Went to the "
efteling", that's an amusement park, with some friends of mine. Had forgotten how much fun it is to feel your stomach in your throat *g*.
Especially loved the
Flying DutchmanThe story behind the ride:
I will sail, even if I have to sail to Judgement Day…! In 1678, Captain Willem van
der Decken sailed out of the harbour against all the rules and sealed his own fate. His fabulous ship was cursed and changed into a mysterious, fiery ghost ship that is doomed to sail the seven seas for ever as ‘The Flying Dutchman’…
You take a trip in a longboat, reach a height of 22.5 metres, then “fly” at more than 70 km. per hour over the track, zoom another 420 metres, and finally land in the water with a tremendous splash. The ride subjects its to up to 2 G’s, how cool is that!
Also saw a hundreds of extremely scary happy puppets, which totally brought out the inner goth in me. Will post a picture of that soon ;)
