Efteling: General Discussion

Yes, I used the photo pass before on the app. You just put in the number that is on the photo and it gets added to the app.

There's usually a discount for the photo pass floating around somewhere as well.

I wanted to thank everyone again for your help. We did end up hiring a car so drove around to the pool one night and despite having to wear armbands for the fire time ever (I normally just hold her ) she had a great time.

Loved our first visit to the park too.

The new drop towers in the Baron area opens on May 1st.

Yay.

I love how a high number of the videos they did relating to Baron (and other attractions) are done on park.

Great to see

I thought a few years ago Alton may be leaning in to this “universe” creation with the TCAAM, Nemesis Reborn, Compound, Phalanx Fireworks and the Characters but appears to have stalled slightly recently.

Hopefully they get back to it ASAP as it’s a strong concept for them much like Efteling, it works really well when done right.

Is Efteling typically busy in the Halloween half term? Presumably they're unlikely to schedule ride maintenance for that period?

We are booked to go last week of August which we've done previously as it's quieter with many of the Dutch schools being back. However i've had something come up with work so wonder if this is a viable alternative? They don't seem to do anything specifically Halloween based so is it more like Phantasialand in that regard (which was relatively quiet for that period this year).

It was pretty quiet last year. They don’t do any Halloween event or theming. Winter Efteling usually starts a few weeks after.

I went October 29th/30th last year. It was kind of middle of the road in terms of how busy the park was. Nothing had ridiculous lines, but the bigger rides still had healthy queues. Not sure how Baron 1898 being closed affected it though.
