Symbolica - Dark Ride for Efteling 2017 - POV!

Baron 1898 is open for 6 months and Efteling has already started construction on a new ride!



Symbolica is the name of this project.

Price: 35 million euros / 38 million dollars

Efteling confirmed on their website the ride will have interactive elements and that the ride will have 3 different routes to take. (Maybe choosing a route will be an interactive element?)

The Efteling community is suspecting a trackless system.

Fencing has already gone up.

Well that was out of nowhere. Knowing Efteling this will be beautiful. I have high hopes for this!

^^ I can see a mini Walt Disney-like statue. That completely fits in with the park stuff.

^That doesn't fit in walt disney at all because Its 100% Efteling

^ Oops I forgot to say that statue at Efteling was as cute as the mascot for Parc Asterix was!

Wow a 38 million dollar dark ride. Really shows who the target audience is!

Efteling is, I think, becoming an extreme thrill park.

Not really. And it probably never will. With only a few "Thrill" rides it doesn't make it an extreme thrill park. It will remain a family park. Even Baron might be a B&M, but it's far from intense or extreme. It's perfect for all general audiences.

It has been a while, here is an update!

So what exactly is it?

Indoor ride, I guess.

Its an interactive trackless dark-ride where the cars can go 3 different routes!

This could be huge

^ The ride will be placed exactly in the middle of the park at the main square (just like Disney builds their castles in the middle of their parks). So it should become a really good ride, else they will fail by having a bad/mediocre ride as their 'Disney castle'.

^^^ Is it just me or are they setting up giant pumpkins lol? Hope not!

Update!

^ nice!

[Coasterkidmwm]

Looks like something people wish they could make in Parkitect lol.

I wonder if we can say that we feel retro-futurism!

Highest point reached!

The rockwork has begun
