    Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of Efteling in the comments!
    You can watch my vlog from the other park I visited on this trip, Plopsaland de Panne, here - ua-cam.com/video/SzbE0MEMXhg/v-deo.html :)

    The park looks so beautiful all lit up! I love everyone clapping at the end of Danse Macabre. I had a multiple day visit a week ago at Bosrijk and the clapping became so regular people started to clap at the end of Villa Volta haha. Staying at the efteling was also so easy, the app worked great for parking, opening the bungalow house, entrance to the swimming pool but also giving you a notification when a show that you favorite is about to happen and how far you have to walk for it etc. Its such an easy and enjoyable stay. I also love that the restaurants in the park stay open for a while after closing time. We had dinner at Polles Keuken and Raveleijn, the last one even ended at around 20:30 while the park closed at 18:00. So surreal to walk back to the house with the park completely empty but still all lit up

    The Efteling is still working on Danse Macabre. At the moment you can see Esmeralda in the catacombs but the hide more down there. The danse will most likely change a bit to show more of the catacombs in the near future.
    The backstory of the ride is very rich and unique for the Efteling. Ton van de Ven already had the idea to put the conductor in Spookslot and made drawings of that, so Jeroen Verheij took those drawings, the history of the music piece and Spookslot-elements and just build a new backstory and ride around that.
    The Efteling is an family park. They don’t cater to just one age group. There is something for everyone in the park. What they miss in thrill they make up in theming. The still operate on the design-principles that the first designer Anton Pieck set. It has to be made just like the drawing.

      @@coaster_wave The same goes for Danse Macabre. Efteling wanted an attraction where you get the feeling of dancing to the music of Dance Macabre, it is of course the dance of dead. And with that idea in mind, they consulted several suppliers to see if they could make something like this. Intamin was the only one who dared to take on such a challenge, and that is how Danse Macabre was created. And I think it's fantastic that Efteling always dares to try new things because there are more prototypes in the park.

    Hello @LoopThemeParkAdventures Did you know that the swing boat De Halve Maen was the largest swing ship in the world until 1985? The Halve Maen is named after a VOC ship that really existed: it was Captain Henry Hudson who, having left Texel in search of a western route to the Indies, sailed into the river that is now New York Harbor in September 1609. The Halve Maen is still the largest swing ship in Europe

    Somehow I think story driven parks will stay fresh whereas thrill ride parks are on the way out. Simply because bigger and faster has limits too. Seen the once, seen them all. Story driven parks need maintenance because the story stays the same. Whereas the thrill seekers demand new coasters all of the time, one time thrill only. 😂

At least that was one of the mentioned stand out features of that ride: Wheelchair users can enjoy it too even though they can't be seated (it seems).
