    I've been watching a lot of "Efteling-through the eyes of foreigners" stuff lately and your take on the park is so respectful to both the culture, the history and even the pronunciation. Hats of to you guys, this was a really fun watch ❤
    Ps. Easy way to pronounce Droomvlucht would be: Drome (like drone)- instead of Droom.

      And awesome! That’s very helpful on the pronunciation. Thank you!

    According to their website it should be possible to book rooms in the Efteling hotels excluding the park entrance fee if you have a season pass. They even say you'll get an additional discount of up to 25%.

    • @coasterchroniclesofficial

    Loved the vlog! Although Holle Bolle Gijs asks for paper, you can put any trash in his mouth. 😊 The fairy swing in front of Droomvlucht is a seasonal addition for the summer, just like the big Djinn-puppet over by Fata Morgana. Some additional entertainment for the busier summer season.

    Hi guys nice to see your back! Grand Hotel was supposed to open in 2024, but because the factory that was responsible for the walls has gone bankrupt it’s now 2025. But I go almost every week and it’s crazy how fast they are going. Ohh the giant is called Djin, he’s the one watching all the gold in Fata Morgana! He’s a friendly giant 😊. Before covid Efteling was open in summer till midnight so you could see Aquanura in the dark. I would say for that you have to come and get this amazing experience for WinterEfteling. It’s dark at 5 in the afternoon. At summerbeach the pink cottage you were checking its were you can meet Pardijntje, the girl of Pardoes 😊😂. I love you checking out if someone is home 😂😂😂. Ohhh Efteling museum everything is original. The probs you see they were used for serval rides. The drawings are original sketches so you can see how they kept to the original design. The show you saw was founder of Efteling! You can see and here about how Anton Pieck started Efteling and what we have now 😊! Sorry if I’m rambling but you are asking so many things 😊😂! I loved your vlog again, can’t wait to see more of your videos

    Regarding Pinocchio's Monstro being a fish here. The whale is a Disney invention. Sadly their version of fairytales often make for the generally known version. For instance, the poison apple is the third and final attempt of the Evil Queen on Snow White's life. The first two are a deadly comb and corset. Frozen meanwhile is hardly recognisable from the orignal story.

    • @coasterchroniclesofficial
      @coasterchroniclesofficial  3 місяці тому +2

      Yes we are definitely aware that they change quite a bit. It’s been interesting going back and reading original texts. Takes time, but we have been slowly starting to go through them. Haven’t gotten to Pinocchio yet though so now really curious to read that one! Will prioritize it next! 🙏🏼

    The water ride and the whole area around was closed for a long time and was practically fully rebuild.The Flying Dutchman had an lift hill upgrade.Fata Morgana has been inspired by 1001 nights and is on the roll for a mayor refurbishment it has been practically running since the start and apart from some fix ups and it shows it the figures stop working on a fairly high frequency so i cant wait for it to be fixup and repaired and improved. Efteling does a great job on keeping the feel pretty consistent with refurbs they make small changes and improve the reliability. And the train not riding was due to the new regulations about what you exhaust out of vehicles and in general. So they have fixed one atm but soon they gonna go for a refurb and become electric which is a shame but they have told that the electric ones will still feel similar. The car ride that the car was from still exist its in the park still they have upgraded it from the no sound and movements when i was a kid to a more upgrade version but still fun with kids. And the monorail is in the land of laaf a group of naughty creatures that came through a hole and came out inside the efteling in one of the homes the hole is still there. At least thats a background story. Ravelijn is gonna change/get removed its still unknown but its know something is gonna change into that area.

      @@coasterchroniclesofficial So you probably already heard through the grapevine, but Ravelijn became a bit controversial due to some accidents with riders, a fire that broke out, and some animal rights activists putting on a disturbance/protest. Word on the streets is that there will be some sort of walk-through attraction happening in the arena of Ravelijn in the future. The horse show will have to go. Fun fact; the buildings in the back of the set of Ravelijn is where all the office space for the Efteling is located.

    The thing to know when pronouncing Dutch is that "ij" is a vowel. It sounds a bit like "eye". That doesn't apply to "sprookjesbos" though since there is no i. On its own "j" is a consonant that sounds like the y in English.

      Fairytaleforest. (nothing to do with ice cream. 😄🍦😋🙁)

    The Efteling Grand Hotel is being made prefab and then assembled on site with detailing and decorating happening simultaneously with the inside , which is why it's being erected so quickly. The idea was to minimize the construction time since it is in the entrance area, and to save on costs making it prefab. Ironically the company building the parts/walls for the hotel went bankrupt, causing a massive delay and a big rise in the cost. On the plus side, efteling is opening a new Fairytale simultaneously that ties in with the hotel. namely The Princess on the pea.
