Danse Macabre
Danse Macabre (French for 'dance of the dead') is the replacement for Spookslot (opened in 1978, closed in 2022). The theme of the attraction revolves around a ghost story about a conductor who is cursed. The attraction lets visitors spin around in multiple ways and in multiple directions, while a horror atmosphere is created with light and sound effects, moving set pieces and animatronics. The attraction is located together with the adjacent Abdijplein in the Huyverwoud in the Anderrijk theme area.
The musical piece Danse Macabre by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, which was also used in the Spookslot, forms the leitmotif of the attraction. Danse Macabre was officially opened to the public on 31 October 2024.

In the pre-show of the queue, a voice tells that the visitors have reached the Huyverwoud and that they are standing among the remains of the Abbey of Capelle van Kaatsheuvel. On Friday the 13th of the year 1876, a music competition was organized in the abbey. The orchestra of conductor Joseph Charlatan participated in that competition and after the performance of the Danse macabre was swallowed by the Unnameable. Evil still shows itself in the form of a monstrous feline creature around the abbey.
