The popular Dutch theme park is extending its land to cater for further activities.

The planned expansion will see a site on the east area of Efteling becoming official property of the park.

It is an expansion twenty years in the making and in the future will see Efteling fully take over the area once a formal plan has been approved. 

“All that is being carried out is necessary and preparatory work to prepare the area for possible occupation,” said an Efteling spokesperson. “What kind of attractions will appear has not yet been determined.”

In the meantime, Efteling will press ahead with its plans to house a new thrill ride Danse Macabre, slated to open next year and open the Efteling Grand Hotel in 2025.
