Yes I've been many times, it's the best time of the year to visit IMO. Couldn't recommend it highly enough 😍
One thing I would say is try to avoid the busy days as Phantasialand is so compact and it gets uncomfortably crowded.
£8-£10 for some of the most basic coasters in Europe is absolutely bonkers. As is £11 for Olympia Looping.
Haven't been there since paid entry became a thing but used to always go and spend a few hours eating/drinking in the Bavarian village.
When weighing it all up I can get flights and...
Just gonna do the LSM/Hydraulic ones...
1. Batman Gotham City Escape - Perfection. Whippy layout with incredible airtime. As well as decent themeing and Batmobile trains.
2. Toutatis - Pure power. Really close to being my favourite because of the madness of the swing launch. The top hat is...

Never thought I'd ever purchase a Thorpe Gold Pass, but I've definitely got my money's worth with it. I work nearby pretty regularly and 99%...
Nemesis Inferno had a single rider queue at the ride exit back in the mid 00's and not many people seemed to use it. Can't remember specifics but could get 30+ rides on it quite easily.
Nemesis at Towers had the same but think that was maybe just for a season or two? Remember getting on every...
Brilliant review @Matt N
I've always liked Hyperia but in recent weeks it feels like it's reached it's full potential. It really is incredible now, taking the elements with a bit more pace and aggression.
I do have to disagree with your praise for the sense of speed though. For me it doesn't...
28 miles from Thorpe, but was 18 miles away as a teenager.
Used to go multiple times a season with friends and family. Then 2010ish onward I'd begrudgingly visit once every few years because it was a dump.
Purchased an Annual Pass this season for Hyperia and I'm there every couple of weeks...
Have you played Texas Chainsaw Massacre? I've not played Dead By Daylight but they're very similar apparently.
Started playing it earlier this year when it came out and god knows how many hours I've spent on it.
I tend to marathon elite coasters, I'll often choose to re ride good coasters over getting new creds in the same park. So there aren't many I've only done once!
Kingda Ka - Done front row early on in the day and figured I'd get back on it at some point. Didn't bother as the queue was quite big...
No I think you're bang on and I'm a regular poster on there. Understandable though really, Alton Towers is a special place to many and Nemesis is a world class B&M.
I've got 9 rides on Hyperia now and whilst I wouldn't class it as 'elite', it's by far the best in the UK. It's never quite blown...
I rode Skyrush last October, so just before it closed for the refurb. It absolutely tried to kill me, was so happy it was as good as I'd remembered. So good in fact that I chose to marathon the back row rather than get a night ride on the excellent Wildcats Revenge.
I'll be gutted if the new...
Got 5 rides on Voltron on Friday.
Needless to say, as a full package it is absolutely world class. Just an incredible experience from the queue entrance to ride exit. Europa Park has always been the best in the world and now there's even more reason to keep going back.
As for the actual...
Hope this doesn't mean they're gonna slow down the lift hill speed.
Edit - clearly fake isn't it. You cant just lob up drive tyres like that in a few hours with no one noticing
