It's certainly becoming more popular for people from the UK to visit, had one work colleague asking me what it's like to visit, and then the next day another telling me they've booked to go next year.

I wouldn't say so, you see a lot more English guests at PortAventura than you do at Efteling due to it's location. Efteling's on the up but I think PA and EP are Infront of Efteling atmDefinitely - I would say it’s now the second most heard of European park behind Disneyland Paris! Their marketing in the UK seems to be working!
