OldJJman Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Time to finish this up. We stayed at the Ling Bao hotel at Phantasialand for 2 nights. The Dragon bar was awesome! Unfortunately, it was closed the 2nd night we were there. A big thanks goes out to Morgan who translated a menu for us, so we had food delivered to us in the LiRiver bar down in the lobby. Phantasialand was a beautiful park with really good attention to detail in their theming. Black Mamba was ok, as was the "Michael Jackson Thrill Ride", but the ride that made it for me was Winjas. OK, I've typed to much. Time for pictures. Thanks to Elissa, Robb and everyone on the trip. I had a great time. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Instead of doing updates, this is what Robb does when people complain!! Time to start heading home. Well, somebody's still awake after looking at all my pictures. Funniest moment of the trip!! A member of the GP who was a fan of TPR, saw Elissa and asked for her autograph!! It did have some really good foot choppers during the last part of the ride that just meandered it's way back to the station. Just floating thru the grass. Different angle. Nice vertical loop. Lou, Hector and James during ERT But they had NO regards for the Indian burial ground. The theming around Black Mamba was quite exquisite. The Hoffman girl giggled when she saw that the hermaphrodite had an "outie". I loved this dude's costume! Looks like we be deep in Africa A close up for those interested. Rapids ride. Temple of the Nighthawk. Enough said. A lot of us decided to eat in the Mexican restaurant. Even the TOTALLY strange dark ride was TPR approved. The monorail was actually kind of cool. The Hoffman girl finished her snack and was looking for a place to put her stick. But WHY are there so many children here??? and fairly long too! It was actually pretty good. Look! A children's ride! (aka: Colorado Adventure, The Michael Jackson Thrill Ride) and a little bit of fire. With water effects... It's just a big giant Topspin... The backside of their newest ride Talocan. I really liked this carousel! Beautiful Archway A walk down mainstreet (like the originality there?) A look down mainstreet. Unmolested fountains. Next to the park entrance. Gold Epcot ball, but where's the wand? Into the scary Blue Dragon's mouth. From the 1001 Arabian Nights ride (Think Akbar meets Peter Pan type dark ride) you could see the spinny boat ride, some kiddie rides and our hotel. Lou, Hector, Ed and ???, ready to take a spin! Choose Thy Fate! What Phantasialand was all about! The building Winjas was in. See? The hotel Ling Bao, a 4 star hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
