CoasterB Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hello all, Today I was at Phantasialand, The park in about 1hour 10 mins from my house and it was my second time visiting. Il quickly talk about the attractions and then show the pictures. Every ride was basically a walk on or a max 5 minute wait, apart from Chiapas which was 120mins basically all the boats had problems with the lapbars so every 5th boat had about 2 or 3 people in, the line sucked, but that was the only queue. The whole park is really well done, and every attraction is themed so well. Black Mamba is still awesome it really picks up speed in the final helix. And the two Winja spinning coasters are really something special and were great fun. Mystery castle, not being my favourite freefall ride was a lot of fun to and I wouldn't miss it out. The Chiapas is an awesome log flume probably one of the best ones i'v ridden. The River Quest is a great water ride too with some surprise elements, on my second time it broke down and we got evacuated, so we took the back stairs out and managed to get a couple good snaps of the Taron Construction. A quick mention to the Colorado Adventure, great ride, really long, but jerky in places and the Temple of the knight hawk coaster just isn't my favourite and again jerky. But I had a great day and here are the pictures Fun mine train coaster This part was fun I see a B&M..... Loop de loop Yay Black Mamba kicks ass! Such a good log flume but the wait was a bit extreme. Really lovely area of the park Talocan Entrance... The best Huss topspin your ever ride More of Talocan The Berlin area The water on this was really cool Around the back of the Berlin area The Winjas Fear & Force These were great fun and I rode both sides. I thought that Fear was better than Force The River Quest queue line The Mystery castle. I wouldn't miss it, but iv been on much better tower rides but the concept is cool. Taron construction time Heres a view from the River Quest queue And a picture from the back of the River Quest when I got evacuated New adverts for the new Klugheim are It had window flaps in the wall which opened so you could see the construction Twisty Lots of Head Choppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Nice Photo TR! I've never been to Phantasialand, even if I live next to Germany in Switzerland! But when Taron is open, I just have to go there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baffles Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Great pics. Taron looks breathtaking and it's about a quarter done.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) How come they're constructing the coaster still wrapped in plastic? It's interesting, I've never seen that before. LOVE some of the themeing elements. Definitely looks like a place I need to visit should I make it to Europe!

CoasterB Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 ^ Apparently there's so much theming to be added they are protecting the track paint so that when construction is finished it looks brand spanking new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Ahh, I see. That's kind of cool - when everything is all done, they can unwrap it like a big Christmas present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Also, it's easier to dust the tracks, once the plastic is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What an amazing detailed park. It's a shame that most of our parks in the US are such carnivals with coasters these days. That is what a theme park should look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What a great trip report! Thank you for posting. This is on my "bucket list" of parks to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I haven't been to Phantasialand since 2008, and I'd love to visit it again. It really has made a lot of improvements since then--but I hope they keep the truly cheesy Hollywood Tour boat ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.H.A.C.E Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just to clarify, taron is an intamin creation right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
