A EUROPEAN theme park that mums have compared to Disneyland is getting a new ride that will be the first of its kind at the park.
Efteling theme park in Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands is getting a €50million (£42.6million) new ride in 2029.
The new ride, called Missie Luminar, is themed around the challenge of travelling at the speed of light and will be the theme park’s first suspended launch rollercoaster.
This means all the seats will hang beneath the track.
The rollercoaster will start by launching passengers out of a ‘science lab,’ before they go on a mission with a goal of breaking through the light barrier.
The ride will last two minutes, with parts of the ride focusing on science experiments and discoveries from the 19th century.

Fons Jurgens, CEO of Efteling, said: “Missie Luminar will be a fantastic addition to our collection of thrill rides. This type of roller coaster is new to Efteling.
“The top speed reaches 80 km/h, but it may feel even faster. All of this creates excitement from start to finish.
“It will be a truly unique and distinctive experience, even more so because of its location.
“Missie Luminar completes the Island of the Five Senses themed area.
“Visitors will see the vehicles racing past as soon as they enter Efteling, setting the tone for their day at the park.
“We still have a little while to wait, but we’re looking forward to seeing our visitors’ first reactions.”
Guests have previously compared Efteling to Disneyland, with one saying: “If you are travelling to the Netherlands, we highly encourage visiting Efteling. I prefer it now to Disney because of the variety it offers.”
Another said it was a “European twist” on Disneyland.
