ECZenith Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Oooo, those are cool. I really like Firefall at PKD. With the right theming these rides are absolutely amazing. http://database.thrillnetwork.com/dbgallery/photo_view.php/2610/kings_dominion/tomb_raider_firefall2092.htm Can't wait to see the finished product considering Phantasialand's excellent reputation.
jappi Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I think this one is gonna be inside and have special effects (thats what I have heard) but maybe im wrong EDIT: but theres like an 99,9% that im wrong
Menghini Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Topple Tower sounded intereting... But a suspended top spin? Hmm, I hope themeing, etc. will be good.
anthonyny Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 The mystery is raised. It's a Suspended Top Spin http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=29791&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=1620&-1 Article of press who say it's a Suspended Top Spin. Concept art Webcam of Talocan
Janster Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Just a topspin. I don't like top spins. Bummer.
verticalzero Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 That is a real shame, 2 many Top Spins around and not enough "Topple Towers". I wonder what a 200ft Topple Tower would be like..
jappi Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I realy happy it will be an top spin because I Think a topple tower wouldent give much of an expierince like a topspin and I onlt ridden on topspin so this is much better^^
Canobie Fan Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I have been on one of the floorless topspins about 7 rides in all. the program it ran was really really lame. So just hope Phantasialand runs it good... It also kind hurts if your a guy....
Cyrotech Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Check over to the german community Onride.de http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=29791&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=2970&10936 199 pages about Talocan, including pictures. Phantasialand is doing a great job theming the topspin, so it is going to be something special, like TombRaiderTS
Axman Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I thought Rip Tide at Knott's was fantastic, so this is good news! Top Spins, especially suspended ones, are better than topple towers, in my opinion. Have ridden both, one certanly out ranks the other.
socalMAN123 Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Suspended top spins are defenitly an experience. Just like James said, they do hurt if you're a guy. Sadly, RipTide at Knott's is not very intense at all. Let's just hope that Phantasialand will come through and run an insane program! ---Brent
Axman Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 They must have changed the program... I rode Rip Tide right after Silver Bullet opened, and RT was easlily one of the most wicked rides ever! I cuoldn't belive that it spun that fast! It was a true spectical, and is WAY better than Hammerhead Shark!
ECZenith Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Awww... you had to remind me... I miss Hammerhead, and now the only place you can ride a Zamperla Rotoshake is at MoA. I wish they'd sell a coupl e more o fthem.
Axman Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I hate to break it to you, but I think that "The Mighty Axe" is closing for the Avatar coaster. It's the only place in the park that has room. I'm sorry. I guess the one at SFA is gone too?
Menghini Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Talocan will be "tested" 16 may and will officially be opened 26 may. It looks great!
Wishmaster Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 I visited the park today and I made a video of one of the testrides. Video All the video is missing is this:
DATman Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 That music was the opening track from Narnia. Do they have the rights for that?
Machtin Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 That music was the opening track from Narnia. Do they have the rights for that? This is not China, it's Germany. Be assured that they acquired the rights to do this since German copyright is pretty strict. Btw, this is hands down the best themed top spin ever!
kennywood!007 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Meh, it looks ok. The operation looked like a mild one. Only flipped 3 times each time. But it did that twice so 6 in the whole ride. Tomb Raider: Fire Fall looks better IMO, and the operation seems to be better on it.
Coastermaster Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 A nice Flash animation you can find here: http://www.coasterindex.com/specials/talocan.zip
Machtin Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 I just want to inform you that Talocan finally opened today. There are already quite a lot of pics at onride.de! Looks awesome to me. What do you think?
Disney Dood Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 The theming is on par with a Disney Indiana Jones ride!
