Vogel Rok • Efteling

Theming Fun Masterpiece

This is a coaster from my childhood memories!

First Drop Capacity Location Theming

This sure was a pretty forceful family coaster, with some surprisingly tight turns and shocking drops, but a downfall is that there isn't a lot to see, since it's so dark.

I love this ride, it doesn't do anything crazy so it's not very intense but still a really fun experience.

Vogel Rok is such a perfect dark coaster. It makes it feel pitch dark, while you can still see the train go into a huge bird! Then at the end you go through a beautiful tunnel with pretty lights. The darkness makes the ride also feel way more intense

OH MY LORD THE G'S, this coaster is just purely a gforce machine, no time for air time just g's. the theming and music is great and will always stay an importand part of my childhood. the layout isn't the best the efteling has to offer since baron and geoge and the dragon exist with excellent layouts. but its still just pure fun, im always having the biggest smile in this coaster i love it so much. only issue is that the seats are kind of small and that can lead to cramps durring the ride

Theming Fun

Vogel Rok’s a fun indoor ride that doesn’t do anything special, but still stands on its own as a solid attraction.

Nice surprise! Pace Fun Too short

This was one of the biggest surprises when visting Efteling: Vogel Rok may not have that oustanding theming like the other rides of this park, but as a coaster, it is one of the most fun experiences here. It is more intense than you may expect, runs mostly very smooth, has a great capacity when running three trains and the icing on the top is the beautiful onboard soundtrack. There are some theming elements in the dark which could be better, but they are fine for what it is. The only downside of this ride is its relatively short length, which seems to be a common problem with the rollercoasters at this park. But nevertheless I highly recommend this underrated ride!

This is the most underrated Efteling coaster in my opinion. The soundtrack and the fun layout in the dark really make this ride. The ride is extremely re-rideable as well.

Theming Capacity Fun

I love this coaster! It's definitely not the best for thrillseekers, but this ride is simply a lot of fun. Lines always keep moving since Vogel Rok is a real people eater, capacity is amazing. Since you can't see where you're going, this ride feels more intense than it actually is, especially the first drop feels amazing. What makes this ride truly stand out though is the incredible onboard soundtrack. 'Vlucht door het duister' is probably my favorite Efteling soundtrack together with De Vliegende Hollanders station soundtrack, it really fits the ride perfectly. All in all, Vogel Rok is a coaster that I love riding over and over again, I can never get enough of it.

Theming Capacity Fun Rattle

This was my first proper coaster and still to this day, I can’t skip it when I go to the Efteling. It goes only 64 (not 70) km/h, but it feels a lot faster, due to it being in the dark and it having wind machines. I also really like the onboard music. That together with the indoor aspect makes it a very reridable to me. The lines also move really quick because a train departs about every 30s. The only few things are that it has a rattle to it, which can be quite uncomfortable if you’re in the first train.

Theming

Vogelrok is a good family ride, I guess. The lines are short, most of the time. There's some interesting theming going on, not to much but enough to get the right feel. The ride itself is nothing special if you have already experienced dark coasters. I personally do not understand the appeal of coasters in the dark. I have the feeling that you are missing a lot. The combination of the speed of a coaster and the theming-elements in the dark place doesn't work for me.

Disappointing!

Best thing of the ride: the entrance. That massive animatronic seen from rather far away really set the expectations too high for me. I thought it would be a fun family coaster with a superb theming, but once you leave the "vogel" behind, there is little to no theming. It's just a rough coaster in the dark, where you can't see where you are going, and just every now and then appears some bird decoration. It should have had more, in my opinion. Not very rerideable.

Fun Intensity

Honestly, Vogelrok is a really good family ride. It's getting old, but you can't feel a single sign of that while in the trains. Don't forget to mention the amazing music this ride has. It's very well-themed too. I've ridden this ride about 400+ times in my life and it's by-far my most ridden rollercoaster. In the past, I've ridden this ride more than 20 times per day and I never got tired of it. Now, I'm a little bit older and my Vogelrok hype has declined a lot, there isn't a day in the Efteling without me riding this ride. It's a great ride for families, not the most intense for the enthousiasts. You can defenitely skip it, but when the lines are short, and often they are less than 10 minutes or even a walk on, Vogelrok is a ride worth "waiting" for. Don't forget the fact that from Ruigrijk, it's a 8 minute walk to Reizenrijk.

Capacity Location

Short queues and well themed. Coaster is a decent indoor dark ride, similar to (but not quite as good as) space mountain.

A pretty decent blacked out rollercoaster. But it’s a pretty tame layout where you basically go pretty fast through some bends and some hills.

Some effects in the dark was good. But I don't want to spoil it.

I was really surprised by the fun layout and the onboard soundtrack

This is a fun roller coaster. I had no idea how the layout would be, so i was really surprised. I've rode it a few times and still really enjoyed it.

I love Indoor coasters with theming like this. This ride is complete with onboard audio and some birds eveywhere. Great ride for the whole family and for an not Dutch person it's very hidden and you can easily miss it.

A correct but boring family ride. Good theming and duration

It's quite intense for its size and it has a nice and smooth layout.

Really fun dark coaster! When there are no lines you really want to go again and again and again. Simple but so much fun!

An amazing family coaster. I really love the fact that it's completely dark and that you have no idea where you're going.

Nice darkride coaster + theming

Theming Capacity Fun

Rode it 1382 times this year and its my favorite coaster! Its a ride through the dark with special effects. Also the music is nice and the coaster has really good capacity. Its a really relaxing coaster and i can ride it up to 44 time while staying in the same car and maybe even more.
