Hi!
I have a free Saturday at the end of an upcoming trip to the Netherlands. I originally was planning to just spend the day at the beach (Scheveningen), but I recently discovered Efteling Park which sounds intriguing. Has anyone ever been to this park. It looks like they gave a pretty good assortment of thrill rides, but would it be an entertaining day out for a solo adult?
If anyone happens to have any feedback, please LMK!

I don’t have any Efteling info. Were you aware of this:
Anecdotal evidence exists of the name Scheveningen being used as a shibboleth during World War II to identify German spies: they would pronounce the initial “Sch” as one consonant (the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative, pronounced approximately like “Sh”), rather than the native Dutch sequence of the voiceless alveolar sibilant followed by the voiceless uvular fricative, “Skh”, as in “Genghis Khan”.[4]
All I really understand of all that is that Germans had difficulty pronouncing some words and the Dutch used it to good effect.
