De Vliegende Hollander!

**Thriller** · 02-01-2006, 10:24 AM

Okay,

So most of you are thinking "what's that gibberish", right? Well, the title is the name for the newest attraction at the best theme park outside of Disney: De Efteling.

It's a park in Holland, based on myths, fairy tales and legends, some uniquely dutch but others quite well known like Snow White and all the others.

This new ride, with the name translating to the Flying Dutchman, will be based on exactlty that myth. It's a walkthrough (queue), darkride, and a watercoaster (indeed, ending with a splash). It looks cool and I cannot wait to ride it when I receive my season pass in March!

I will have to visit this when it is open. What part of the Netherlands is this?

^^ I'll second that, along with being one of the most beautiful themed parks I've ever been to. Yet another well themed addition to their already impressive collection.
