Groteslurf Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 First we planned a dayvisit to De Efteling, then we wanted to make it a 4 day trip to De Efteling, MPG, CentrO and Phantasialand. But as for some reason all hotels near MPG & CentrO were full, the trip was shortened again to a 2 day trip. But I took lots of pictures during those 2 days so that this TR will consist out of 4 parts : 1. De Efteling 2. De Efteling hotel 3. Moviepark Germany 4. Horror Fest Traffic jam School Pov again Deforming mirrors See ? They love it. Brewery Yummy ! Bakery Burping and farting stair Land van Laaf Shop Teacups My youngest daughter really like it. Carnaval Festival Inside what probably is the smoothest Vekoma I know. Vogel Rok Honey, I'm leaving you. My daughters were allowed to do a walk-back. Pov. No, I don't want to ride you ... Take the tunnel ! It doesn't look like it, but you actually don't get wet at all. My wife and youngest daughter waiting for us. But now it was already shaking a bit. Not painful yet though. I remembered it to be a nice ride. It's been already a while since I rode De Vliegende Hollander. Actually it has been since the press opening that I rode it. My oldest daughter and I. While we were already in the station, they started loading the other side of the station aswell. Front of the boats. As they were only loading at one side of the station, there was a 10 minutes waiting row. Together with the 10 minutes row at Droomvlucht, those were the only lines we had to conquer during our visit. The waiting row is in fact the best part of the ride. Entering. The new duelling woodies will rise over there. De Vliegende Hollander Python. First ride of the day. Did I mention the park is beautiful ? As we entered the park at the other side of the park, it looked like we were the only ones in the park. De Efteling is really one of the most beautiful parks I've ever been to. There are about 10 of those things spread over the park and kids really like it and they pick up every piece of paper from the ground to throw it in those things. Cedar Fair, are you reading this ?? We entered the park through the special hotel entrance. My daughters started cleaning up the park immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Continuation of De Efteling Next update : Efteling Hotel On our way to the hotel, my daughters rerode this. Radja River 10 minutes wait. This is the shortest wait I've ever seen for Bobbaan. Unfortunately, the ride broke when we wanted to enter the row so we skipped it. Yeah baby ! Small rant : there was a short wait because the ride-ops decided to load the boats like this. Time for Fata Morgana Pandadroom building Carrousel building Diorama But first, let's finish the fairy tail forrest Fata Morgana Main entrance building Something new is being built here aswell. Boob credit Sitting duck ... euh, I mean, shitting donkey. This story is written by our previous queen. God, I'm so proud !!! Hey you in the back .... get out of my picture ! Knock, knock ... When I was a kid, I loved to sit on those things too. And we're in the fairy tail forrest. White horse. Themed book Another one. This chap is the oldest one in the park and is celebrating his 50th aniversary this year. Droomvlucht The new showarena scheduled to open in 2011 will be built here. Droomvlucht. My favorite attraction at De Efteling. Villa Volta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groteslurf Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Efteling Hotel. As I only live about 40 minutes driving from De Efteling, we actually never stayed for the night at the Efteling Hotel, although I'm a huge addict to themeparkhotels. My daughters didn't have school on Thursday and Friday, weather forecast was great, so we decided to make it a more day trip and stay for the night at De Efteling Hotel. Time to eat. Pardoes joining the table. Wassup ? Time for dinner. While waiting for food, my daughters got something to do. I want something like that in my garden. Some other themed suites. Kids area Almost time for dinner. But first some more hotel exploring. Beatles drinking coke. I was able to keep an eye on my car while being at our room. Venus in furs. My daughters really enjoyed the room. Ok, there is more to drink. Bedroom Museum stuff The company story Damn, only 4 free Cola bottles. When entering the room, we felt like entering a Coca Cola museum. My wife was happy with the Senseo coffiemaking machine in the room. Ok, on to the room. The Coca-Cola suite was still available so we decided to take that one. Hotel entrance to the park. But before we go to the room, some more lobby theming. I made an online reservation but the themed suites couldn't be booked online. So I was glad there were still themed suites available when checking in. But never have been inside. I knew how it looks from the outside. Like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks Benny, I used a couple of flat ride photos for the Park Index. The park looks so different without Divv hungover in the background of every picture. The Efteling hotel (themed to a floating castle) is certainly one of the most unique theme park hotels.

the ghost Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 For how nice of a park moviepark Germany looks they seem to have a terruble ride collection. I mean SLC, RCCA woodie, and various kiddie coasters does not make it seem very appealing in a coaster sense. Anyway, it looks like you had a good time, which is what really matters.

Groteslurf Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Final update : Horror Fest @ Moviepark Germany We left before it got dark. Next year I HAVE to visit Horror Fest again. I want to be a make up artist at MPG Yeah baby ! This guy was awesome too. See ? She's ready ! Should have take a pic of their butt Not sure that the little guys in the background liked it. Hooray ! Another chainsaw guy. 'Don't mention the war' My personal favorites : halloween clowns. Still looking very happy. Really a lot of scare actors. 'I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, ...' I liked this one too. Hot chicks. The butcher I love chainsaw guys. A lot of scare actors at Horror Fest. My oldest daughter is probably ready to join me on my Halloween trips next year. Nice horsie Horror Fest has begun. Getting darker. 'Mama & papa are going to do the 'adult' halloween maze.' Can you imagine I once waited 75 minutes to enter this maze ? 'Whatever happens, STAY SEATED till we're back'. The old Gremlins building now functioning as Halloween darkride. 'Papa, do you think that's scary ?' Hey weirdo ! Oh look. An 'adult' maze which is already open. Posing safely next to her sister. Posing for a picture near a skeleton was still okay. Although the youngest one was too sure about that. My kids didn't dare to go inside. Oow, a spider room !! For the first time ever, I was allowed into the kids maze. Since we had the kids with us, we didn't plan to stay too late at the park, but still we wanted to enjoy the event as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
