For the first time in the 58 year history of the theme park the gates stay open the whole year round. A tangible symbol for the year round opening is the eternally writing quill. In March Efteling Radio is the only rural children’s radio station of the Netherlands. Because 90% of the Dutch households listen to it either analogue or digitally the Fairy Tale tree comes to life in the Fairy Tale Forest. The friendly wooden giant speaks to visitors personally and tells short stories. In the summer the new wooden racer rollercoaster George and the Dragon opens. In this ride visitors can compete against each other for the best time. In November Kruimeltje the musical premieres in Theatre de Efteling
