Over the Easter weekend, visitors to Efteling – the fairy tale theme park in the south of Holland – were able to once again ride the park’s classic car ride De Oude Tufferbaan, which re-opened following a renovation.

The renewed family attraction attracted a lot of attention. Over the last two months, new vehicles and a new operating system has been installed as part of its maintenance, with the classic model T-Fords making way for new cars and pick-up trucks. The new cars are completely covered, while the drivers stay dry in the cabs of the pick-ups.
