As if anyone needed another reason to go to Efteling, but here’s one regardless.  We’ve mentioned this recently, however now there is more indication of when the new Efteling resident will arrive.  Efteling are opening their 29th Fairy Tale in the Fairy Tale Forest in Spring 2016.  Around €2,000,000 has been allocated for this attraction, and it is the newest since The Emperor’s New Clothes opened in November 2012.

It seemed like a strange choice in one way, because we seem to expect something from the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen in Efteling; in fact, the CEO of Efteling has mentioned that he would like to see an Ugly Duckling fairy tale in the forest.  However, we have faith that Efteling will make a beautiful job of this fairy tale, as they do with everything else!  The only worrying thing is this:Pinokkio

Does anybody else feel uneasy about this little wooden head?  He looks a little like a toffee apple that has been dipped in chocolate.  That is a promotional image from the Pinokkio musical, taking place in September, so of course, who’s to say that that is the Pinokkio that will be installed into the Fairy Tale Forest? (Fingers crossed that whatever he looks like, he looks a little less creepy than this guy!).

The new attraction will be built between the Red Shoes and Little Red Riding Hood, where ‘In de Noordpool’ currently stands.  This little food shack hasn’t really been used for decades, so it isn’t such a great loss.  Something else that is most likely being turfed out to make way for Pinokkio is this:

P1000451

Out with the old, in with the new!  Although we do hear that this gentleman is going to be receiving lodgings elsewhere in the park, so he doesn’t have to pack his bags just yet.

From here, we can still wonder, hope and dream about what the 30th fairy tale will be when it arrives.  Maybe the Ugly Duckling?  There are so very many to choose from, but until then, we have Pinokkio to look forward to.

It’s the spookiest day of the year!

Back in 2009, Efteling did something spooky themselves, involving a light-fingered witch.  This witch had stolen some key objects from the Fairy Tale Forest, and they were scattered in various locations, not in Efteling, but around the Netherlands!

Here’s a video of the whole story!

A while ago, we were asked if we wanted to write an article for MiceChat.com about Efteling.  So of course we couldn’t pass up the opportunity!  We asked you all to send us your thoughts on Efteling, and a few of you did, which we included in the article.  Today, it was published on the site, and we’re happy to share it with you now 🙂

With thanks to Keith Gluck and Dusty Sage.

Wat Als…/What If…

We posted one of these videos a couple of weeks ago, but now there have been a few more!  They are only around 10 seconds long each, but they made us giggle, especially the mushroom one 🙂  For those of us who do not speak Dutch, here is a rough translation of the titles:

What if the Wolf had no point in eating Red Riding Hood?

What if all the Red Shoes were dancing?

What if there was music from all mushrooms?

What if there was no paper for Holle Bolle Gijs?

This could go on forever!  What if all donkeys popped out gold coins?  What if all mirrors talked?  What if Langnek got a stiff neck?

For the Dutch Visitors…

There is a really cool Efteling page that has recently gone live, where you can personalize your own story, starring yourself!  It is completely in Dutch, however, I managed to figure my way through it to create my own story, so you could do the same if you don’t speak Dutch!  The best part is when you get to read through your story, as all of the images move and do little things.

To create your own, click here.

On another note, we are now called ‘Efteling UK’ on Twitter, for anyone who is wanting to follow us.

Thanks for reading and keep checking back!

The Frog King: Ball Troubles!

I thought I would share this video with you all, as I find it quite amusing.

On a visit in 1997, two staff members at Efteling were trying to get the golden ball to stay up in the stream of water between the four frogs in Herald Square.  It took them a few attempts and a couple of soggy trouser legs, but they got there in the end!  It was fun to watch 🙂

On a side note, I have edited the Sprookjesbos page and added dates for each of the attractions in the fairy tale forest…It is surprising how old some of the things in there are!
