Please tell me you not only rode Taron in the morning but also in late afternoon / evening ?
It seems that it need some time to get warm and become faster. Later on the day it kicks much more ass than in the morning
I'm quite surprised that the Winja's are your personal favorite ride at the park!
For me Taron is my overall number one (wich means it beats Expedition Geforce, Karnan, Silverstar, Blue fire,...)
Personal top in Phantasialand is : Taron, Black mamba, Colorado adventure, Winja's, Temple of the nighthawk (long and relaxing ride ) and Raik in that order.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
