CoasterB Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hey all, I went to Phantasialand on Wednesday, This was my first theme park trip of the year since I fractured my spine at the beginning of the year, never the less I had a great time and was able to ride coasters again!!!! The park was empty, every ride was a walk on, River quest was down but it was too cold for that anyway. I was super hyped to ride Taron, I got 9 rides on it in totally, 4 times in the dark which was epic. Raik was also a great family ride, but going backwards on coasters just ruins me, I blame Namtab last year at great adventure for this lol. I managed to catch a few shows, the ice skating show was great, the rest of them were a bit ...meh but great fireworks at the end of the day which finished off the end to a perfect day. On with the photo's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Gorgeous shots and a gorgeous park, top-to-bottom! Halloween season gets tons of attention, but when parks (especially already-beautiful European parks) pile on the holiday lights and crank up the festive fall/winter atmospheres, I think those are some of the best in-park environments you can find anywhere!

CoasterB Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Wow, looks seriously good! Next year I will hopefully go in summer and if it is good may go for winter! Which rides are open? Every ride was open, Apart from river quest. The park apparently open the rides if it snows, They only don't if the snow settles thick on the tracks. The park is 100% worth a visit, it was good before Taron and now its even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Ha! This seems to be (to me) The Litmus Test for whether coasters can roll, in the winter snow or not. Phantasialand appears to have proven what the rest of the world freeks out about, whatever that is, when it snows. Phantasialand still runs them! Granted, there are only now three coasters that are actually outside. The other two are still inside, I presume? The report looks awesome, by the way. I especially love those night shots. Thanks for posting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I'd love to visit Phantasialand. Europa, and other European parks over Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1337 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Wow that looks amazing! I really love the lights at the second launch of Taron! Looks evil and intense as hell - fits well with the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexinla Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Phantasialand is beautiful this time of the year. But do not forget German Christmas food that is available.... Oh god, it is out of this World! My Gym will not see me until January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Woah woah woah, time out. So you're telling me that this park does a winter event where it frequently gets below freezing at night and they run the (amazing) Log Flume for the entire event?!?!?!?! Hang on a second. I'll be right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfie Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 ^ They do close it early each winter day, at about 5pm. But only because a few minutes later there is a winter show with projection mapping on Chiapas and what could best be described as a Stomp show performed by a fountain of flamethrowers that are mounted near the track of the ride. For real. @ OP, can confirm everything was a walk on because I was there the same day ^_^ If only we could have hung out Thanks for taking some nice pictures, since I was too awestruck by the Klugheim area at nighttime to take any myself! ...actually I can add one more picture from the launch section that turns hellish red when its dark My friends agreed that Taron is surprisingly awesome with ridiculous ejector air, gnarly launches and a crazy lineup of proper speed coaster elements. The line was so empty I managed to beat my record of most rides on a coaster in one day (17) and while lately I've been feeling coasters don't get to me anymore, Taron totally wrecked me after a couple of rides. At the end of the day I was still getting them feels each and everytime when the train hits the brakes at the end and you're kinda sitting there taking it all in. Phantasialand really is a great visit during wintertime, just like everyone in this thread is saying. U can ride Winjas, Black Mamba, Chiapas and all the other cool stuff with barely any lines, or no lines whatsoever! And the pizza, icecream, pulled turkey, waffles and pretty much any of the fresh food they make is amazeballs. Definitely one of my favorite parks to visit all year round.
