alexinla Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 That looks awesome! Yes, it does! I will be in Germany until the end of Sept(Oktoberfest of course is on the agenda), so I will ride this, even if I have to change my flight back home..
RCT3Bross Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I like that rideonblog can provide pictures from never before seen angle's. This looks just stunning. It's good to see that they mostly work out of sight now. It just gives that feeling of finishing up the ride. I can't wait for the park to announce the openings date, I'm getting really exited to go back to here.
gisco Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Looks like they have done an outstanding job on this. Looking forward to seeing it in operation.
cfc Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I like all the interaction with the mine-train coaster, too. They really are doing a first-class job with their new flume.
alexinla Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Summer is almost over in Europe(well, we have another month or two), but one Highlight is still getting ready for it's big reveal.. We are getting closer to opening.... ...as the boats are already on site!
Hilltopper39 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Wow, this thing has completely slid under my radar, I didn't have nay idea they were building this thing but it looks amazing.
alexinla Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Now that is how you theme a log flume! ....and thanks to Phantasialand being so secretive about this ride, we have no clue what will happen inside. Considering the outside theming, this will be a Top 5 attraction in Europe!
RCT3Bross Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm kinda looking forward to hear when they plan to open this ride. I really am looking forward to riding Chiapas so it gets on my nerves that we don't know the opening date yet. I love their secrecy but this time I want them to be more open. Some on-site pictures from one of the construction teams: Universal Rocks.

RCT3Bross Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 News on Chiapas : The area around Chiapas seems to be finished...they started testing today...and the german TÜV is already there ! That's great news. Found this picture from today that shows the drop: Got it here and there's more. Love the placement of that waterfall. Makes it looks like one big one, Great way to theme the big drop. Boat spotted. Yes a Boat was spotted yesterday here are some pictures found here. Not your standard log themed boats, love it. Although it's hard to tell but it looks like we have safety bars, it was to be expected with a ride like Chiapas.
BDG Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Better boat pics today... The front: The back: 6 seats, all with a backrest and a lapbar: And a quick animation of how the lapbars work: source: Phantasialand-Fans.de
alexinla Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I find it funny that when CP builds a standard/boring flume, there are 200 pages on tpr, yet here is probably one of the best themed/innovative log flume being build and hardly any interest exists The entrance of the ride with water running
deathbydinn Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 ^ Just has to do with the fact that more people on the site are going to make it to Cedar Point each year than to Phantasialand. I love a good flume ride, and this one looks amazing. I love the way that the drop is hidden with the waterfalls, without the caption I probably wouldn't have found it! I do wish we would see more parks build flumes like this, it just looks so great and really adds to the experience of the ride.
Thri!!er Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Same here...for german conditions, this is a pretty cool log-flume, not only the theming... Very good work, yes. Thri"nevertheless still a big Bavaria Mountain Railroad-Fan (for the Phantasialand)"!!er
TheStig Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Does it have a reversing section? Pretty sure that by law every flume in Germany requires one...
GeorgeT Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Does it have a reversing section? Pretty sure that by law every flume in Germany requires one... Yes, it will include one backwards drop !
TheStig Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Does it have a reversing section? Pretty sure that by law every flume in Germany requires one... Yes, it will include one backwards drop ! THANK GOD!
RCT3Bross Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I found 4 video's of the First drop to Turntable, I thought I share the enjoyment: 1. A fact. 2. Not the best footage. 3. Better. Love the speed. 4. Save the best for last. A nice speedy drop into the turntable. Quite some speed from drop to turn. For source and pictures of this just click here.
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Man, this thing is looking amazing! Getting back to this park is a must. I thought the old flume was great, but this thing looks like it's gonna blow the old one right out of the water! (Pun intended?)
RCT3Bross Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I just found this video of the big drop of the ride. Source. Looks very good. It shouldn't take long before this ride could open. They're already laying the final hands to the ride and testing is well underway.
cfc Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 ^It looks very impressive--much better than your typical "flume on stilts."
Oblivion100 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I freaking love it. I think I`ll visit it next week if it`s open by then. 3 Major AAA+ themed rides next to each other. Chiapas > Talocan > Black Mamba. It`s to good to be true what did realized the last years.
DJeXeL Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 From the looks of that 1st video, getting off this thing dry will not be an option.
