The story of Max & Moritz
The visitor finds Max & Moritz on ground once occupied by Efteling’s Bob ride. The old bobsleigh made its last run on 1 September 2019, and work on the new double family coaster began the very next day, a brisk rebuilding for a park with a long memory. efteling.com
By December 2019 the site had taken its new shape, with 700 cubic metres of poured concrete and the columns marking the two separate courses. Efteling planned a rolling Alpine landscape around the rails, with 5,000 cubic metres of land, 125 Serbian spruces, wild planting, and mountain roses for the warmer season. efteling.com
When the last track sections were set in place, the achievement was modest in height but careful in arrangement: two different 300-metre courses, interlaced for meetings and crossings. The former station building was partly retained, heated without gas, and refitted with FSC Accoya wood, while braking energy was arranged to return to the electrical system. efteling.com
On 20 June 2020 the public was invited aboard. For the summer traveller to Kaatsheuvel, it was not a grand descent from a summit, but a nimble powered chase in two directions, built for families and young first-time passengers in Efteling’s wooded corner of the Netherlands. efteling.com
