Hugo van den loonsche duynen was a goatrider, he stole items, and set houses and churches in fire. On one day he did steal items of gold in a chapel. But a woman appeared. She cursed hugo, and he will never find rest and peace, untill a person with the clean mind of a recently born baby could stop this curse. You can see the curse inside his villa. This attraction had in the first years 2 waiting lines, but that is now one waiting line. Earlier you could choose the left waiting line, it was always shorter.



You see 2 shows before the real ride begins. And we can say, it is a nice on. Everything is on the wrong side than normal. We have to warn you, smaller children can get scared in this. It is possible to get sick in this attraction, but don't let that scare you. After the ride you will think surely ''WOW'' For the religious people: the story, when you understand dutch, could be a problem. It is with mystic forbidden things in the religions. But it's all fake, you won't get cursed for real.

Did you know:
Hugo had several masks in his life. The first one, looked very beautiful and old. The masks after that one were very ugly. But in 2011 he got a new mask again, and it is more realistisch than the first one. His looks are now really old.

- Popularity Attraction
The line is not always full, but the ride, and the 2 pre shows are. So the ride is popular. Everyone in the netherlands does know this attraction. But after several times the pre shows are getting boring, so that's a reason why there is not a big waiting line.


- Waiting Times
You have to wait 5 minutes for this attraction. But with the preshows, you will always wait 15 minutes. With the projection-illusion in the evening in the winter it will be 25 minutes. Because you have to do the second pre-show 2 times.

- Theming attraction
The villa, the preshows, and the main show are really incredible. With the cool music it is probably the best ride in the efteling. The waiting line outside is not good tough.


- Riding Time
The riding time is 2.40, inclusive the preshows you will come on 10 minutes

- Disordering of attraction
Sometimes it has problems, and is broken down. It also needs many times (twice in a year) maintenace. That is a lot. But there is a big change you can do it. 8 stars!
