Symbolica - Efteling (Netherlands)
Symbolica | Botanicum 12/12/2019 16h12
The third scene of Symbolica is Botanicum where you pass thru the combination of a horticulture greenhouse and aquarium. The riders are face to face with the so-called Fabelvis, a Fable Fish.
Botanicum
Through a short connecting corridor and a corner with rock work, the Fantasy sailors enter one after the other into a Victorian greenhouse with a vaulted roof and ornate trusses: the Botanicum. Special plants such as Flos Reijnders and Flora Magica grow along the columns and in large pots, which open and close their petals. The light inside dims and the magic shops spread out over the glass panels, after which we see that there is no outside air behind it, but a kind of underwater cave. A great mythical creature that looks a bit like a whale, it swims down from the height and makes whale sounds. The friendly-looking animal with its tail (accidentally) breaks the glass, after which more and more cracks appear and water runs between the trusses and panels. The light makes a short circuit through the water and falls out. Quickly the fantasy float drives out of the Botanicum, a path where Pardoes points the way to a safer place among a number of plants: the Gates Passage that gives access to the Treasures Boudoir, the Music Salon and the Heroes Cabinet.
