Efteling - World of Wonders

Efteling
I don't know what possessed us but we decided to go the Efteling, an Elven themed amusement park about an hour and a bit outside of Amsterdam. Hands down, it was the strangest place I have ever been too. It was part Dinseyland, part Storybook Gardens, part Santa's Village, part LSD hallucinated fun land. Check out these pics:

Jack Sprat
Jack's first real amusement park ride. The Elf Village roller coaster thingey. I got vertigo even though we were only 10 feet off the ground.

The Sleeping Giant
This was supposed to be the story of Tom Thumb. The big giant made this loud snoring noise and his head bobbed around. Jack loved it and kept asking to go back and see it.

The Shire
Welcome to the shire!

Jack & James
The Grusome Twosome!


Garbage dispensers. You put your rubbish up to this dude's mouth and there is a suction hose that whisks it away. Then he bellows, "Dank u wel"


More suction, Doctor.


COmpletely racist ride. We were so shocked and sickened to see this ride called, Monsieur Cannibal. Disgusting.


I'm not as good a shot as I used to be in those arcades down in Daytona Beach.


Summer fun.
