Efteling fans across the world are now able to explore the World of Wonders from their homes, thanks to a new online platform.
Although the south-Holland-based fairytale theme park is open once again with enhanced safety measures in place, this new virtual platform has been created to allow those that are unable to travel yet to still have the Efteling experience. The platform also gives a taster of the variety of attractions at Efteling for those that are planning a visit.
The platform enables users to invite family and friends to experience Efteling together - virtually.
Once registered on the platform, visitors can choose up to 12 rides from a collection of on-ride videos to experience with their companions. The collection features Efteling?s most popular attractions, from the white-knuckle roller coasters such as the double-looped Python to the more relaxed rides such as Carnaval Festival. It also includes the Aquanura illuminated water show against a night sky, which is when it is at its most impressive. Friends and family can ?chat? to each other during their virtual visit via the keyboard function.
Users select the rides they want to experience and they will then be played one after another in a personalised chat room, made up of friends and family. Each on-ride video differs in length, as some rides are longer than others, which means the total length of the virtual experience will be dependent on the on-ride videos chosen by the users.
Efteling re-opened its gates on May 20 after a temporary closure during the spring. The opening marked the introduction of Efteling?s new safety measures, including disinfection and hygiene points, clear information signs and social distance markers to ensure visitors are always safe and comfortable.
To start the virtual journey, guests must visit https://onride.efteling.com/#home and register.
