Efteling, the fairytale theme park in the Netherlands, has pulled back the curtain on its newest attraction: Hooghmoed, debuting in 2026. Translating roughly to “pride” or “arrogance,” Hooghmoed will expand upon the backstory of Baron 1898, Efteling’s highly themed dive coaster. Though full ride details are still under wraps, the park shared a short teaser video hinting at a dark, atmospheric experience tied to the Baron’s mysterious world. Fans of immersive storytelling and gothic aesthetics have reason to be excited. The announcement also comes ahead of the August 1st opening of the new Efteling Grand Hotel, the park’s first luxury on-site hotel located inside the park gates.
