Efteling Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

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)

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.

That's right, it comes at the end of the boardwalk.

 

This will be the view soon: (boardwalk is where the people standing)

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.

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.

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.
