happy birthday i had no power :(

Poor Vogel Rok, so misunderstood in most these reactions. It's a story from Arabian One Thousand and One (1001) Nights... were you snatched up in the night desert by a giant bird name Rok (the one outside), who bring you to his nest to feed it young. In this dark ride you're supposed to be hanging in it's talons while it soars through the night sky to its nest while passing some sceneries along the way. I really like ride it's different the cool air rushes past you as enjoy the scenery.. before getting eaten by Rok's chicks, lol.

I always find it so amusing when people say they didn't understand Fata Morgana because they don't speak Dutch. There is maybe 2 words of Dutch in that ride, and it's the stereotypical 'tourist trap' phrase. The language is mostly Arabic. Efteling rides in general (especially in the 80s and 90s) do not have real stories with a plot, rather they just have 'vibes'. Droomvlucht, Fata Morgana, Symbolica and the now demolished Spookslot all follow that design principle that was mastered by Efteling lead-designer Ton van de Ven. To me, this is preferable to i.e. Disney's approach, where you need much more text to follow along which is not good for small children or international visitors.

I've been working as an architectural engineer in the 80's. Maybe the "working titles" of the ride explain it all. "Fata Morgana" was just called "The Arab Show" and for instance "Het Land van Laaf." was called "Funny Village" and that's just what it is, a funny village with funny inhabitants. Off course there is a kind of fairy-tale theme,: "Laven, a Nordic Folk crawled through the earth and came to surface in the Efteling, where they had their community, with a babycare-centre managed by mother Lot, A kind of religion building, a bakery, a brewery (and when it opened a pub with genuine beer) a school and a ropers-lodge (On ropes across the pond). But a lot of funny folies in Funny Village where to stimulate taking photographs (before the digital era). All over the playground, where children could stick their heads through a hole in a wall or wave to their parents from e window in a folie there were signs put up "This is a KODAK foto-moment" And in every giftshop or food-kiosk you could purchase spare film. And still that is the main purpose, creating a great memory.

What I always find interesting, is that no vlogger who visits the Efteling, mentions this: all employees have a name badge which include country flags depending on which languages they speak. So i.e. a Dutch, English and French speaking employee, will have the flags of The Netherlands, The UK and France on their name badge. Did you guys saw that ;)?

Which is always weird, I live a few hours away, went last summer, and it felt fairly plain to me.

nooooo you missed the Villa Volta ride, still one of my favorites in the park. I'm glad you loved our ''Little Themepark'' though. I live like 20 minutes away from there so I go there a lot. always great to see people from other countries enjoying it!

1:05:05 This is the most beautiful and emotional story of them all: Little Match Girl. Th narration is all in rhyme. And in the end when she finally dies in the cold, the spirit of her grandmother comes pick her up, and she no longer has to be cold.

I’m glad you appreciate it :) I just feel like every little moment was so fun and didn’t want to cut a bunch of it out!

Fun fact: The entrance also has its own fairytale! It is called the house of the five senses. It was written especially for the entrance. (I am writing this from memory so correct me if im wrong. "In a kingdom, a king had 5 sons and a daughter. The five sons each had a strongly developed sense. When the king died the sons got very sad. The kingdom itself also went into a deppresive state. Their younger sister wanted to fix this. She told her brother they had to step up and use their senses to cheer up the kingdom! They listened and used their senses. One saw a bright future. One listened to the people in their kingdom. One tasted all the spices, so everyone had a tasty meal. One could feel when the winter was coming. One could smell when the crops where ready for harvesting. The people in the kingdom were so thankful they build a house for the 5 sons to live in. The house of the five senses!"

Funfact: in the early days of the Efteling, the builders were encouraged to have 2 shots of jenever before work and right-handed masons had to work left-handed and vice versa, as to ensure that their work wasn't to smooth and would resemble ancient buildings more.

Slay all the way through your trip and happy belated birthday! Also, the dragon you passed by used to be more mobile and would throw her head back, roar, and breathe fire. At one point, it broke down to the point it was unmovable. For now her animatronic mode has been turned off to save the innards.

@@TrojTV OH! Thank you for the information! I am saddened to see it close. I know it was a huge, pivotal addition to the park in its history.

The fairy tails Forrest is how the Efteling started. Unfortunately most kids and adults nowadays don’t know many of the tails from Hans Christiaan Anderson and the Grimm brothers. It’s how I remember Efteling frome about 50 years ago , when I was a child 😜. It’s funny, because the voices of the fairy tail Forrest seem to me the same as in those days.( almost 50 years ago) I am happy that Efteling developed through time, but also kept its magical and green park appearance. Sooo much better than the all concrete theme parks like Disney land Paris. I have visited it many times since I was young and I enjoyed every minute of it. And it is still the themapark pride of the Netherlands and more even to the people in Brabant, which is the province where the Efteling is located.

The Dutch edition of Grimm is illustrated by Anton Pieck. Walking in the. Efteling is like the book coming alive. Do you remember the coloured pigeons?

Dutch person here and I absolutely loved your video! Efteling is my happiest place on Earth and it's just so lovely to see the enjoyment and magic of the place through someone else's eyes. What I've always loved about Efteling is the combination of music and the attention to detail in every nook and cranny. It makes it feel like a truly out-of-this-world fairytale place and I'm glad the three of you got to enjoy it that way, too. I also subscribed to you, because I absolutely adore the idea of going on a rollercoaster trip! Thanks so much for the video; it brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye to remember all of my visits through the years, and if you ever do make it back to the Efteling, do try to visit Villa Volta, because that's one awesome ride that you missed and deserves a visit. Also, btw, I'm impressed with your Dutch pronunciation. Keep it up! Who knows? You may just bag that hot Dutch guy. (I hope you don't think me too forward, but Dutch people are very direct and open-minded, so please don't take it as an insult!).

Unfortunately you guys seemingly missed my favourite attractions: Villa Volta and Raveleijn

I haven't waatched more than a few minutes yet, so I don't know if you mention it at some point, but the whole idea of the Efteling is that it's fairytales and folklore. Every. Single. Ride, location etc, all have a story that ties in with existing (Dutch) fairytales and/or folklore. Sometimes they make it really obvious by having an audio story read out before you go on the ride, other times it's in wall paint or decoration along the sides of the waiting line, or it's on signs next to the spot. Also, you guys mentioned the lockers, for any theme parks or museums, lockers are either free or you get the money back once you leave. The Fairytale Forest is actually one of the first things that got built in the park! It started as a playground, then they added in "Het Land van Laaf" or "Land of Laaf" and the Fairytale Forest. The park basically developed from the street out and away, until they hit the edge and started developing and improving within the park. I don't know if you guys realized it, but all the music from Aquanura are songs from the park.

I'm freaking jealous just how short the waiting lines are. Every time we go over there we have minimum 20 min waiting. You really picked a very good time to visit Efteling

as an efteling lover, im so happy to see yall enjoying this park so much :D would love to take you on a tour for all the amazing details that the park entails

Haven't been able to leave my bed today because I'm going through a bad heartbreak. Been watching your videos for hours now and I swear they're helping me get through this day.

Not sure what the reason was for your delay but in Europe if you're flight is delayed by over 3 hours you can apply for €250 per person compensation if it's something that is within the airlines control. There should be a link somewhere on the ryanair website for it.

I grew up in the Netherlands, Efteling is literally my favorite place in the entire universe. Especially Droomvlucht 💖💖

I agree! I’m such a sucker for non-Dutchies discovering Efteling. We’re so very lucky to have a beautiful park like this in our country!

Wasn't planning on watching the whole video *so long*, but I couldn't stop watching. Love it. Love your enthousiasm, and glad you went in rides like Droomvlucht (Dream Flight) and the dancing water lillies, etc, instead of only rollercoasters. Glad to see you noticed and appreciated all the theming of the rollercoasters too. The witte wieven (those ghost ladies) at Baron 1989 are warning you TWICE not to go into the mine. They will sabotage your descent, they sing that while you're in the train (?) already 😂 just to make you scared for the ride. When I was a kid the dragon reacting to you touching his treasure scared me, and some parts in Fata Morgana too 😂 Ohh and the troll king in the tree...there's a part of the ground in front of him, if you stand at the right place the ground is vibrating and shaking.

I dont even know how many times Ive rewatched this vlog and tried to re-like it! Thank you for sacrificing your sanity and your feet for the euro slaycation series

That wooden coaster is my favorite in the entire park, it already looks fast in the video but just know that thing is FAST and sometimes it can go even faster because it is a race coaster that has a random speed for each time it goes. One time i went on it and it went ongodly fast and i thought i was gonna fly out but it was so fun!

Efteling is technically my home park. I’m 44 but I only got appreciation for it after my (now 11 year old) daughter was born and we started visiting on an annual basis. We love it! Could have a few more thrills though. Great to see you also loved it!

We fell in love with Efyeling on our first visit this year ❤❤❤

Nice to had you here guys. We all do have so many stories to tell about the Efteling. Generation after generation. Love to see you visit the Netherlands again in the future. Believe me, many Dutchies are willing to show you around.

love Love LOVED this vlog! Watching people discover my childhood park is one of the best things to watch honestly, especially experiencing it through 'American eyes'. For many people from the Netherlands and Belgium this is our first encounter with the classic fairytales and even tho I love Disney, Efteling will always have a special place in my heart and returning to this park is a trip down memory lane :) Thank you for taking us along your discovery of the park and keep SLAYING!!

a coin pooping donkey existed in the fairy tale park (Märchengarten) in my home town in South Germany. Once luckily when I was already older I watched a staff member refill the donkey, a few families were already waiting impatiently. He lifted the tail removed a massive metal pipe (at least 1m long) out of the donkeys rectum. He then placed a replacement pipe filled with golden chocolate coins into the donkey. The children didn't care too much and were excited to get their go at catching a coin, but you could see their parents irritated reactions

1:07:10 That's not the Great Deku Tree. It's the Fairytale Tree and he tells stories about the character luving in the Fairytale Forest of Efteling. He is the narator of his own tv series, 'The Fairytale Tree'. There are a few English episodes on KZread, so you should really look it up. 💖

Well this is our home park and we are actually quite spoiled. We compare every amusement park to the Efteling 🙈. We used to go there at least 20 times a year when we lived near. Already showed my babygirl the park last summer and she loved it as well 🥰.

Efteling is my home park, since I live 30 minutes away from it, and a lot of the time I see people from other countries visiting it and not paying attention to all of the details that the park has. It has a huge history and uses that in a lot of stories and tales for attractions in the park. Glad you noticed a lot of the details and had a great time :)

Honestly the most magical this place has been was when I visited in the winter. It got dark and a little misty, and light illuminated my path as I just wandered around. It felt like I had actually been transported to a fantasy world. It was breathtaking

this is by far my favorite efteling vlog ever!! i'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much since its my favorite park ever and you should really come back some time for the winter efteling! you can ice skate in the park and have the best view with everything covered in snow! slayyy

I love that you’ve had an amazing experience at the Efteling! I live in the Netherlands and the Efteling always feels like a day full of Magic. ✨

I love that you guys still have that sense of wonder... and so could really enjoy the Efteling. I love that place too. First ime I went there was in 1960, before you giys were born 😊. At that time there was only the fairy tale forest and some basic playground rides such as a merry-go-round. The donkey "pooping" coins was already there, so was the guy with the very long neck and the giy tiding the magic carpet from the left building to the one on the right (and vice vetsa), play his flute and make the tulips come up... 👍😊

Dutchy heree! I’m an Efteling abbone. And I can tell you as you seen yourself. It’s the most magical place and I fall in love with it every single time ✨🍄♥️

You made me realise how lucky I am to have Efteling as my home park! Less than 1,5 hours by car

The castle next to the droomvlucht is called Ravelijn it’s a show that plays a few times a day.

every ride in the efteling has a storry it is really worth looking them up i love the story of max and morrits

Happy birthday, enjoy every step Alex

Great vlog. I always like watching first impressions of Efteling. I basically live around the corner and been there hundreds of times and know a lot of it's history. Also a fun little fact about Symbolica. A lot of people think the giant whale is just a screen projection but it's actually a real animatronic.

I love the Efteling i am so glad we live here so we can go whenever we want its only 45 min away from home. You mist some of the most fun things in the park like het scheve huis and the waterthing is realy fun.
