A THEME park in Europe, which is often dubbed the "Dutch Disneyland" by visitors has launched a new dark ride. Located in Kaatsheuvel in The Netherlands , Efteling features over 30 rides and attractions, including Danse Macabre, its latest ride. The haunted ride officially opened to the public today to coincide with Halloween .
Part of a €35million (£29.2million) investment by Efteling, the new ride is located in Huyverwoud Forest - a new themed area in the park. On board the eerie ride , park-goers will be seated on a large turntable, which is topped with six smaller turntables that can accommodate 108 visitors each time.
The large turntable will rise, fall, twist, turn and tilt like a spinning coin, before falling flat to mark the end of the ride, with its ride system thought to be a world-first.

The ride, which has been two years in the making, will be able to accommodate 1,253 guests per hour.
Because of its spooky theme, only park-goers aged eight and over are advised to ride, with a minimum height of 1.2m also needed. Danse Macabre is located inside Huyverwoud Forest, a new themed area .
