Tree falls on boat at Efteling, injuring three

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Three people were injured when a tree toppled onto a boat in the Gondoletta ride in the Efteling theme park early on Tuesday afternoon. One of the theme park visitors sustained a head injury, the second a broken leg and the third suffered only minor injuries.

See, maybe there is such a thing as too much charm.

Damn trees.

Are we going to hear the same complaints that we heard when it happened at SFMM with Ninja?

The (formerly) charming trees have gone rogue - they're attacking!

You still have Zoidberg.... You ALL have Zoidberg! (V) (;,,;) (V)

I just want to know - was anyone around to hear it, and did it make a sound?

I think the important takeaway from this is that charm can be deadly.

Was the tree black?

I didn't think that ride could be any more painful! 22 minutes!

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Now they can replace the tree with a solar panel.

No, but its family was.

If the tree were in the wild, it would have lived much longer. In fact, I've heard of an upcoming expose documentary entitled "Blackbush."

I don't know what you thought you were watching, but that weren't no documentary and it weren't about trees, if you catch my drift.

After Cedar point closed Paddlewheel, the vengeful Bucky Beaver moved to Efteling.

Something tells me this tree didn't go back up again after the boat went around the corner...
