Phantasialand Discussion Thread

...Yes, and for now they are only selling bundles of hotel room plus a 2-day-ticket, breakfast, three-course dinner and a F.L.Y. fast pass.

 

Sounds like a good deal to me. Cost? I know my Euros.

Phantasialand's theming is often impressive (the area around Taron, their launched Intamin, looks great). Vekoma has been on quite a roll lately, and I hope their latest take on their "Flying Dutchman" coasters works out.

Yours for the bargain basement price of €400 during the week, €449 at the weekend!

 

I've seen on a German fan forum that these packages are only temporary and you'll be able to just book a room and tickets in the near future

F.L.Y. Review:

Manged to get two rides today, I have to say I did not expect the ride to compete with my most favorite coasters but it does. I mean the ride itself is on the tamer side, that was what I expected, but the theming there it has me. I didn't look up the queue before riding it and only saw some glimpses and I'm happy I didn't, For me the experience starts at the begging of the queue and if you get me this close to the ride in a well themed queue you instantly get bonus points, If I have to wait give me a distraction please. Then I entered the station and there I was sold naming the station Rookburgh Zentral Kai, Let's keep it that that means a lot to me and keep it at that. But seriously great experience.

I didn't expect that the first launch would be my favorite, usually the second just goes all out but F.L.Y. you pick up speed by the second launch but by the time you're up the hill it's all for nothing, the first launch however you get to enjoy the fruits off.

Music was great, I'm sure it's IMA Score again that's also a instant win for me, I love their work really do.

As for the main feature the turning seats, I did not expect it to feel so natural, like you're making some weird double movements but it's so smooth, I don't know if placing it in corners helps, but great odd experience.

All I can say now another great ride to the Phantasialand line up, really worth the years wait if you ask me.

I can't wait to see this in person! The theming is again, top notch. Not to mention a fun, well rounded attraction for an already epic park. It's insane to think this park contains this along with Black Mamba and Taron... Plus others.

 

Hoping we can make it back in 2021 for another Euro trip.

I'm trying to decide if on our next trip to the park I would put our group in the new hotel, or stick with Ling Bao which we love so much! It's a hard call.

Hopefully TRP can get a pov up in the next year or so. I really wanna see its layout!

^If we're allowed into Europe next summer then we're there!

Dragon Bar was fantastic. There's a ton of (hazy) memories I have from that place. I was so sad in 2016 when it was closed for refurbs. Even though I don't drink anymore I'll still happily spend a few evenings in that place with everyone!

Do any of the other hotels have cool bars like Dragon Bar though?

[Nrthwnd 10]

^ Honestly, I think back on the 2010 Europe Tour, we were all in the newer African-themed hotel (sorry, forget the name of it). And they had a bar on the main floor with service outside in a gardened area.  It was a nice spot for drinks and discussion. But the Dragon Bar was noisy, crowded... we loved that, too.
