Efteling invites fans to ride with ravens on magical adventure
Get ready for a new way to fly at Efteling this winter.
The Dutch theme park today announced the name and design of its new ride for its refreshed Raveleijn area. Ravenring appears to be a new prototype aerial carousel from Vekoma.
The ride will accommodate 36 riders at a time across 18 raven-themed vehicles. Riders will use a lever to control the angle of their vehicle's tilt as they fly to protect the magical city of Raveleijn.

Keeping with Efteling's Raveleijn storyline, riders will learn at the end of their ride which of the city's five magical elements they represent: water (blue), fire (red), wood (green), earth (brown) or metal (purple).
Efteling is also revamping its Raveleijn stunt show with a new storyline and special effects. Efteling has revealed that it is working with award-winning French theme park operator Puy du Fou on this reimagining. The new show also will open this winter, at a date to be announced.

Raveleijn was an amazing show, and in my book matches and in some ways exceeds what you might find at a Medieval Times or popular Renaissance Festival. Getting an upgrade from Puy du Fou, regarded as one of the best producers of live park entertainment, will undoubtedly result in one of the top theme park shows on the planet.
This new ride looks pretty cool, and will add another attraction to a side of the park that is a bit lacking in thrills.
