jedimaster1227 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 This should be a great addition to the park's already stellar lineup! Can't wait to see footage of the ride it is completed!
Illegal_Alien Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 They also started with "Het Loonsche Land " the second bungalow/vacationpark next to Bosrijk adding 90 houses and appartment buildings. Costs: another 30 million euro`s...
ElvisLuv Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 They will get my money in 2018 along with a couple of nights lodging. This should be a great thing to check out.
larrygator Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Screamscape reports it will be trackless also. Awesome.
blk_mamba Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Looks like the ride will be a disney like castle with a dark ride like the castle they are building @ Shaghai
Volgera Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 oh hell no, I don't like the word "disney-like" to compare that castle with the style they have in Disney. Disney has a completely different style in comparison to the Efteling. the Efteling is very nature-based and works with a lot more nature colors than Disney does. Especially with that huge-ass pink castle of theirs lol (talking about disney paris to clear up any confusion btw, been there last year. it was beautiful, but very different from the Efteling)
JooordiW Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Construction update: Bron: @symbolica_news & Themepark.nl Some extra details: - Vehicle: A vehicle called Fantasy seafarer with up to 6 people in vehicle (two rows of three persons). It will be a carriage-like vehicle. - No interaction in the form of a gun/wand - The ride is 6/7 minute longs. - The tallest tower is about 30 meters. - Every ride is different according to the Efteling. - The part of Pardoes is limited in darkride. -
KarlaKoaster Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the update. I only visited last year (and LOVED it) so can't wait to revisit for this as their dark rides are just brilliant and are of Disney standard in my opinion. Can I check this is going right the middle of the hub area which used to have the fountain and sometimes had a temporary stage? If so, this will be such a great place for the ride.

If so, this will be such a great place for the ride. That's right, it comes at the end of the boardwalk. This will be the view soon: (boardwalk is where the people standing)

JooordiW Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 They officially started with the construction of Symbolica: In the coming week a total of 646 piles will put into the ground as a foundation system for the palace. And from above:
StealthFan Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Wow thats a bigger chunk of land than I was expecting. Im sure the park will do a great job on this as the usually do and maybe this when completed may get me back out to the park.
RCT3Bross Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I hope they get the Pagode (the parks flying island ride) to open during when the footing is complete. We should get a full scoop on the building's size then. But this is a huge chuck of land they cleared and I'm sure they make something great on it again.
Volgera Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 just a quick heads up; the Pagode is actually open again so people can start making air-view photos of the building progress (which is really cool!)
Themelander Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 That's a very big area for a new darkride. Awesome to see all those skyviews, makesnit mutch beter to follow this project.
BDG Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 A new addition to the Fairytale Forest opened today: Pinocchio.
JooordiW Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Awesome new farytale! Here some screens: Source: rides.nl And small news about Symbolica: Efteling has been on a working visit to Sea World and Disney's California Adventure. They were very impressed with the techniques but have a different supplier than Disney.
RCT3Bross Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I hope the GP can tell that the Efteling didn't went with the Disney story. It's very bold for the park to build a Fairy tale that is mostly known in it's Disney form. I like the idea and the finished product but it worries me a little bit.
Ethir Nandor Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I hope the GP can tell that the Efteling didn't went with the Disney story. It's very bold for the park to build a Fairy tale that is mostly known in it's Disney form. I like the idea and the finished product but it worries me a little bit. The Efteling has been at it since 1952. Their fairy tales have always been more 'Grimm' than 'Disney'. It has not been a problem for their popularity. On the contrary, many people (like me) prefer it because there is already so much Disney in the world. I also prefer their more 'real'/gritty representation. For the small children - where these small fairy tales in the Efteling are aimed at - everything is magic: I don't think they even associate it with Disney's version.
JooordiW Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Update: The new trash bin is ready to use: At Symbolica are they also busy (all the ground piles are in the ground): (Bigger screen: http://www.vijfzintuigen.nl/photos/155846_real.jpg) And some ground activities by 'Het Loonsche land' Source: @Sjiebert & Eftelingfan
RyanTPM Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 ^Looks like they're moving at a very quick pace with construction, the area looks huge too!
