Excitement and fun
Half Moon in the Efteling.
Half Moon (or "Halve Maen" in Dutch) is a Pirate Ship ride at Efteling theme park in the Netherlands. The Pirate Ship is not actually themed as a “Pirate Ship”, but a copy of the VOC - merchant Halve Maen of the Dutch East India Co. VOC, the first limited company which centuries later merged into Unilever. The theming for the surroundings of the ride consists of a harbour in the Anton Pieck style.
It is the largest Pirate Ship in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
At a speed of 54 km/h it swings you (capacity: 85 visitors) back and forth to a height of 25 metres.
The Efteling is the largest theme or amusement park in the Netherlands, located in the town of Kaatsheuvel, and opened in 1952. It is one of the oldest theme parks in the world.
The Efteling has September 2009 received over 100 million visitors. In 1992 Efteling received the IAAPA Applause Award for Best Amusement Park in the World.
In over fifty years the park has evolved from a nature park with playground and a Fairy Tale Forest, into a full-size theme park along the lines of Disneyland It is twice as large as the original Disneyland park.
De Halve Maen of Schipschommel is een attractie in attractiepark de Efteling.
De Halve Maen is een kopie van een VOC-schip, gesitueerd tegen de achtergrond van een haventje in de stijl van Anton Pieck.
De Schipschommel is twintig meter hoog, heeft een uitzwaai van 25 meter en bereikt een snelheid van 54 km per uur. In totaal kunnen 85 mensen plaatsnemen in de schommel. Hiermee is het de grootste schipschommel ter wereld. In die hoedanigheid heeft het ook een plaats verworven in het Guinness Book of Records.
