    So I have an interesting fact that I can add as a metalhead, for promotion there exists a metal version of Dance Macabre with lyrics. It is called The Ghost In Me and it is by Dutch symphonic metal band Epica, the music video was filmed in the new area for the Danse Macabre and the lyrics discuss the story. Also interestingly the vocalist wears contact lenses in the video, yellow and blue just like the cat.
    The Efteling has a long history with the Dutch metal scene for example in the song for the Baron there are vocals by Anneke van Giersbergen and any woodwind instrument you hear are by Jeroen Goosens. Now both Anneke and Jeroen are frequent collaborators of Arjen Anthony Lucassen a Dutch mutli-instrumentalist and composer most well known for his sci-fi rock opera project Ayreon.
    Another fun fact Epica played The Ghost In Me before it came out during their Symphonic Synergies show which was a show in The Netherlands with a full orchestra behind them and a children's choir. My dad was at that show so I already knew about it before the music video was uploaded.

      @@ThemeParkPassion Thank you, oh and I think there should be a tombstone with "Epica" on it in the area. I saw it briefly in the music video but there also should still be a tombstone with "Kate Bush" because she promoted the Spookslot with a music video when that was just build. Perks of being from The Netherlands and into metal I know these little things. I have yet to ride it myself but I saw it being build a year ago when I visited the Efteling with my brothers.

    I have been in the Danse Macabre twice last week. It is such a smooth "dance" to the music and it features some nice objects from the original "Spookslot" which was the former name of the ride. Efteling did a fantastic job with this.

      @@ThemeParkPassion If you never heard of the park it's hard to follow their socials...
      Efteling never did anything with Halloween, even when other parks started to do so (like Walibi Holland¹ introduced Halloween Horror Nights, a near copy of Universals similar named event when they were under Six Flags rule -Some names were changed or characters were lost due to licensing issues But you have Freddy the clown I believe, we have Eddie the clown, a murderous psychopath clown who 'invites friends' to *cough have fun *cough, but getting off track)
      And while we've had spookslot for 44yrs it was a mild walkthrough attraction and as soon as you left the building you were back in reality
      In the last 2yrs they've demolished it and basically tried to upgrade it to a 2.0 version although the story told now is different to make it a bit more 'you could also be cursed, don't enter' style they've also rethemed the whole area to the creepy style (1st time they've done that)
      Opening was on Halloween with the ceremony the night before
      -So it might be logical it's not known that well yet, especially with the Harris vs Trump race going on
      Efteling did what they do best, bringing imagination to life, and make it look if the buildings build yesterday (almost) have been there for decades or centuries
      For those interested go to Eftelings official yt channel, and watch 'making of ...' or what ever you like, don't worry nearly everything comes with English subs
      ¹= Where Efteling wants to keep it kid/family friendly Walibi (former Six Flags) doesn't care, they'll put up scare zones/houses some free some at extra cost, and they don't shy away of foul language... Eddie calling you an R-word or F-word or B-word to simply tease/annoy you isn't unheard of...

    I've been obsessed with this since I saw the first videos on 11/01! It truly is amazing in both artistic vision and technical execution. But having seen everything, I have a couple of thoughts to share...the concept art shows the conductor as a large "hologram" over the entire ride, I'm sorry they didn't carry that out. I also wonder why they went with the traditional "ghost" look, and didn't dress him as a conductor in formal wear. I don't understand the ruined pile of instruments in the center: do they "heal" and become playable, or play by themselves? The vids I've seen show the first flash, and the final blast of smoke...but nothing else. And, given the long lines, it's a shame they've cut the piece almost in half to less than four minutes. Minor quibbles, it's still astonishing work!

      A Hologram? It isn't. It's was never supposed to be. It's an animatronic. And there is so much to see. It's hard to record because of all the motion. The ghost was drawn in the original artwork some 40+ years ago, but due to financial issues, it was not constructed. Technically, it is a masterpiece now. You have to experience it yourself and immerse yourself in the storyline.
