Efteling: General Discussion

More pictures of the refurbished Efteling Wonder Hotel here from Themepark.nl:


Actually really like what they've done with this, looks nicely themed, possibly inspired by Symbolica. Total opposite of what they did to Bosrijk Eethuys last year.
 
I dunno what the target market is, but I find these rides actually really fun, love the ones at Phantasialand the most. Having 3 together with the theming structure in the middle should be great. And love how it’s fitting so well into the area and Baron.
With those family drop towers, I'm sure these will be enjoyed by both young and old alike 🙂

I find these Zierer Family Freefall Towers enjoyable and pack a punch 😄
 
Had the pleasure of riding the ‘new’ show of De Vliegende Hollander. I like it, interesting how with a few tweaks it feels better paced and more atmospheric into the outside portion. Also FOG. Did go down for a bit in the afternoon.

Also Dance Macabre is an excellent family flat. Avoid spoilers if you haven’t ridden it yet. Though as I know the piece ‘Dance Macabre’ very well I probably was the only one not surprised at the ending. I’d also avoid the single rider queue for that.
 
Why so? It eats through the SRQ fairly nicely. Only thing missed is the pre-show bit.
I’d say it’s potentially worth it if it was empty or the main queue was horrendous. As a single rider myself today the main queue ended up being 20 mins, appeared faster than the SRQ and the main queue is far, far more pleasant than the SRQ staircase.

Baron SRQ is hit or miss, tend to find if it’s reached the switchback the main queue is normally better. Hollander and Joris SRQs have definitely been good choices on all of my visits.
