Fata Morgana and De Bazaar Maintenance

12 Wednesday Sep 2018

Posted by EftelingUK in All Updates and News, Fata Morgana, Products/Souvenirs, Updates from 2018

≈ Leave a comment

There’s some maintenance going on at Fata Morgana!  The ride and it’s shop will be closed for renovations for 5 weeks (from September 3rd), although the changes will be more technical than cosmetic.  The boats will undergo repairs, as well as the electricity and lighting being renewed and the plants in the first and last scenes being replaced.

One thing the guest will notice however, is the face-lift that the shop ‘De Bazaar’ is going to receive.  The design coordinator Annette Vishers says:

“It will be a store that does justice to the theme of Fata Morgana. Not only because of the Arabic elements, but also because of the new thematic presentation of the souvenirs. With large objects as real eyecatchers. During this maintenance we immediately pick up the facade of the store. Everything is repainted in the original colors and we add extra decorative elements.” 

Hopefully, the souvenirs will improve in the shop too! (I doubt it).

Here’s the artist’s impression of how the shop will look:

Fata Morgana Surprises

Efteling uploaded a video a couple of days ago which asked the question ‘Can Fathers still be astonished?’

Maybe you’d think not, but this is definitely the way to do it.  Whoever thought they’d ever see their wife belly dancing in Fata Morgana?!

The most impressive thing though, was the real Tiger!

Fata Morgana gets an Update

Bazaar

Fata Morgana is 28 years old now, and sometimes it feels like it could do with a refresh.  The ride has had a number of small changes over the years, inside and out, including new masks for the characters and many changes to the building itself.  The main difference with the ride will be new boats, which we’re quite interested to see.  Although details of the changes are sketchy at the moment, it seems that the changes will be more ‘enhancements’ than massive differences in the ride.  For example, the lasers in the Tilt Room were originally red, then they were changed to green, then this year they were changed back to red…so we’re expecting small changes like that.

There are many small details which have become noticeable after riding, such as limbs not seeming to be attached to the figures properly, effects not working or figures simply looking very rigid and dated.  Although we’re not expecting the animatronics to change, (there’s 104 of them!) it would be nice to see them get a little TLC.  In fact, not long ago, we’re sure that the Tiger got a new fur coat!  Check out this old video of the ride to get a closer look at the figures, you can see that many have not changed over the years.

Next, maybe Efteling could sort us out some Fata Morgana themed souvenirs for the Bazaar, instead of hookahs and random jewelry!

There are plenty of on-ride videos of different Efteling attractions available on the internet, but now, there are official Efteling ones available!  Obviously these are massive spoilers for anyone who hasn’t visited the park yet, but for the rest of us, they simply help us to get our Efteling fix in HD (actually, the videos are also available in 4K resolution 😮 )

Here’s a couple of the best ones:

The Efteling Hotel houses a great many themed rooms, including The Flying Dutchman, Cinderella, and the Laaf suite.  So of course, they had to have a Fata Morgana Suite!

It even has a whirlpool bath and a revolving bed!

It is undeniable that Efteling’s architecture is varied, interesting, and beautiful!  One of the first buildings you see after you’ve walked through the main entrance is Fata Morgana, and it definitely falls under the ‘beautiful’ heading.

Click here to take a look at some Fata Morgana photos.

If you’re an Efteling fan, you know how important the music is to each of the attractions.  Fata Morgana’s music is one of the most recognisable, so we had to share it as part of Fata Morgana February!

The music was composed by Ruud Bos, and there are 5 parts of music heard within the ride:

  • The Harem
  • The Harbor
  • The Market Place
  • The Eastern Jails
  • The Jungle

Fata Morgana Pardoes

Many years ago, the Fata Morgana store was home to a lot more souvenirs that were tied into the ride, and into the park itself.  In a time when the park’s mascot, Pardoes, was also more heavily featured in the park, Fata Morgana was the place to find Pardoes dressed in his best Arabian-themed outfit.

He was also seated on a yellow flying carpet, but it flew away for the photo.
