Gerstlauer1 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hello. As the description says, the off-season is slowly killing me... I have discovered that both Toverland, Efteling and Phantasialand is open during the wintertime. So now my questions is as follows: - Is all the big attractions open in the winter in these parks? (Joris En De Draak, Troy, Black Mamba etc.) - Is there any specific days that is better than others? I live in Denmark and a drive trip to the Netherlands would be a bit sad if the biggest attractions in the park aren't open. Please help. - Thanks!

Jeroen_twee Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 For Efteling: the rides are open, but if the weather is bad, they will close it. That would be like 5 degrees or less, but Im not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Phantasialand: Everything, except the water rides, are opened. That means you´ll be able to ride all the coasters of the park and in the wintertime the park opens until 8 pm and has an amazing illumination! There are some small improved snow attractions for kids, too. Toverland: I knew from last year, that they normally open Troy and Booster Bike in the winter time, but it depends also on the temperature; last year for example was a way too cold and frozen for everything in all parks. But you´ll have good chances when you visit the parks in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviadigit Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Except for Piraña(rapid river) and Flying Dutchman, Efteling runs most of their rides when it's above 0 degrees. Although during the off-season some of them are closed for refurbishments a couple of weeks. The schedule of that is on their website. The outdoor area of Toverland is open on weekends, Wednesdays and Dutch school holidays, so make sure to plan your visit to Toverland on one of those days. I would also advise to plan a full day at Toverland because usually the bigger rides(Troy, Booster Bike) are only opened for a couple of hours. You can also give them a call in the morning so you don't have to show up at 10 AM when the coasters open somewhere in the afternoon. I don't really know what Phantasialand's policy is on closing their rides but during my visit last year all of the coasters were operating and it was one of the coldest days of the year. If you visit Efteling on weekends they're open until 8 pm and the park is deserted for the last two hours. Then again, if you visit on weekdays the park is also quite empty. When you're there you really shouldn't miss the 3D projections they have on Villa Volta(Vekoma madhouse) this year. After dark they play every 10 minutes or so... Hope this helped!
