Hello, I went to Efteling today with my girlfriend, It was a 1hour 45min drive from our house and we got there around 10.45am, The park is great, from the moment we arrived I was impressed. The weather couldn't decide if it was hot or raining but it didn't spoil our day. It was kind of busy in the morning, maximum waits were 35mins but that turned into 5 mins waits from about 2.30pm onwards. The park wasn't too over priced ,food and gifts were all reasonable prices, The operations were great and the rides and theming were great. A thumps up from me for this park.

First up was the Baron 1898, I thought it look small so I wasn't expecting to much from the drop but it was great! and the theming was awesome. I loved the pre show and the way the queue line was done inside the building. The drop the awesome and the helix packed a punch. I was sat at the back and only got the slightest bit of airtime on the bunny hill. I went single rider and waited 15mins

Then I rode the Python, Standard Vekoma made so much better with the vest restraints, no head banging what so ever. waited in line for 10 mins.

The flying Dutchman water coaster was such fun, didn't really no what I was in for, the dark ride part was awesome and the effects were great. We waited around 20 mins for this ride.

In the next 45 mins we rode both sides of George And The Dragon, The parks racing GCI coasters. I preferred the red side but my girlfriend preferred the blue side. I loved the station, when you came back to the station if you were on the side that won, banners dropped down from the roof, I thought that was a nice touch.

I rode the baron again after lunch which had a queue line of 15min cut down from 30, So they closed the single rider line. The second time was just as good as the first time. And then we rode so of the more gentle rides and walked around the fairytale section of the park.

Next up was the Swiss Bob, this was actually really fun. I'd never been on a Intamin bob coaster before so this was my first and I loved it.it really fitted to the park and it was a walk on with no line.

last was Vogel Rok, a vekoma dark coaster. It was fun very similar to the one at Phantasialand, And this was also a walk on.

We then rode the Red side of the wooden coasters again and then the Water coaster which were both walk ons before heading back home.
