Disney4me Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM Report Posted Thursday at 02:53 PM Efteling, one of Europe’s most popular theme parks — and one of our favorites — just announced the official opening date for its newly refreshed land, Raveleijn! ©Efteling Earlier this year, the park confirmed major changes were coming to the Raveleijn area of the park, which they said would be “completely transformed with a new storyline, decor and impressive show effects,” including a new open-air “rotating flying experience” attraction. Now, we finally know when we can experience it — December 1st! Mark your calendars for December 1st, because that’s when Raveleijn will reopen at Efteling theme park! This newly refreshed land will feature a new attraction, a “rotating flying experience” that will allow visitors to “soar as if on the wings of ravens,” called Ravenring. Koen Sanders, Efteling’s Director of Product, Market & Image, described the new land in a press release, saying, “In line with our vision of full immersion, we are looking at the entire area surrounding the park show in this development. The story of Raveleijn lends itself perfectly to this.” Efteling Ravenring will be a horizontally rotating wheel in which 36 visitors per ride will take their seats in one of the 18 winged vehicles, inspired by the ravens of Raveleijn. The ride’s storyline revolves around recruiting “new heroes” to continue protecting the city of Raveleijn in the future by taking part in a “flying ritual reserved only for true heroes.” After their flight, guests will discover which of the five magical elements suits them best: blue for water, red for fire, green for wood, brown for earth, and purple for metal. The new attraction will be just outside the open-air arena, and the park show will undergo a complete transformation, meaning that it will be performed more often than ever before: several times a day and almost year-round. Park guests will also be able to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner in Inn De Verslaeghen Draek, and shop for souvenirs at In den Ravenkorf. ©Efteling Efteling also recently announced another new ride, Missie Luminar. Missie Luminar will be the first suspended launch coaster at Efteling, where the vehicles hang below the track and are launched on takeoff. Riders will become “missionauts,” who start their expedition in a scientific institute. Here, riders will get instructions about the mission before boarding their vehicles with 17 other missionauts. ©Efteling The real adventure starts with a spectacular launch. The intense ride will last more than two minutes and will be full of speed, surprising elements, and several moments of weightlessness. Will you manage to reach the ultimate goal and break the light barrier? ©Efteling We’ll be on the lookout for additional Efteling updates you need to know about and more.
