New stickers in Efteling that appeared in various queues on 6 December should ensure that people behave better. The amusement park has recently been in the news several times because visitors turned out not to adhere to the corona rules. Now stickers have appeared in several queues asking to be "kind and tolerant".

 

In the waiting area os Symbolica you can almost hear the the compelling voice of O.J. Puntuel who urges guests to abide by the rules. Obey the rules, denk aan de regels!

 

Symbolica

Symbolica is a trackless dark ride in the Efteling theme park in the Netherlands, which opened the 1st of July 2017.

Originally, an attraction called Hartenhof would be constructed on the site of Symbolica. The project was postponed multiple times, until it was renamed Symbolica. Consturction started January 11th 2016.

The story is of Symbolica is all about visiting king Pardulfus, who lives in Hartenhof (court of hearts). While the visitors await their audience with the king, a character called Pardoes appears. Pardoes then guides the visitors through hidden parts of the castle.

Before the visitors can enter their Fantasievaarders, there is a pre-show with two animatronics. A staircase magically opens and the visitors are directed to the boarding station. Here, they can choose one of three different routes: Heldentour (Hero tour), Muziektour (Music tour) and Schattentour (Treasure tour). The castle consists of eleven scenes, where each of the three routes attends nine scenes.
