I'm still in favor of the green one.

I would not dare say otherwise or the real life version of this green dragon would eat me alive next time I visit the "Efteling"

Oh my, nostalgia!!! Thanks for that picture, Rhalius :love:

I vote for the green one, definitely. But it's very interesting to see the two together for comparison. Thanks Tahra  :) I do agree the black one looks better from behind/above.

There's not really a story behind the dragon as far as I know, he guards the treasure chest below him which is normally not tied up but open and filled with gold. there is a bracelet or crown in there that you can try to push if you dare, it will make more noise if you do I think.

Here's a short video of the attraction.

The entire park is filled with such electronic creatures and many fairytales. Its a very beautifull theme park and the dragon is one of its most iconic attractions.
It's strongly thematic and filled with great innocent fun for children and the whole family.
Opening in 1952, it's one of the first theme parks and always kept expanding.

I'd go as far as to recommend anyone visiting the Netherlands to pay the park a visit. It's truly a magical place.

That black sinister one is our favorite in this household of boys
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Wow.. so cute - and he does look like the new one....

Thanks for the explanation - sounds like a great time!

Thank you so much for the review and the comparison.  I love both dragons, but the babies always make us happy.  I have a 3 yr old who expects ALL playmobil animals and other fauna to have a mommy and a baby.  So glad they are laying eggs!

Well... let's say your 3 year old is not alone. But I expect a daddy too!

Thanks for the photos Tahra. Definitely some size difference.
The nice thing with the dragons is that you can just get a second for the daddy Dragon.

Considering the gazillion different ones, I had to stop doing that :(
