Droomvlucht

Efteling · Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands · Dark ride

Droomvlucht means “dreamflight”. Ton van de Ven designed it, and it opened at Efteling in 1993. You float in a little open cabin hanging from the ceiling through five worlds, from a castle realm and a fairy garden to a squelchy troll forest.

Its one big move is a slow spiral down from 13 metres into the troll marshes.

It lasts about six minutes, which is a real luxury for a dark ride. There’s way more in here than you’ll catch in one go.

Keep the dreamy mood going for a bit longer. Find somewhere quiet to sit and don't rush back into the real world.
