Earlier this year, we had an opportunity to visit Efteling theme park in Europe, which was one of the most unique and charming theme parks we think we’ve ever been to. Spoiler alert: we LOVED IT.

We recently learned that the theme park was refreshing one of its lands, Raveleijn, which would transform the area with a new storyline, new decor, and new effects. That land will reopen on December 1st, and ahead of its opening, Efteling has shared a new look at one of that land’s NEW rides.
The new ride, Ravenring, was previously described as a new open-air “rotating flying experience.” Efteling recently posted a video showing some of the behind-the-scenes details of the new ride, which is currently being constructed at the park. The video starts with a working model of the ride, which resembles a sort of swings attraction. The elaborate medallion at the top of the ride will spin along with the ride, too. The ride will feature detailed woodwork and hand-forged steel with tiny details.

Ravelring features winged vehicles inspired by ravens. The ride vehicles are attached to long arms that riders can move with a lever to tilt the ride in or out while it’s spinning. You can also see the carved wing details in the ride on the model.

We also see the actual ride in action as two engineers hop on for a spin. The ride spins at a pretty good speed, and yeah, I’m getting dizzy just watching it! It can accommodate up to 36 people at a time and has a minimum height requirement of one meter. The attraction will also be decorated with banners and the five magical elements associated with Raveleijn. At the end of the ride, visitors will discover which of the elements they are best suited to: water (blue), fire (red), wood (green), earth (brown), or metal (purple).
