2.6 PARK HISTORY - Efteling
<p>It's time to explore Efteling. This episode has a lot of love built in because this park is truly inspiring and I still wish I was there right now. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode and that you enjoyed the small ‘Efteling Fairy Tale’ episode I released last week. I have at least one more of those short fairy tale episodes up my sleeve soon (haha!) but enjoy this full Park History episode. </p><p><strong>Please forgive me in advance for any and all bad pronunciations of Dutch words!!!</strong></p><p>Thanks for listening to 2 (!!) seasons of my podcast. It has been a real treat to bring you these episodes so far. I have more on the way, but Season 3 will be slightly delayed, as I am planning to take a short hiatus as I work on another big project (coming soon!). I also plan to change the way I record these episodes in order to make it easier to release them, so that is also part of the reason for the short hiatus. Thanks for being here for me and enjoy this episode!</p><p>Sources:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efteling"><u>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efteling</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://translate.google.com/?sl=de&tl=en&text=erstling&op=translate"><u>https://translate.google.com/?sl=de&tl=en&text=erstling&op=translate</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.efteling.com/en/about-efteling/history"><u>https://www.efteling.com/en/about-efteling/history</u></a></p></li></ul><p>Please subscribe to the podcast on whatever your favorite platform is in order to keep up to date on the latest episodes.

2.5.1 - BONUS - Efteling Fairy Tales 1 - The Six Servants
<p>As I continue my research on Efteling for my upcoming episode, I wanted to share some of the Efteling-specific fairy tales that decorate the park's Sprookjesbos (Fairytale Forest). This story is titled 'The Six Servants' and is where 'Langnek (Long Neck)' is featured, which serves as one of the iconic pieces of the Sprookjesbos and Efteling marketing. Enjoy me reading it dramatically (i hope) and stay tuned for maybe a few others in the coming weeks!</p><p><br></p><p>Source: Efteling Book of Fairy Tales (ISBN 978 90 216 6983 0) with text by Gerrie van Dongen and Ad Grooten and illustrations by Anton Pieck</p>

2.5 PARK HISTORY - Six Flags Over Texas
<p>Hello everyone and welcome to this week’ episode 2.5: Six Flags Over Texas. This one is a bit lengthy as this park has been around since 1961 and has over 65 years of history! With lots of ride changes, ride name changes and some shuffling, this park has a lot to cover. Please excuse poor pronunciation of some of the Spanish words in this one, as some of these were tongue twisters for me! Stay tuned for my next episode and the finale to Season 2!</p><p>Sources:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://guidetosfot.com/parkinfo/history/"><u>https://guidetosfot.com/parkinfo/history/</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.sfotsource.com/history-timeline/#1960s"><u>https://www.sfotsource.com/history-timeline/#1960s</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Star_Carousel"><u>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Star_Carousel</u></a></p></li></ul><p>Please subscribe to the podcast on whatever your favorite platform is in order to keep up to date on the latest episodes.
