Efteling Vlog October 2023 

Those water blasters on piranha are actually guest operated and are active in good weather. You can find the totems to do that on a path that runs from piranha’s exit to the back of Joris, great fun. And another little known fact; the dragon is actually a girl, she’s called Edna :) great vid guys

After our first visit this year, Efteling has become one of our favourite parks! It is so magical ❤

Great to see you guys at Efteling again, welcome back! With Droomvlucht, apparently there was one of the gondola's (cars) that rolled back down a hill and bumped into another one but without too much incident (no one got hurt or anything, the bump supposedly wasn't too hard). That's apparently the problem that's keeping it closed at the moment. They open Vogelrok from time to time during maintenance as compensation. By the way fun fact (in case you did not know already), the guy with the stacks of pancakes in the final scene of Symbolica is Polle, the cook/owner of Polle's Keuken (the pancake restaurant across from Symbolica). There's a whole lore about all the characters linked to Pardoes!

Love Efteling. My Mum who is half Dutch used to visit when she was tiny and it was just the fairytale forest and park.

Love this video, you are so well-informed about all the developments etc. As for Halloween, the Efteling has a policy of being ‘other-Wordly’: this means you won’t see any holiday-themed decorations in there. It’s part of the world-building. Christmas also doesn’t ‘exist’ in the Efteling, although you will see some snowy trees and presents in the Winter Efteling. But never Santa or Elves!

Charlotte it’s our favourite ride in the park too ! We absolutely love FataMorgana as well , we prefer it to any other dark ride , it’s a classic , but dream flight runs it a close second, shame it was down. . We adore Efteling ❤

Used to go here at least once a year as a child, so nostalgic to me! It’s been a fee years since i’ve been there but i can’t wait to go back! Your videos make me feel like i’m there for a bit, thank you for the amazing content!!❤

Thank you so much for all of your content. I live in North Yorkshire which is no where near any major parks and all your content and infectious joy allows me to experience these incredible attractions from afar. Thank you so much ❤️

Efteling is such an amazing park. It’s one of my favorites! Another great Vlog!

I always laugh my ass off when Charlotte went for a water ride!!! 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work. Have fun throughout your Europe tour.

I love this park, wasn't able to go to it last summer but it's so great to see it's just as amazing as I remember

Was looking forward to 11:54 and was not disappointed. Always cracks me up when Shawn gives it another go! #baronachttienachtennegentig

LOVED bumping into you guys at Islands of Adventure on Me Ship, The Olive and then watching your Vlog from the Efteling, my Hometown park

My favourite European park, I'd easily take this over Disneyland Paris.

Hey you pair , so excited to see Efteling again … hope to visit one day in the future … just coz you pair recommend it ❤

Good to see you back here! 👍

What an amazing looking park, it gives me Europapark vibes. Thanks for sharing it.

One of the best parks, for sure. Good coasters, and really nice themes for their dark rides.

efteling is a great theme park glad you enjoyed

Looking forward to seeing this vlog :)!

One of my favorite places you go! Loved the vlog...

Regarding the financial difficulties at one of the sub-contractors for the construction of the Efteling Grand Hotel: they were actually declared bankrupt in September. I have heard however that a few days ago the company has been purchased by a different company and that activities will resume. I don't know how this will affect construction of the hotel. The construction sector in the Netherlands as a whole is going through difficult times at the moment, due to rising material costs and the fact the government has imposed very strict rules regarding the output of Nitrogen during construction. I work as an architectural drafter and even we have noticed work drying up due to uncertain conditions at our clients. It's actually a miracle the Efteling managed to get the permits to build both Danse Macabre and the Efteling Grand Hotel at the same time. I think it's due to the measures the park itself already takes to combat climate impact.

I love Efteling...been taking my kids there since they were little...now 24 and 29. Will hopefully be taking my grandchildren there at some point when I get them 😊

41:43 I love the talking tree at Eftling, but my friends don't. They have had nightmares and phobias on the talking tree at Eftling. But we are Americans. Most Americans don't take the time to visit Eftling or they get very few American visitors, but there is no way I am going to the Netherlands without visiting Eftling. I love the dark rides there.

Love seeing the European parks and how different they are from the American parks

I like to see how much you enjoy the Efteling every time you visit it! I totally agree with you, it’s a great themepark! I live in Tilburg, a town near the Efteling, and I visit the Efteling as many times as I can!

You two on water rides is hilarious.

Hi Shaw and Charlotte, The reason why a number of Fatasie paddlers did not ride on the track at Symbolica is as follows. The safety bars of the treasure tour opened during the ride. Apparently that was a difficult job and took a while. And Dreamvflight did not run because 2 ride vehicles collided. Fortunately no one was injured. Have a great trip guys!!!👍

I loved the family in the back of the boat ride going HAM

Love how some parks twin to get a free days entrance at another park. Great idea. Love eifterling, it looks magical.

Off to the Netherlands with the family on Wednesday and doing two days at Efteling (one night in hotel). Been really helpful to watch your vlog so thanks for all the info. Also heading to Phantasialand for a day and can't wait for that either!

I really have to look into sorting out a trip to this park. It looks amazing 😀

A ride like Symbolica is what pleasure wood hill needs so much would be so good for the park to bring more people in

Just got the notification of your 100,000 subscriber award for sanbrooke adventures cannot say how happy I am for you both looking forward to your content on both channels

Good vlog, great park. Would love to stay at Efteling maybe next year ? xx

Hilarious vid guys love all the little songs and funny voices. What an amazing park!!

Python reminds me of Corkscrew, my favourite back in the day at Towers ❤

Efteling definitely got to be done in 2024, might risk it in March. Take our time with a hotel stay too, loving the euro road trip - these parks are more realistic for us to do one day, hope you are having a great time still

I was hoping for a vlog of Efteling of you guys and here it is! Absolutely love this park and those vlogs! 🤩

Catching up on the vlogs, love the content guys keep up the awesome work

Yay! thought you would wait for next year for Danse Macabre and the Grand Hotel!

Always glad to see when you release new content.

Looks so good wish i could go there

Looks like a great park!

We were there for two days last week and Symbolica went down in the morning of our first day and didn't reopen while we were there - so whatever is broken, that's when it broke. A real shame to miss it - but Droomvlucht is our favourite and we got on that so we were chill about it...

Such a cute ride 5:25

Always a pleasure watching your Efteling vlogs! Such a shame ya'll came right when 'Droomvlucht' closed down! "One of the best necks I've ever seen" is a quote for the books!

Fair play charlotte getting more relaxed on the water rides im on catch up at the min

I like how Charlotte gets her own comments in. Starting to look like some professional broadcasters.

I love de Efteling ! 😊 .oOo. design & nature .oOo.

Amazing 🎉🎉

Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte

Ye ha let’s go big love guys😊

Oh that's interesting about the George and Dragon track because I thought it felt a bit rough a couple of weeks ago and I suppose that's why!😊

Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Efteling in The Netherlands! In this vlog, we experience many of our favorite rides at the park and take you along with on-ride POVs. This includes Baron 1898, Symbolica, Python, and many more fantastic attractions. We also check out the latest construction taking place on Danse Macabre, the new dark ride opening in 2024. Along with that, we take a stroll through the magical Fairytale Forest and much more! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte from the road trip. 😀😀👍👍

helix helix helix 😂

Awesome Video Guys 😄😄

2.09 mark gave me Pirate of the Caribbean vibes just come home from Disneyland ,

Nice vlog! Too bad Dream flight was down... :(. Next time you might wanna check out the kashba restaurant (next to vogel rok) from the inside. It is really nicely themed to Sindbad! The restaurant itself is external (it's a "la place" like you've also visited in Duinrell). Also we hope the chips were nice at Station de Oost! ;)

Sean you crack me up helix helix helix 😂

Happy Sunday TPW

An incident happened once on python when the train began moving when people were been evacuated but no one was injured

it's so fun to see you guys back in the efteling! are you coming to toverland this roadtrip or have you already been there?

Im so excited for the new hotel and themed area! Will you be visiting when it’s done?

About time Charlotte got a drenching

I'm only here for Shawn saying "Baron 1898".❤️‍🔥 11:50 I'm gonna ask a compilation for christmas

George and dragon looks awesome 😎

We rode Popeye three times last week … thought about Charlotte each time we got doused! 😂

Hi Shawn and Charlotte carnival festival soundtrack sounds like the Wallace and grommits sound track for thrillomatic sound track at bpb

Sounds like the Wallace and Gromit theme 49:35

Thanks to Theme Park Worldwide (and others) I'm now an annual pass holder at Efteling. Hope to see you for the opening of Danse Macabre!

Efteling💚

28:07 I was On It When You we're Filming This , I'm In The Front Row , Second Seat Next To The Person Wearing green ( or Grey I Think ? ), Wearing The Black Jacket. I Knew You Two Looked Familiar When I Saw You Standing There 😅 The " Wooohhhooo! " You Hear Was From Me 😅 , My First Ever Ride On A Dive Coaster , Loved It By The Way! 53:48 And Here I Sat Behind You In Row 2 , I Managed To Finally Meet You And Charlotte In The Cue , This Was My Last Ride For The Day because Afterwards I Headed Back Home With The Group I Was Visiting. I Seriously Never Thought I'd Catch You Two Before Heading Back But Luckely I Managed To Meet You Two On My Third And Last Ride Of The Day. It Was An Absolute Honor To Have Met The Couple Behind The Channel In Person. Hope To Meet You Again Some Day! ❤️

22:56 Congratz, you are now 'Nevelig Nat.

Long neck is just an icon for this channel 😂😂

39:10 if you know dutch its the funniest thing on earth like i was there 2 months ago and i didn't rember it and we were walking around "het sprookjesbos" when the attractions already closed we stood there and i laughed so hard i love that troll😂 (the name did good😂)

This park looks amazing I think you said Netherlands? You make me want to travel when I don't have the money and a baby haha maybe one day 😊

Hi Shawn and Charlotte I hope you’re having a great time I went to Alton Towers on Saturday it was a great day out going in all the scare mazes and the rides all the scare mazes were good it is hard to pick the best scare maze all the theming in the scare mazes we’re good Saturday week I am off to Thorpe park in 2 weeks time on a Saturday

Can’t decide whether to try Portaventura or Efteling and Wallibi next year.

good effort on pronouncing "baron 1898"😁. you're getting there haha. thanks again for a great video. keep up the great work.

How funny! I'm just about to watch day 2 of your efteling 2020! Lol! No masks on the last 3 parks not wise back then! xxx

When you know your way around, you can do what you want to do in 1 day ;-) If people come to Efteling for the first time, 1 day isn't enough! I will be going with 3 babies next autumn vacation 2024 and we'll be staying there for 5 days in a 12 person Boshoeve! Greetings from the Netherlands...

I love max and martiz best ride of all 😊❤

Would love to go to Efteling! Better at Christmas or in the summer? Great vlog!

The dragon is not a he..but a she her name is Edna, protecting her eggs..Not that it matters but yeah..Great vlog as always..Love you guys! Edit: i was wrong apparently..it is not a she but a he...oh well

I was in the park the same day and unfortunately we didn't see eachother. The only time I met you was in Europa Park a few years ago! Better luck next time!

❤❤❤❤subed.

That park looks beautiful First

Good to see you guy’s back in the Nederland 🇳🇱. Wil you be going to walibi Holland ?

Baron Ackenackennegenen ❤

I am today in the park. A little bit rainy today😅

Max + Morritz, it looked quite Baron before 🤣

YOOO WELCOME BACK AGAIN!! is toverland up next?

@32:25 has some Jurassic World: The Ride (Universal Studios Hollywood) vibes, but preceded it by two years!

Baron achtinachtign? I was like... was that chinese? 😅 Love it! It's like Baron achttien achtennegentig. 😉 Thank you for the review!

Could you please do hallowscream at york maze it is so fun and you would get the screams inside there. I dont know how long its on for but its so good i recommend it for you two.

Got an American vibe about that sign 25:04

i think they should always keep the theme of the park.....well..... like the fairytales... more medieval looking... more so than the 17th century pirate ship ot the baron based in 1894...did i get the year correct.?.... well, i think that the medieval era theme gives the park that magic feeling... what do you guys think.... we dont want them to start making rides based on ... say the 21st century or the future ... like a terminator ride... or sigourney weaver and the Aliens ride.

I went to Efteling Oct 7th and it was saying that Vogel Rok was closed. At about 5pm, they decided to open the ride and I only knew because I saw the waiting time on the app. I was really lucky, because it was my first visit and I was really looking forward to riding Vogel Rok :) I still don’t know why they just decided to open it at the end of the day, but it was awesome! 😂 But I wasn’t lucky at all in regards to waiting times… the park was packed and the queue to Symbolica was over 60min the entire day! 😢😢

Heeyy Shawn and Charlotte! Happy to see you both back at my favorite local themepark! Piraña a lazy river? This waterride can be very fickle and unpredictable sometimes! I've had a couple of rough rides last months in there. I was soaked. 😂 -Keep on sharing the positive vibes! ✨ Next time would love to see you vlog about the new Danse Macabre!
