An onride in the evening (during daylight I wasn't allowed to film):

Max & Moritz will open June 20th. 4th till 19th of June there will be season pass holders previews. This means this might be my last construction update for this project.

Fairytale Forrest is open, like you can see in this movie. One direction, no short-cuts and 4 teams of castmembers who clean everything. Aquanura will be operational as soon as the maintenance is finished. I don't know, but I've heard there are 5 numbered 'boxes' on the floor in the pre shows. I guess the main show has these too. This means 5 'families' can visit Villa Volta each time the doors open.

I went to the seasonpass holders pre opening today, and I made a little movie which shows the things Efteling does against Corona.

They get one track each and go 2 rounds. Today the first train arrived, and the first animatronic showed himself.

Efteling has placed a magical telescope. When you look through this telescope, you see flying dragons.

The Raveleijn show has a few changes. The fights were changed, and there is a new fight on the roof of the gate. I filmed it from two locations: to the right on one of the first rows, and on the left on one of the back rows. Left side: Right side:

Just use the subtitles button. It's the one left of the settings button. In the settings menu you can change the language.

You know what day it is tomorrow, right? Ssssh!

Here is my offride: Looks more smooth. Efteling has also announced some special changes (with subtitles): Starting tomorrow, even babies could ride Python!

Today (sunday) there were people working on the project. I saw painters and gardeners. Just a few days untill opening day!

Moving images:

Something called 'maintenance'.

I went too, and I made a little movie...

Making-of, part 4.

No. The building is way to small for that.

Yeah, they are better without them.

Not confirmed. The tunnel is confirmed, and the ride should be finished in 10 months. The length or depth of the tunnel is nog confirmed.

They learned a lot since VH... After that, they went with GCI for Joris and the Dragon, WET for Aquanura and Puy du Fou for Raveleijn. According to Eftelist, this one will be B&M. They know what they are doing, so I don't think the ride would be as delayed as VH.

More info from the same newspaper: - Bosrijk gets houses for groups of 25 people - Efteling tries to attract people from further away - New attractions will have four languages (I presume Dutch, English, German and french) - Efteling will be the place to be for events and festivals - The divecoaster should attract more people from the ages 10 - 15 - Fairytale Forest will get investments too - Darkride Hartenhof is still on hold, but will be build before 2020 - Efteling is going to team up with zoo Beekse Bergen and nature parks Loonsche Duinen and Drunense Duinen - Coming years the entrance fee will have a slight rise - Last few years the number of seasonpassholder is doubled (to 70.000) - After 2020 Efteling and Loon op Zand/Brabant will talk about an own road to the parking

Dutch Newspaper I am not going to translate the whole thing, Dutch is easy enough to understand, it's just like English. Just the main points: - Efteling builds Divecoaster (with a 37 meter drop) and invests 36 milion Euro - Bosrijk (I believe the English name is Efteling Village) gets 400 beds more - Total amount of beds will be 1550 - Efteling still wants to get 5 milion visitors in 2020 - The coaster will get a story EDIT: - Fons Jurgen has it's first day as new CEO today.

This is the version of Pandora's Box, rumored to be for Efteling's Hartenhof ride. Full document Thanks to Rick Markestein on Themepark.nl. EDIT: The whole ride is going to cost 42 million Euro.

Ive been on Hollywood Tour, a darkride at Phantasialand, alone. The boat stopped in the last scene, because the other boats were still at the station and lifthill (at the end of the ride), so I had to wait for the other boats to go away

Efteling is not in holland, so I looked it up. The southern parts of the Netherlands, were Efteling is, has their break 30th of June till 12th of August 2012. The other parts of the Netherlands later on.
