Efteling has a rich history concerning special attractions for all ages.
This summer, the newest and largest covered family attraction...
...will be added to that impressive list: Symbolica.
Building is in full swing at the Palace of Fantasy which opens its doors in the year that Efteling is 65 years old.

This is part five of The Making of Symbolica.
His Majesty King Pardulfus Domerano.
Report from your faithful Lackey O.J. Punctuel, who is your faithful servant at all times.
The building work is advancing successfully, and I am delighted to announce to you that you will be able to...
...receive your first guests on 1 July, fully as planned.
Before that time a lot still needs to be done.
The building and decoration of your palace are now in a critical phase.
So I thought it was fitting that I made another personal inspection.
You will be happy to know that the floors reflect the grandeur of the apartments in...
...a truly magnificent manner.
We are now in an exciting phase.
We are working on the floor, it has been painted and will be finished further.
Later we will do test runs with all 34 vehicles.
We hope that everything will be functioning well. We will also clad all walls and we are now installing the woodwork.
Apart from that, we will place all show effects, which are now being made, in the attraction.
We will have a very busy two months to have everything ready on time, and to ensure that the show is great.

Yes, it is a very large and intensive project consisting of 6 phases.
We are now in the 5th phase, the execution phase.
The construction is in an exciting phase because the building blocks of the enchantment are now being laid.
But apart from that we are also still inventing new elements.
Something like this needs to be planned, within the time frame and within the existing financial framework.
It is wonderfully exciting.
However, during my inspection I did find objects in certain places in...
...the palace of which I could not determine the origin.
Therefore, vigilance will need to be maintained.
Here we find ourselves in the King's Hall.
We also call this hall the final scene.
In the near future, three vehicles will dance with each other on the dance floor.
We have chosen to clad the walls with hundreds of yards of fabrics in three different colours.

The main challenge of this scene is to get the right acoustics.
In this attraction, we work with many different scenes following one after the other.
As there are no doors between the various scenes.
We have to ensure that the sound which a specific scene produces actually remains within that scene.
We do this by taking this type of acoustical measures.
Everything in the attraction Symbolica has been designed.
This means that all elements have been made specifically for this purpose.
At this moment, many companies are still engaged in developing decorative elements and...
...pieces of decor for our attraction.
During the current month, this will all be put together.
Take for instance the chandelier. We source it from a company in Germany.
The engineering for the special lighting in this chandelier is something we do ourselves.
Just like the crystals which we produce in-house.
This keeps the lines clear and short. We manage to get 'value for our money'.
Beautiful! The King will really like this.
A characteristic decoration in this space are the resplendent golden mirrors with...
...rich ornamentation which can also be found in other spaces in the attraction.
Such as the two 'Nikkele Nelissen' which will soon provide the music in this space.
And another three splendid chandeliers which will contain lots of crystals and luminous objects.
This will be a real party.
It really will be very exciting.
Symbolica is a totally showy attraction and every element brought in must be shown to work.
That is a serious challenge.
Because this concerns parts which were produced by various people.
Those parts now have to be fitted together. We hope everything will work fine.
All of the floor, with its floor prints, has been painted.
Shadowing is applied to the painted floors, and they are then covered with two layers of coating.
Each layer needs to dry properly and then everything has to actually work.
A very nervous time, because if the trackless course in combination with this floor does not work well at...
...some places, the floor will have to be opened up and things will have to be repaired.
His Majesty King Pardulfus...
I have been able to personally determine that the palace really is a feast to behold and to hear.
Everything possible is being done to ensure our guests have a truly magnificent audience from 1 July.
At this moment, a lot still needs to be done to the palace gardens.
Which will exceed your highest expectations.
I will shortly inform you further about this.
With the highest esteem...
O.J. Punctuel
