Well, let's tell something about efteling.
This park is the bets family park in Holland (and in my opinion the whole Benelux). The atmosphere just seems to sneak up on you. The rides are nicely themed (mostly fairytale theming) and just scream: "ride me!" Beceause the rides and coasters are pretty cool and not so extreme, everybody loves to ride them.
First the 4 coasters. We start with the oldest: Python. This steel corkscrew coaster dates from 1980 and is for his age a pretty cool coaster. 4 inversions (2loops and 2 corkscrews) make you twist in your seat. The third coaster is "the Bob"or Bobbaan. This is a winter themed bobsled coaster. Nice speed and a not so smooth ride are the combination of this kick-ass coaster. The third built coaster is pegasus. Operating since 1991. It is a very compact and fast wooden coaster. Altough he isn't high, he has tight turns at pretty high speed. The last build coaster is Vogel Rok. Build by vekoma it is a indoor-dark coaster themed 1001 nights style. High speed and suprising light/laser effects are the game in this coaster. It also has some nice music in the queu and during the ride.
Now I'll describe the best flat-rides in the Efteling. First you have Carnaval Festival. A kiddy ride wich make you go around the world seeing al kinds of cartoony puppets playing a song. This song is very catchy by the way. Every Dutchmen can sing it. The second ride is "Droomvlucht" (Dreamflight, not a catchy name in english;) ) You'll fly around a forest inhabited by elves and gnomes which are living happily together. This is the best themed ride in the Efteling. 3th ride you should hear about is Fata Morgana. A middle-east themed boat ride. Last but not least you have Pirana. A Inka themed rapid-ride.
If you ever come to Holland and you would like to see a nice park wich is good for you, your granny, your dad, and your lil'bro or sis, yo should come to the Efteling.
