History
Gondoletta opened in 1981 as a gentle water ride at Efteling and has remained a favorite attraction for park visitors since then. It was designed to offer a relaxing experience different from more thrilling rides in the park.
Culture
The ride features musical accompaniment from Allegro Brillante by François-Adrien Boieldieu, performed on harp with orchestral backing throughout the journey.
