The scale of this thing is insane!

I'm secretly hoping that Thorpe's ride will be something like this. It won't be.

This place looks as good as Disney! I need to go there this year, and then again next year I think so I can ride this beauty

This looks **** great. Heavily themed coasters <3

Re: Phantasialand | unknown | Intamin launched

The tracks appear to be plastic wrapped - is that on account of theme painting and not wanting to splash onto the track?

Re: Phantasialand | unknown | Intamin launched

Quite possibly; a lot of theming is created using a combination of wire framing and spray concrete - it could be to protect the track from that?! But some of it is missing, which is the confusing element.

Apparently a junior coaster from Vekoma will also open with this new area.

Hang on. TWO CREDS???

That is excellent news! I hope they'll theme that well too, but considering it's Phantasialand, I'm sure they will <3

Now the cred whores can't complain anymore. It will be a +7 park after these new investments (although obviously, it has much more to it).

Have some more photos from a couple of days ago. I'm excited to see how large the building is going to be. Lots of theming!

Re: Phantasialand | unknown | Intamin launched

It won't be in a building by the way, more covered mostly by rock formations I believe!

Only if you count Winjas as 2. :wink:

^ Why wouldn't you? They are two separate coasters with different layouts and different names. I don't see why they only count as one coaster. But then again, everybody counts stuff their own way .

I'm on my phone now at a lecture, but Phantasialand has just released an announcement and trailer of Klugheim on Facebook, and Taron is apparently going to be the fastest multi-launch coaster in Europe.

I hope someone else can link it here before I get home, otherwise I'll do it first thing.

I don't know how to embed videos from Facebook, but the video is on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/phantasialand?fref=ts

We present you the first insights in our upcoming theme world smart home.
Immersed in a breathtaking atmosphere with us.
Get ready for TARON - Europe's fastest multi-launch coaster!

Very dramatic!

 

[ThomVD]

It will be faster than Helix, which is 100 km/h. I wonder how much faster. I doubt there will be a big difference, but being intamin, the launches will probably be more forceful than Helix.

That music was epic.

I could finally watch the trailer with sound on. The music reminds me so much of LOTR

I've never even thought of the possibility to count the coaster as two! ^^ I think of it as "Winjas Fear & Force"; one coaster with two tracks, that share the same station, shares the same theme, is the same ride type, is the same ride.. But of course it's up to everyone to count their own way :wink:


Wow! There's litterally track everywhere! Hope they put in some nice Intamin airtime as well :--D
