Paradox Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yea that SLC actually looks smooth with the improvements Vekoma has made to the original design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFEV Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 They keep inventing new stuff and they have loads of great coasters: -custom dueling coaster Haven't gotten a good laugh like this from a post in a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 who said space is an issue? Just see what Grona Lund has done in the past with Twister and other rides and see what Phantasialand is doing. They are adding a giant custom massively themed ride and now they announced there will be a second coaster in that area?? damn.. This is already a giant bowl of coaster track.. Guess there's always a way (as long as you really want to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlaKoaster Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 When was the last time they actually built a bad and rough ride? http://rcdb.com/12263.htm Your move. To be fair, that is a 21 year old design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 And now they have vests rather than head banger OTSR they are much better rides. I actually really enjoyed Arkham Asylum. They've certainly improved recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Christmas and New Years is pretty much vacation time in Germany aka no construction.

StealthFan Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Phantasialand just officially anounced "RAIK" on their Facebook Page.It will be the "largest" Family-Boomerang in the world (talk about a record ). Source (warning: Facebook) I have no issued with this what so ever! The Junior Boomerangs are a lot of fun and it will complement the spaghetti coaster fantastically with its offering for the younger riders.

CSLKennyNI Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 On the Phantasialand forum Phantafriends there has been some talk about strong rumours that the Race to Atlantis simulator (housed in the epcot style dome) will be demolished after the Winter season. A number of people claim to have been told by staff to ride it this winter as it is their last chance. Considering there are only 2 weeks left in the season I assume a official announcement must be coming soon? Also there has been construction on going for the past couple of months on the site of the former Smokey Diggers Camp - rumours suggest the administration and event buildings which are currently behind Race to Atlantis are going to be relocated there. This would open up the whole area between Old Berlin and Wuze Town, an area around the same size of Klugheim, for their next major project after Taron? There seems to be a 2 year cycle at the moment with starting major projects Maus - 2010, Chiapas - 2012, Taron - 2014, ???? - 2016? Only rumours but it will be interesting to see if this happens - I really hope it does as I think the Atlantis ride is awful and will be glad to see its demise but also the park have no space to expand so an area of this size would be greatly beneficial. Means nothing good like Temple of the Night Hawk and Hollywood Tour will have to be demolished to make way for new things. I wonder will it be a new theme area or an extension of Berlin or Fantasy and what sort of ride it could be, hopefully a good dark ride? If this does come about all I know is it will be awesome like all of Phantasialand's work!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 This project has to be costing them quite the buck. It will be interesting to see what else they come up with after this zoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 ^^ Would be awesome if it's true, This park is literally building all there big rides in a row. I can imagen how the mangers office is over there, "Okay our next big ride will be Taron and will come here and will cost blah blah blah." "but sir we're not done with Chiapas yet." 2 years latter. "Okay time for the next big thing." "Like we're done with Taron." Progress is good, so I welcome this with open arms. Too bad Race for Atlantis will have to clear then, not my favorite ride at all, but if they change the theme, a new movie, and normal previews then this ride would have had potential again. It's unique in these area's. But this is one of the oldest rides in the park, so it would not surprise me when it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Atlantis is pretty terrible. I say kill it dead. Just don't touch Hollywood Boat Ride. That thing is a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSLKennyNI Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 ^ The Hollywood Boat Tour is safe for a while I think. The building it is in also hosts the park's Dinner Show Fantissima. The show had quite a decent refurbishment before the 2015 season so they won't be demolishing it any time soon. Only thing that could happen is a retheme or refurbishment but with all these big projects do they have any money left?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
