Phantasialand Schwarzkopf Coaster

[montezooma]

Hello European Travelers-

 

I came across a these pictures from and old Schwarzkopf catalog of the coaster called Grand Canyon. It was a speed coaster very similar in track construction to the Revolution at Magic Mountain, even used the same trains. It was wrapped in fiberglass rock work that caught fire several years ago causing enough damage that the entire ride, along with a powered coaster, to be torn down. It was located at the end of the western area where the awesome rapids and drop tower are now located. Thought you guys would enjoy seeing it.

Ah, I've always wondered what the area before the fire looked like! I'm glad they built Winjas instead! Thanks for the picture!

This is not the space where Winjas are standing, its the River Quest space.

I've ridden both coasters, Gebirgsbahn was a quite fun ride.

 

The space where Winjas are standing has been a kids area.
