Yesterday, popular family theme park Efteling in Holland celebrated its 70th anniversary.

The first 70 families that came through the park's gates were surprised with balloons, a festive welcome by magic jester Pardoes, free cake and exclusive VIP tickets.

Until October 3, Efteling will be celebrating its anniversary every day with a pop-up fairytale called Efteling Wonderland.

For the first time, Movieland invited everyone to celebrate diversity with an LGBTQ+ event at 'The Hollywood Park' in Italy.

Movieland was completely transformed with rainbow decorations, a colourful parade, live performances, DJ sets, rides and attractions open until late, and a special finale show with fireworks to light up the sky.

We went along to the event on May 21, and had a great time at the first ever pride at a theme park in Italy.

Efteling has announced that a new 17,000 m² themed area including brand new attraction Danse Macabre will be opening in 2024.

In the new attraction, named after the famous piece of music by Saint-Saëns, visitors will be transported into the story with the unforgettable music from the Spookslot haunted house as the main theme.

The surroundings in the new area will provide a mysterious setting in which the 20-metre high attraction building immediately catches the eye.

The first Smash & Reload interactive media-based dark ride by BoldMove Nation and Triotech will be opening at French theme park Le PAL in 2023.

In this brand new attraction, riders will be tasked with saving a village from an attack by creatures called Mushies, using the new TooMush IP created by Polymorph.

Smash & Reload will replace the Dynamik 3D Cinema attraction at Le PAL.

Tonnerre 2 Zeus has now been officially inaugurated by the Director General of Parc Astérix Delphine Pons and French actor and humorist Arnaud Ducret.

The original roller coaster, Tonnerre de Zeus, celebrated its 25th anniversary this year and has been renovated, enhanced and renamed.

The Gravity Group has transformed the attraction, with changes to the track, a tunnel added and new trains.
