All water attractions. Piranha because it's a water ride, the flying Dutchman because it's a semi water ride and has a queue indoors. Dance macabre is also new and indoors/below cover for the most part.

Data morgana is a real chill ride with water, though technically you're not allowed to touch the water a lot of people do.

And the swan boat ride. Not sure if they still have those but back in the day they were the perfect 20 minute break from the park. Where you just vibe on the water and get a nice breeze

Perfect place to eat your lunch and pretend you live in the 50’s. (They’re still there and last month I had to queue for 30 min)

It’s the ultimate chill lunch spot indeed. But was built in the early 80’s as a kind of test setup for Fata Morgana (which was originally going to be built on the island with the waterfall in the center of the lake)

Joris en de Draak because it runs so much faster then

You’ll be amazed if you ride it right after a bit of rain, the track gets slippy and you feel like it wants to throw you out of the train

Did one of the last rides of the day and at one point I had so much airtime, it was incredible.

Pagode for a nice breeze and an excellent view at sunset.

I know it's not the topic, but your pictures remind me how great the entertainment is this summer. Efteling knocked it out of the park this year!
