One of the most popular souvenirs since the opening of Danse Macabre has to be this little black cat. The story of the missing orchestra is all about the existence of the unnameable, "Het Onnoembare". I couldn't resist either. I had to take it home!
Danse Macabre
Danse Macabre is a future attraction in the Efteling that is named after the symphonic poem Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns. The ghost attraction will use a large turntable (type: Dynamic Motion Stage, manufacturer: Intamin) with a diameter of eighteen meters. On the large turntable there are six smaller turntables with six choir stalls on top. There is room for 108 visitors per ride. During the ride, the large turntable will rise, tilt and spin like a coin. The capacity is 1250 people per hour and the attraction is suitable for children from 8 years old. The entrance will be located near the Piraña, the Abbey Square. Its theme is 'horror' and will take the place of the former Spookslot. The building will consist of a 20-meter-high abbey and will take visitors into creepy and mysterious spaces. The music from the Haunted Castle, Danse macabre, will be transferred to this new attraction. Part of the old Spookslot wall and tower, with perhaps some minor adjustments, will also become part of the new Huiverwoud theme area. The total theme area will be approximately 17,000 m2. .
The total cost is €30 million and the opening is planned for the autumn of 2024 (expected to be October). Danse Macabre is the only attraction in the themed area Huyverwoud.
