Oblivion100 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Haha ok I misunderstood. But it also isn`t crowded with peoply most of the time . I think the rides "mixup" is just about fine. That remains of the old Phantasialand. The new Phantasialand builds one big themed ride on a very compact space without interference of other rides.
KarlaKoaster Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Yes I totally agree, I love it It is such a great park to explore with little paths and spaces hidden away.
Coaster Hero Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I wonder why the track is still covered. Also, what's with the different crossties? It seems like Intamin skipped a straight one with every piece
KingRCT3 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 It's a new kind of track, pretty much like what Gerstlauer did between the Eurofighter and Infinity. Now, the cross-ties are round instead of square, and yeah, there are less of them in the low-g sections.
gerstlaueringvar Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I like this new track style a bit more than the original ones, they look a bit more "refreshing".
Sven Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I wonder why the track is still covered. Also, what's with the different crossties? It seems like Intamin skipped a straight one with every piece The track is still covered because none of the theming is completed. The covering should prevent to get shotcrete or paint on the track. The track will be uncovered when all the rough theming in that section is finished. The mountain range is just a part of the whole theming.
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Some more info has been confirmed (by the park) on a meeting of a Dutch fansite: - Manufacturer: Intamin - This ride is a combination of different elements from Maverick, Goliath (Walibi Holland) and Millennium Force - The green wall with ivy is temporally. Source: Themepark.nl I'm even more stoked right now!
gerstlaueringvar Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Maverick, Goliath, Millennium Force Phantasialand knows exactly how to make choices.
RCT3Bross Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 This ride sounds better and better. I just wish they worked faster, I know they are working on it and as fast as they could but I want more track work I want to know how this thing lay-out is, this will look amazing when done.
PVA62 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Any update on construction? This ride looks fantastic.
Coaster Hero Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Mainly just rock-work and theming installations, no new footers right now. Also, a large concrete retaining wall has been laid.
StealthFan Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 What I love about this project is that it seems the park are not rushing it. They are taking their time to make sure they get it right then opening it when its finished to the high standard they expect. It is nice and refreshing to see a park do that.
BDG Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Any update on construction? This ride looks fantastic. Phantafriends has weekly updates with high quality photos, but not much is happening right now. Mostly concrete work for the station and a tunnel, and more and more rockwork. A selection of recent photos... Some close-ups... source: Phantafriends
viking86 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Looks really great now that some of the theming is starting to come together. Really intrigued by this project as I have no idea what the layout is going to be like. I really need to get down to Germany next year...
StealthFan Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Really intrigued by this project as I have no idea what the layout is going to be like. That is something we really don't get to say a lot these days. Most new coasters have their layouts released or leaked pretty early on so the fact this one hasn't been yet is great!

viking86 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 ^^Excactly! I'm struggling to think of any major rollercoasters built over the recent years where the layout hasn't been released/leaked at an early stage. Maybe some of the stuff in China, but that could also be because I haven't been following it closely... It sure makes it very fun to follow the construction.
Nrthwnd Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Being "in the dark" is fun! I like the refreshing retro idea of "not knowing everything" yet. And it's great, that a park can actually still get away with not revealing everything at once.
TyRush Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I can't imagine how the riding experience will be with all the awesome scenery. On top of a more than likely awesome Intamin.
DJeXeL Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Two opportunistic burglars have had the time of their lives at Phantasialand theme park near Cologne, and without going on any of the rides. The pair snuck into the park during a party and reportedly stole almost €1 million in cash. Saturday was party time at Phantasialand theme park near Cologne, as thousands of people flocked to the annual gay pride celebration Fantasypride. But organizers will have suffered the hangover from hell on Sunday morning after finding the entire receipts of the weekend missing, according to reports in Bild. The festival was jammed full of live music, DJs and even a wet t-shirt contest, but the main drama came from an unexpected source. While the festivities were still in full swing at 11pm on Saturday night, a devious burglar duo managed to break into the ticket office via neighbouring buildings. They then smashed a hole in the wall in order to get past the alarmed door. It didn’t take them long to make the big heist, as they knew exactly where the key to the safe was hidden. The entire profits for the festival were inside the safe, and so the burglars got their hands on around €1 million. By the time the guards discovered the break-in the next morning, the culprits were long gone. The police did not want to reveal whether the thieves were caught on CCTV footage. At this early stage of the investigation only one thing seems clear – that the burglar duo must have received help from somebody on the inside, because they knew their way around so well Source
TyRush Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Hopefully these bastards are found soon. Of all crimes burglary makes me the most angry...Taking what other people earn through some kind of hard work.
Nrthwnd Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 And this will probably screw their having a Pride Party at Phantasialand, in the future. and I hope that's not the case. But still, this doesn't help for future planning. If any.
KarlaKoaster Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I don't see why it would stop them doing Pride parties in the future, but this is really bad news and it's incredible that they got away with quite so much money.
