’ve been to quite a lot 😂 100% be back again. Thank you for watching ☺️
@@CoasterGiant1 No worries! We'll be glad to have you back! Let me know if you need anything. :)
Last time I went to Efteling was 2 years ago iirc, went with a group of friends and ofc we went on the piraña, one of our friends was super unlucky tho and was fully soaked when we got off the ride hahaha, never been on Max & Moritz tho, still sad they removed the bobsleigh since it was one of my favorites there
😂 I can imagine if the water jets get you on Pirana it would be a soaker. I have seen a video of the old bobsleigh, I do love that type of coaster, always sad when stuff has to be removed. Thanks for watching ☺️
@CoasterGiant1 we just lost it after we all got off the tubes and really got to see how bad the "damage" was, if the rafts hit you just right you know you won't make it out dry but never have I seen someone get fully soaked, luckily we had towels with us just to be sure, looking forward to the Walibi video
Yeah, i am a frequent flyer there and i was also sad when they removed it. But i get the reason why. They did it because the attraction was so old, and because it was one of the few of its kind it was very hard to do repairs when they needed a new piece for something. So it wasn't working half of the time. So i get it, but still a shame
Cool vid, nice footage. Efteling is an unique experience for young and old(er).
Thanks very much, I had a lot of fun filming and editing this one, great park. Thanks for watching ☺️
I love the fata morgana its my favorite ever
Looks like you had a lovely day! I have a soft spot for non-Dutch people experiencing the park for the first time. I’m certainly not the only one, I bet this comment section will be flooded with Dutchies in no time 🤭 thank you for sharing your vlog!
The second favourite thing to experience a park for the first time is watching someone else experience a park for the first time. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching ☺️
Do you get to visit Efteling very often?
@@CoasterGiant1I 100% agree! I try to visit once every year. I live about an hour away, but if I were to live closer to the park I would definitely get an annual pass. It’s my favourite place on earth! What was your favourite attraction?
@@iknownothing8829 it’s really hard to pick a favourite, they all offer so many different qualities, I love the coasters for the thrills and theming but how do you compare Dream Flight, Fata and Flying Dutchman when they’re all so good in totally different ways 🤷🏼♂️😂 what’s your favourite?
@@CoasterGiant1 hmmm… Out of all attraction types I think I enjoy dark rides the most, so Fata Morgana and Dream Flight are and will always be must-do’s for me. I’m 31 so both rides are super nostalgic to me. Both offer the highest level of escapism, I love them both. BUT I also think Symbolica is going to be a next generation’s classic (the scenes… the animatronics… the music… the trackless carriages… * *chef’s kiss* * 🤌🏻😘). Lots of words to come to the same conclusion as you: it’s way too hard to pick just one! 😂
@@iknownothing8829 to pick a favourite ride would be like picking your favourite child or your favourite pet 😂 love them all equally 😂😂😂
You seriously missed the best dark ride of the park! De Droomvlucht! But awesome video dude!
Hey. Thanks very much, Don’t worry, I did 2 days there, 2nd day vlog, including my thoughts on De Droomvlucht will be on the channel soon. We did the Fairytale Forest on day 2 too. Thanks for watching ☺️
This mad house is in fact thé original. The very fist mad house of this type ever made.
Yeah, and it’s in great condition. We have the second one ever built just after Efteling at Drayton Manor in the UK, that’s still a great ride too!!
Thanks for watching ☺️
The mad house part of Fata Morgana, at the end. You have to look behind you! Then you will see it! :)
Oh ok, I’ll have to go back and ride it again then 😂 sounds like a good excuse to do a return visit
Glad you had a great time at Efteling 🍄🧚♂️ we had a fantastic time there in August 23 and my son and I got totally drenched on the rapids!! We are hoping to get back there for Christmas this year along with Toverland..another fantastic park! Great vlog, looking forward to part 2 and Toverland 😍
Thanks very much guys. Love both parks so much, I’m always so torn between revisiting parks like this or opting to visit brand new places. But I do think about these 2 a lot!
@@CoasterGiant1 I know it’s such a dilemma whether to try something new or go back to a great park 🤔 we feel like we ran out of time at Efteling (we did one day) so we have unfinished business there 😂😂
@@corefamilyadventures oh yeah, 100% need to go back for your second day then, might as well pop in to Toverland the day after too 😂
1:59 ik dacht ff dat ie ketchup op zn poffertjes had man jezus
It’s jam 😂😂😂
Toverland and efteling are my childhood parks. Love to see outside perspectives!
Very lucky having them as your childhood parks. I bet it’s been exciting to watch how much Toverland has grown over the last 10 years. Thanks for watching ☺️
@@CoasterGiant1i was there when toverland was just the 2 indoor parts. It has to be one of the fastest growing theme parks ever
@@TTHBLOX_ Avalon blew me away, amazing area, the theming was incredible, if they do more of that in the future it’ll become somewhere I’d want to visit a lot more regularly
@@CoasterGiant1from what i knowm they plan on making a holiday village next to troy in the same theme. Then they will focus on a new ride themed area. But thats around 2026
@@TTHBLOX_ I’ll have to plan a trip when the new holiday village opens, could easily spend a couple of days chilling there
Slight correction: Python wasn’t re-tracked by Vekoma, but by a Belgian company called CSM. That’s why the new track looks “odd”
Also the loopings pull 4.6g’s it’s the strongest positive G’s in the country.
Did I say that 🙈 thanks for the correction. Yeah you can certainly see the difference between the new and old track. Great coaster though! Thanks for watching ☺️
@@CoasterGiant1 thank you for making such a wonderful video, it was very pleasant to watch, instant sub :)
@@NathanHydra arrrr thanks very much, glad you enjoyed. I’ll try and get the next Efteling one out within the next week 👍🏻
The lifthill and station are the only og parts the rest is the retrack.But the efteling knows its a park favorite and wasnt worked on till the retrack for big maintenance.Before joris there was a other wooden coaster named pegasus. But that coaster became old and wasnt good so they build joris en de draak. but a few years ago they found problems and parts where moving too much. Now it has been fixed with new wood for the sleepers where the track is on and some titan track in the parts that where moving too much.
@@lordgandalf22 I did notice the titan track when I was there, have you ridden it since they completed more work over winter this year?
Btw you went an a school trip day. That’s were we went when we were little
I wish I’d of had school trips like that 😂
32:28 yeah the “kantelkamer” (the ‘madhouse’ bit) in Fata Morgana has been broken for a while.
@@MarceldeJong that’s sad, hope they get it working again. Thanks for watching ☺️
Enjoyed this over breakfast today. This is one of Matt's best vlogs don't ya think?
Arrrr thanks, I did really enjoy editing this one. Out of interest what did you have for breakfast whilst watching? 😂
@@CoasterGiant1I want to know too, I’m invested lol
If you do not get the story of Fata Morgana, and people often do not get it, then you are clueless of what is going on. Fata Morgana is a trip through the forbidden city of 1001 nights, but the magician takes you there, you think... But at the end of the ride, it was just a dream, a Fata Morgana so to speak.
Great ride, great story telling. I love how long it is too.
I don't know which walibi you're planning on visiting (if you haven't visited it already at this point), and I don't know if it still exists.
But when I went to walibi as a child there was this (entirely) "underground" roller coaster that basically felt like you were riding on the minecarts from the snes game [donkey Kong country], just an abyss below you that felt like it went on forever. Probably wasn't as big of a space as it appeared to be, but because of the darkness it felt like the coaster went into the center of the earth and was built inside a giant cave or something.
If I remember correctly, the track was lit by tiny lights all across the track making it appear as though the track was just floating in the darkness. Which was absolutely insane! I remember looking to my left at one point and seeing part of the track some ways away and... Man... For a moment I wasn't sure if I was ever going to see daylight again. 😂
If it still exists, I recommend giving it a try.
I don't remember the exact name, but I believe it had [mouse] or [rat] in the name. Maybe some of my fellow dutchies remembers the coaster I'm talking about and can give you the actual name. 😅
That sounds amazing, I need to research what this is now 😂 I’ve done Holland and Belgium Walibi parks but I never saw anything like this!
Bedoel je Rioolrat? Dat is een achtbaan in het donker. Maar niet in Walibi. Volgens mij is dat in Hellendoorn.
@@ninaw3748
You know what... I think you might be right about that!
Been so long since I went to any of these places, I must have mixed up the parks. 😅
revolution Bobbejaanland? =D
@@Brittjeeee93
It looks like a fun alternative, but there's way more effects going on on that ride from the looks of it.
The one I was thinking of was a bit more basic, in a non-derogatory way.
I also remember there was like... A python roller coaster nearby? Maybe not python, but one of those rides that we just knew the name of as kids for some reason. 😅
Max and moritz is the newer coaster of the park and its on the old bobsled coaster called bob`s place. And the stationbuilding is still original. And max and moritz are the two naughty boys that make life a living hell for their mother who works at the bakkerei krummeling.And thats why you have whoopie cussions organ and the ride going faster a second ride. Piranha now is in its maintenance some of the rocks where getting bad. The fata morgana also gonna get a rework the figures getting old and are often broken so they gonnan fix them and some people have comlained that the ride isnt a realistic arabic show so they might make some changes.
Ohhh I didn’t know the station was original, that’s so cool! It’s a great station. Would love to see some money spent on Fata, when did it originally open, it felt very 90’s and nostalgic in terms of the quality of animatronic, loved it.
@@CoasterGiant1in 1986 if i remember correctly, so almost 40 years old. It's an Efteling classic, but it could do with a bit of renovation
@@hagelslagfabrikant so good, I love that era of dark rides. We used to have one called Pirate Adventure in the UK, sadly closed now 😞 so good to see Efteling are looking after theirs
@@CoasterGiant1 Efteling takes care of their rides untill they have no other option. They recently demolished Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house and are going to rebuild it with new techniques but according to the original blueprints. It was in such a bad shape they had no other choice. It was a bit of an operation since a big pneumatic main is running underneath it that powers much of the fairytale forest's animatronics. They also recently demolished the Spookslot (a haunted house) because they couldn't keep the old animatronics running anymore. It's being replace with the new Dance Macabre ride that will open later this year.
Efteling has seen many changes over the years. The teacup ride used to be cannibal themed with cooking pots you could sit in. It played the song Monsieur Cannibale which you can now still hear in the Aquanura water show.
Final note: you didn't seem to like Carnaval Festival. It is indeed popular with children and it's themesong is pretty much known by everyone in The Netherlands, it's a real earworm. The ride is based on Carnaval, which is mostly celebrated in the south of The Netherlands. Look up some videos on Carnaval and you'll see the ride is themed as if you are making your way through a Carnaval parade. It's the most important event of the year in the province of North Brabant where the Efteling is located.
@@hagelslagfabrikant you can really tell Efteling look after all of their attractions which is so good to see, it’s really obvious when you’re in the park too, everything is stunning. The old carousel in the building is a great example of the love they put into maintaining things.
Very excited for Dance Macabre, I feel a return visit coming on once that’s opened 🙌
with symbolica you are invited to an audience with the king and pardoes the jester is up to cause some mischief, baron yes its short but it makes up in themeing and story if you have ever seen the back story of the coasters construction....i miss the park myself i cant wait to get back to the park hopefully in 2025 as i want to sample to new attractions, front and back row on baron are great the coaster i think is very smooth, the flying dutchmen is great and well its smoothish as you say,
but efteling is one of my favourite parks
@@GameTimeUK I’m hoping to go back for the new ride too at some point. Would like to visit here and Toverland again very soon.
Dat je zo makkelijk filmde in de achtbanen verbaast me, de efteling is heel lastig met filmen in de achtbanen
They are fine as long as you’re wearing a proper chest mounted GoPro 👍🏻
No dreamflight on this first day, or vogelrock; with both you were so close!
Vogelrock was closed when we visited 😢 but Dreamflight was the first ride we did on day 2 ☺️
I need to book another visit to get Vogelrock.
Thanks you watching 👍🏻
Brilliant video👌thanks. Really a nice park, but not my favorite in Europe. I prefer Europapark, Disney Paris and Phantasialand. This puts Efteling in fourth place, ahead of Energylandia, Park Asterix and Alton Towers.
@@jasondelmaitre2838 hey, thanks for watching. Yeah I loved it but it’s not my favourite. Heading to Europa Park soon for the first time so can’t wait to check that out.
Awesome video of my homepark ❤
Arrr thank you so much, you’re very lucky having Efteling as your home park. How often do you get to visit?
@@CoasterGiant1+- twice in a month :D
@@semkoppejan nice! So lucky
the Efteling is different .. its originaly is designd for CHILDREN ! ... but was the inspiration for Disney World .. Efteling today ..its more a family park
It’s the kind of place anyone, of any age can go and have a great day out isn’t it.
Nice video and congrats it also most vieuwd video
Arrrr thanks very much, I really enjoyed making this one so glad people are liking it ☺️
My favorite,,Joris en de Draak
@@GoliathAngelus it’s so good, which side is your favourite?
@@CoasterGiant1 it does not matter to me.
Sinds the upgrade the track is a lot smoother now but before that, it was my favorite ride
The structure of the lift of baron 1898 is not Themed up. It is the structure and was specialty engineered for the coaster.
So its not just looked, it's functional
Hi, oh yeah I know it’s the required structure but they have made it beautifully decorative and added lovely details to make it looked themed.
Baron is my absolute favorite. I try to ride it at least twice a week...(I live 10 minutes from the park)
10 minutes away, that’s amazing! I’d be there every day 😂
The theming is awesome, I just don't really like dive coasters (in general I guess) because after that dive there's not much to them, they're quite lame coasters. It's like they just have some more track to let people recoup from that drop. It really fits Efteling's theming though and since this is not a park that has any real thrill rides it's an okay addition. You visit this park for the theming, not for the thrills, anyway. I'm really looking forward to the new Danse Macabre and the time all constructions throughout the park and parking are finished.
@@DobuDobuDobuDot I do love a dive coaster but none I’ve done compare to Oblivion at Alton towers, I kinda like that it’s just a forceful drop then the break run 😂 doesn’t try to do anything fancy after the drop 😂😂😂
@@CoasterGiant1 To each his own I guess. I'm more of a "thrill from start to finish"-kinda guy. Coasters like Wodan, Shambhala, Road to Happiness, Zadra, Hyperion or to a lesser degree Red Force are more my kind of rides when it comes to thrills. Overall, for a full day or weekend out I prefer theme parks over thrill parks though. My favourite European blend of the 2 is Europa-Park.
@@DobuDobuDobuDot some strong coasters in that list. I’ve not been to Europa yet, it’s top of my list for places I want to though, hopefully this year 🤞🤞🤞
you should visit phantasia land aswel its not that far from efteling. they have Tharon rly nice coaster
I’ve been 🎢 and love it, I did it during the winter event last year and am now really wanting to go back in the summer. Love that park!

Python is not re tracked by Vekoma but by a Belgian company
At one point it was the coaster with the most loops in all of europe
Hey, someone else pointed that out about Python, who ever did the retrack did a great job, very smooth coaster!
the food in the park is amazing, just the place where you ate is not as good :(
@@yvanca_ trust me to find one of the worst places 😂 we had far better food as the time went on, in the day 2 vlog we discover the Pancake restaurant 🙌
What’s your favourite place to eat at Efteling?
@@CoasterGiant1Bäckerei krumel😊
About the food you ate that was tasteless please forward this to the park as they always want to improve stuff
Fatamorgana, how can there be a drop on a ride thats all connected with a cable. And there is no mad house scene. You imagined the room tilting.😅🤣
😂 I didn’t know it was a cable system before I went on the ride, I think I’d assumed it would be like pirates of the Caribbean 😂 multiple people have told me the set of the room tilts, are you sure it doesn’t move?
@@CoasterGiant1 100% that there is no tilting room. Those things where not even possible when it was build
@@miwer1000 Actually, the final room with the snake head is a tilting room (not a massive tilt) and has been since Fata Morgana opened, but it is regularly broken (along with the laser beam effect from the snake eyes). There are behind-the-scenes pictures showing the hydrolic cylinders.
@@Johnny-Thunder no honestly, people told me the final room / scene in Fata rocks slightly giving a madhouse feel
@@TomGeerlings thank you 🙏
the music from carnaval festival stay's in your head the rest of the week 🤣🤣🤣🤣and it's not pancakes. it's poffertjes,
What are the poffertjes made of, they taste very similar to what we’d call pancakes in the UK?
@@CoasterGiant1 the batter is basicly the same however poffertjes are made in a special pan/device for the right shape/size also a lot thicker and fluffier then normal dutch pancakes.
@@Spheroth what ever they do to them, they’re delicious 😂
It’s a shame you had a bad experience with the food. It is recommended to skip the chips (or ‘fries’). At many theme parks this is probably the only thing you can get but at Efteling there are plenty of options. The same goes for Toverland. The others parks have mediocre food at best. Only toverland and Efteling really stand above all parks I have ever been, the worst are probably Disneyland and Walibi.
Also, did you ride vogelrok? The indoor coaster
Hi, we really should have researched the food situation 😂 at least I was hungry for the pancakes in the afternoon, they were amazing. We had far better food in the day 2 vlog too. We had stunning food in the Avalon area in Toverland.
The Turkish pizza is good, and they have good meals at the self service Het Witte Paard 👍🏻
@@ericbus3457 I’ll put them both on the list for next time 👍🏻
I Think I'm the only dutch from the Carribbean that thinks the Efteling is just an alright and fun amusement park. My gf really loves and hypes it out like alot of people.😂
My parents used to bring me there when i was a kid ones and i was afraid of some puppets there, even the trashcan man.
Now I am more used to it but still think a few puppets are a bit creepy looking.😂
Try the goldrush in slagharen. Good ride.
Slagharen is on my list of places to visit, fingers crossed I’ll get there soon
You didnt go to droom vlucht op the schip 😅
Don’t worry, we had a second day there and we got on all the other rides ☺️thank you for watching
45:45 This one was rebuilt (i think) due to the problematic theming it had. (the song was about cannibals)
Yeah, I’ve heard it was really bad before 😬
@@CoasterGiant1 To be fair it was already a french song and the song was about a guy that saved himself of being eaten by showing a penthouse to the chief and the chief then let him have as much fun time with women untill he had to leave
@@ricardomeertens9165 I don't know man, French songs about sex with cannibals aren't really Dutch culture. Are you angry because brown people got their way?
@@ricardomeertens9165 loool wat is er nederlands aan kannibalen, wat de tering gebeurd er allemaal bij jou in het dorp????
55:30 - that is "Monsieur Cannibale" - an homage to the ride of the same name that was there before the current spinning teacups ride. It was pretty racist, so it definitely had to go. Very catchy song, but with some definitely inappropriate lyrics for children as well.
Sounds like it’s a good job they changed it. Thanks for watching all the way to the end ☺️
It wasn't racist though, since it was just an character, nothing more.
People searched things to make them feel offended, Efteling simply didn't felt like to have an minority group of people nag the hell out of them.
@@Power2All definitely racist mate, but beyond that it also just didn't fit the park, something like that has no place in a fun space for kids.
They are working on the Piranha since november so thuis video has to be from beforw that.
Yeah I visited in October, looking forward to seeing what they’ve done to Piranha, looks like they are doing a lot of work on it
They added a lot of new water effects, all the rocks have been replaced (due to their age, ride is from the '80 s) and they have added a couple of extra water shooters. I hope they made the end a little more 'splashy'. We'll see in a few weeks 😮
When the ride is in 'tropical' mode in the summer, the splashes are bigger and just after the bridge there is effectively a hose that shoots out water which will the soak the poor soul that's under it 😂
@@ericbus3457 ok so I need to visit in the height of summer then, I love a good old school rapids ride! ……well I love them when it’s hot and sunny 😂
8:55 What was that crossing the road?
Erm, maybe a squirrel? 🐿️
@@CoasterGiant1 Leprechaun.....Obvious! Where else would you expect those?
@@jurrione oh maybe it was 👀
The Efteling is full of small wildlife, that's definitely a squirrel.
@@FanFictionneer A leprecaun I think.
32:17 It's broken since the last five months
Oh no, haven’t edited the 2nd vlog yet but I’m pretty sure I noticed the effects more on the second run through
@@CoasterGiant1 could be fixed, i'm only going twice a month so l don't know everything
@@nintendoswitch2927 oh this was filmed during a visit is October last year, jealous that you get to go twice a month, it’s a beautiful park
@@CoasterGiant1 There's something new every day! There's even a channel with daily Efteling updates!
When is day 2 comming online
Soon I hope, life’s been really busy but I have started working on it, hopefully in the next 2 weeks ☺️

@@sennesmets4625 nice one 🙏 thank you
Did anyone else spot the giant rat(?) at 8:55 ?
Thats a squirrel
A few people have mentioned it in the comments 😂
Villa volta was one of the if not the first mad house
Yeah, it was the first in the world. 2nd one opened at Drayton Manor in the UK just after Villa Volta
@@CoasterGiant1 i know of a story that it was not allowed to build a second mad house close to the Efteling.
Zo sixflags(old owner of Walibi holland) build one in the us and moved it a year later to Walibi Holland....
Find the rat at 08:56🎉
😂 or was it a squirrel? 🐿️
@@CoasterGiant1 there are a lot of squirrels in The Efteling, but that was a rat🤣
All nature👍🏻

I hate it when people stand up on rapids that's why the UK's rapids are bad now.
I know, I hate it too, they were not in our group…. There were certainly no announcements telling people to sit down on them rapids
@@CoasterGiant1 It's cool I'm new but I know thusies from the UK would never
@@CoasterGiant1 There are announcements in the entry building on the screens. They show you Aztec statues in a boat and then some falling off when they stand up.
@@NinoMit87 ohhh it’s a shame them kids didn’t listen then. I’m use to Alton Towers and Drayton Manor where they have staff positioned around the ride with mega phones telling people off every 2 minutes 😂
@@CoasterGiant1 theyre were anouncements but only in dutch
I'm just at the start of the video, but man, you need a better camera! You should be filming in 4K60 in 2024! Especially with the fast coaster footage. And it doesn't have to be some super exotic camera, even just a somewhat recent Google Pixel or iPhone shoots way better video than what you have here. Gonna continue watching now, but sad to see that the quality could have been so much better.
Quite shocked at that, even watching on my big TV the quality looks far better than a lot of vloggers I watch who film on iPhones etc. I’m happy with the quality. This is just a hobby and a way of capturing memories so I won’t be dropping any money on new equipment any time soon I’m afraid. Thanks for watching though 👍🏻
@@CoasterGiant1 I finished the video and it was a nice overview of the park! I may have been a bit too negative in my earlier comment. In some parts of the video, the image quality is pretty good, but others not so much. Colors are not great, the sky often blown out and perhaps bitrate on the low side? Also the dark (inside footage) is pretty bad. A camera that does better (HDR like) processing would get a better result here.
For comparison, find the video on YT titled "Google Pixel 8 Pro 4K Camera Video Samples Day and Night" and compare the colors, sky and dark footage.
Just for clarity, I commented with the intention for constructive feedback, but reading it back I could have done a better job formulating that. Keep up the the good work otherwise. :)
@@cygnusx7 no worries, it’s always good to get this kind of feedback. I use a go pro 10 for on ride and the original DJI mini pocket for the main vlogging, when that eventually dies I will look to replace with something with a better spec 😂
They would have refunded you the bad food.
It’s ok, it was still edible. What do you think is the best place to eat there?
@@CoasterGiant1 Honestly the pancakes restaurant is very nice. After that pinokkio's and het wapen van ravelijn.
@@CoasterGiant1 I agree on the pancakes at Polles Keuken. Seasonal menu offers nice sweet or savory possibilities and the regular menu already ois quite good.
@@vangestelwijnen yeah, I did eat there on day too, not only did the food taste amazing the theming inside was incredible.
And check out Fabula restaurant. The interior / theming is amazing.
Voor mij gaat de aardigheid van youtube aardig achteruit, ik wordt misselijk van al die reclames, net als op de tv, waar ik ook al niet meer naar kijk, behalve het nieuws.
Als het nog erger wordt met die reclames op youtube, dan ga ik gewoon gamen, geen ergenis.
@@helenooft9664 every video I watch seems to have a 60 second advert at the start these days
@@CoasterGiant1 For me it is at the beginning and near the end, and it are a lot, so it will be lik on TV, i almost dont watch TV, only the news, and that is all about the adv. when you see a serie for the time ad. 1.50 minutes, you know that the half is for adv. in 1 blok 16 adv. i did count them, to much, i have enough of it.
Een Addblocker helpt , ik heb de extensie "Addblocker for youtube" aan firefox toegevoegd en nu zie ik nooit meer reclame op youtube :) .
Stop calling poffertjes pancakes. It's something completely different
What are they? In terms of taste comparison they taste very similar to pancakes we eat in the uk
@@CoasterGiant1 but they are not pancakes, they are poffertjes
@@CoasterGiant1 Dutch pancakes are big and flat. The thickness is in the middle of a crepe and an american pancake. Add on like apple, raisins, cheese or bacon are backed in with it. Poffertjes are small, puffy because of yeast in the batter and add on is on top of it. Original the batter of poffertjes contain buckwheat instead of regular wheat. But that isn't always the case anymore.
The batter is not quite the same, but mainly it's confusing to call poffertjes pancakes, because we also have pancakes. 😉
@@captainchaos3667 I also had the actual pancakes on day 2 of the visit 😂
Next time, put your sunglasses off. We want to see your eyes when your talking to us.
we? I really don't care
Just trying to protect myself from squinting and getting even more wrinkles around my eyes 😂
