Efteling: General Discussion

I'm certain Villa Volta did have mannequins behind the two light up squares in the floor at some point.

Shows how lucky we are to have Hex really.

Thanks for this! I watched a few videos and can barely make out a humanoid shape being lit up there. At least when I was there, it just looked like it was highlighting some linoleum floor for no reason. According to some descriptions I found It's supposed to be Hugo. The pre-show didn't really make it clear why suddenly the room was spinning, though, just that he's cursed.

Such great music on this ride, and tbh in Efteling in general.

Some other quick thoughts on rides/Shows:

- Raveleijn was great, though I didn't realise until yesterday there is apparently headsets you can ask for that provides translations?
- Baron 1898 and its whole area was closed, looking at it now it looks like the maintenance has overrun and should hopefully reopen tomorrow (too late for me though). I noticed them mostly doing cosmetic fixes/improvements.
- Joris en de Draak has terrible ride photos if you are on the last row (at least on one side)
- Symbolica was great, though unclear messaging about the "tours". It usually ended up with lots of people waiting for one, and much less so for another.
- Can't get Carnaval Festival's music out of my head
- CARO was great, it unfortunately had a technical issue towards the end of the "pre-show" where they had to fix/replace one of the spotlights but after 25 minutes the show was resumed.
- Loved the Danse Macabre actors/staff in that area. All seemed to be enjoying themselves. The area is so great in the dark.
- Aquanura was great. We watched it on the Fata Morgana side but caught a bit of it on the entrance side, which seemed closer/better, albeit busier.
- So many turntables.

Barons maintenance has been scheduled for months to finish tomorrow, we were fortunate to visit the week before it closed.

Major Maintenance at Baron 1898

Efteling fans may have already spotted it in the maintenance calendar: dive coaster Baron 1898 will be closed for nine weeks after the summer. What exactly is going to happen?

Yeah it's been scheduled for a while (and I found out right after I booked my holiday, not that I could have changed anything), but it was originally scheduled for the 31st to finish, and their page reflected that until the 30th/31st. I had a bit of unsubstantiated hope that maybe they could finish early for the 30th, but it didn't look at all like they were close to ready. It was somewhat annoying not having the through path be available, and I failed at finding the path/bridge behind Pirana the first time.

Until I looked this up I didn't realise all the stuff they were doing to it, it's a shame I missed it! Probably won't be back to Efteling for years. It was lucky you got on it just before it closed!
