Efteling / the Netherlands Celebrates Anniversary in 2012

The Dutch theme park Efteling will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2012 presenting its newest attraction called „Aquanura“. According to the park, the 17 million Euro show will be the largest water show in Europe. US-based company WET Design (Water Entertainment Technologies) is in charge of developing the new attraction. Apart from water also fire, music and light effects will be featured in the new show. Another event scheduled for next year will be the opening of the first part of Pardoes’ new “realm of phantasy” including a themed pancake restaurant called “Polle’s kitchen”. The new restaurant will accommodate 140 guests with 60 seats on a roofed terrace. As far as the attraction “Hartenhof” initially planned for 2012 is concerned, the project has been postponed for a 2015 completion at the earliest. (eap)
