60 anniversary, 60 jaar, aquanura, efteling, efteling uk, fountains, WET

We haven’t posted much since Easter, but in that time, Aquanura has been progressing steadily.  Recently they have had the ‘water choreographer’ in, who has also worked on similar shows in Dubai and Las Vegas.  The choreographer is responsible for programming the water to essentially tell a story, along with the coloured lights and fire effects, led by music, which has been recorded by the Brabant Orchestra.  The show is being tested in phases, before the public get to see it in all its glory on May 31st.

Here is the new trailer:

And here is another taster of what is to come!

As a side note, regular readers will remember that my aim was to get Efteling UK’s Facebook page to 60 ‘likes’ before the 60th anniversary on May 31st.  We actually have 59 ‘likes’ currently, so we are very close to the goal!  Share us with your friends!

I have been aware of this site for a while now, and I thought that I would share it with anyone who may not have come across it.  Mini Efteling opened in 1985 and was/is managed mainly by children, with a little help from older volunteers.  Tours of Mini Efteling last about 3 hours and cost €5, and if you want to visit, you are urged to make a reservation in advance.

Here is a slideshow of some of the things you can see at Mini Efteling.

It looks like a really fun place to visit, and it isn’t too far from Efteling!

It is Efteling UK’s first Easter, so Happy Easter to all of our readers!  Here is a photo from the late 90s of some flowers which I think are where the Chinese Nightingale now stands.

Keep in touch on Facebook and find us on twitter, and enjoy lot of Easter eggs!

Best Fairytale, and a Huge School Trip!

Earlier this week, Efteling set up a poll on their Facebook page for people to vote on their favourite fairytale in the fairytale forest.  By quite a lot of votes, the Indian Water Lilies won (which I also voted for).  People have good taste!  Find out more about the Indian Water Lilies here.

Something else which took place recently at Efteling was a huge school trip.  How huge?  As huge as 1,800 children who arrived from 13 primary schools on 36 buses!  Please spare a thought for anyone who went to Efteling that day hoping for a quiet stroll around the park 😉

60 jaar, aquanura, efteling, eftelinguk, vonderplas

It is April already!  Not long until it is officially Efteling’s 60th birthday, and Aquanura’s construction is still progressing steadily.  The Vonderplas has been filled with 4,000m3 of water…that is a whole lot of water!

It is starting to shape up nicely!

Keep up to date with all the goings on at Efteling by clicking ‘subscribe’ on the left of this page, and search ‘Efteling UK’ on Facebook to share your love for the park with other Efteling fans!
