It was already mentioned in a previous paragraph that it's the most popular ride, so superfluous.

!!Tropes present in ''Droomvlucht'' include:
*AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The second scene features the so-called “forest ghosts”, a race of creatures who stand out because of their green skin.
*AllThereInTheManual: As there is no spoken dialogue during the ride, all information about the names of the scenes, fantasy races and characters comes from documentaries, merchandise product and printed matters.
*BrightCastle: Present in the first and fourth scene of the ride.
*[[ElvesVersusDwarves Elves versus Trolls]]: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] during the ride, as the elves and trolls can be seen playing with each other in the last scene. However, the trope was completely played straight in the [[TheMusical the musical adaptation]] of the ride.
*EnchantedForest: The main theme of the second scene of the ride, in which the riders fly past a forest inhabited by elves, forest ghosts, fauns, unicorns and talking trees.
*DreamLand: The central theme of the ride is that the riders are taken to one.
*DreamsOfFlying: It is not for nothing that the Dutch name of the ride translates to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin “Dream Flight”]].
*FaerieCourt: The elves are ostensibly ruled by a king who is commonly known as [[Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream Oberon]].
*FaunsAndSatyrs: The second and last scene features a race of creatures which are called “fauns”, although they lack the horns and goat legs that fauns are commonly associated with and seem more like a nondescript kind of troll.

*LandOfFaerie: Depending on interpretation, the whole ride or at least some scenes of it take place in this kind of world.

*OneGenderRace: The elves are almost exclusively female (apart from the elf king Oberon), while the trolls, fauns and “forest ghosts” all seem to be male.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Although they are called [[OurElvesAreDifferent “elves”]], the small [[OneGenderRace only-female]] winged humanoids prominently featured in the second, third and last scene are actually fairies.
*OurTrollsAreDifferent: The climax of the scene takes place in the forest of the so-called “blubber trolls”, a swamp-dwelling race of small humanoids with long hair, big noses and a wrinkly skin.
*PointyEars: All of the fantasy races in the ride have them.
*SilenceIsGolden: Apart from the [[BackgroundMusic music in the background]], the ride is completely devoid of spoken words or sound effects.
