RCT3Bross Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 ^ Had nothing to do with it being more complex, the first drops of water where put in August 2013, the year they announced to open it. It just wasn't done for the 2013 season was over (they even worked a little during the winter of 2013 and 2014). That's most likely why we haven't heard any openings date or year for Taron and Raik, although I would be surprised if Taron and Raik would open in 2017 they seems to be nearly done now, being hopeful A April/May opening but realistic I think a June/July opening is in place here, a Start with the season I really doubt.
Paradox Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Wasn't Chiapas having problems with the final drop and the boats flipping over and sinking?
CSLKennyNI Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Wasn't Chiapas having problems with the final drop and the boats flipping over and sinking? No. It was just technical issues and maybe the structure. Nothing flipped and sank.
CSLKennyNI Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Phantasialand have shared these photographs of the River Quest refurbishment and retheme. Formerly bare concrete walls now themed and painted. New rock work inside queue line area.
cookiex Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 being hopeful A April/May opening but realistic I think a June/July opening is in place here I hope not since my trip to Phantasialand on June 6th hinges on Taron/Raik being open by then. I don't want to have to delay it into peak season.
CSLKennyNI Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 http://content.yudu.com/A3ytdv/PWFeb2016/resources/22.htm A very detailed and interesting interview with one of the project developers about Taron. And while we already knew it, this article is the first official confirmation from Phantasialand that Taron opens in 2016. * I love the fact the article refers to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland as part of the inspiration for Klugheim's rocks. My favourite park which I've visited since I was 3 partly inspired by a landmark in the country I'm from (Northern Ireland)!
DaveDowning Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 There is no confirmation that Klugheim will open in 2016. they just say that they are aiming for opening in 2016, but that there is no date confirmed yet. Wasn't Chiapas having problems with the final drop and the boats flipping over and sinking? No. It was just technical issues and maybe the structure. Nothing flipped and sank. There were (and are still till today) some issues with leaking, especially in some queue areas. Then they had a problem adjusting the speed and amount of splillage / wetness plus a new magnetic braking system that didn´t work properly. Also some things didn´t work at all (for example the waterfalls at the "temple" before the last lift). But nothing relevant in terms of security. They delayed opening to fix some minor issues. edit: Phantasialand confirmed, no opending date or timeframe for Klugheim.
PHLFANJAN Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Well, they also had problems with the lap-bars not opening, which crippled the capacity of the ride. Through the entire season 2015 the ride had seats closed off which also caused the Single Rider Line to be closed.
Projektion Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 There is no confirmation that Klugheim will open in 2016. they just say that they are aiming for opening in 2016, but that there is no date confirmed yet. Hoping it does. I'm probably going to be making my first trip to Phantasialand later in the year, and whether or not I book hinges on Tarons opening.
DaveDowning Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Well, they also had problems with the lap-bars not opening, which crippled the capacity of the ride. Through the entire season 2015 the ride had seats closed off which also caused the Single Rider Line to be closed. Yes, but I was referring to the initial delay. Hoping it does. I'm probably going to be making my first trip to Phantasialand later in the year, and whether or not I book hinges on Tarons opening. I believe they will open it in time for summer school holidays here, which should be beginning of July. I think this COULD be realistic, depending on whats still missing. Guess we will know more after the off-season (in a month). So far I only see station buildings and decorative buildings, but I´m quite sure there will be some food options added as well.
CSLKennyNI Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 The lastest image from Tobi showing the theming and enclosure of RAIK'S lifthills based on building site reports.
StealthFan Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) With the lift being enclosed I wonder if they will install some cool effects inside such a smoke machines, explosions or lasers guided death sharks. Edited February 21, 2016 by StealthFan
jedimaster1227 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 That enclosure is definitely a good way to plus this shuttle coaster. I'm interested to see if anything happens inside as a part of the experience.
timetrial3141592 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 With the lift being enclosed I wonder if they will install some cool effects inside such a smoke machines, explosions or laser guided death sharks. As if this expansion needed to be even more Elissa-friendly.

As if this expansion needed to be even more Elissa-friendly. All they would need is a raclette stand in the queue.
alexinla Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Elissa, you should book a flight to Germany asap, from the end of the month on Mc Donalds will offer a Raclette Burger(unfortunately limited time only) http://www.mcdonalds.de/produkte/produkt-profil?productName=big_beef_raclette
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 LOL, it sounds good! But it isn't the AMAZING Raclette for Europa!
alexinla Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 LOL, it sounds good! But it isn't the AMAZING Raclette for Europa! For real amazing Raclette, you go to a swiss ski resort, ohhhhh soooooo goooooood! But I will try the Mc D Raclette Burger, I like when they do some innovative Burgers...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 ^you don't need to go to a swiss ski resort to get good Raclette! The only thing you need is a good cheese and a way of getting it melted, that's it. Belive me, I'm swiss Btw: I really like the enclosed Lifts, it's something different...
BDG Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 River Quest's new colors... before: after: photos: Phantasialand
CSLKennyNI Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Love the River Quest refurbishment (my favourite water ride). It looks so good now!
RCT3Bross Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Really look forward to see the refurbishment done, Really like what they did with that gray adding darker tones to it, it sure looks better then that red and yellow.
alcanmage Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Someone got a link to the recent aerial photographs?
