For a park to stand out to me it has to be really special. Not many parks do that successfully, give such a great balance of fun, imersiveness, magic etc. But Phantasialand is right up there for me with the great parks of Florida (probably my 2nd or 3rd favourite park I've been too). My only tiny complaint, there didn't seem to be a like big impact entrance. But that might just be they only have one and it's at the Berlin park entrance, not the mystery one (so many entrances and car parks).

Not a bad thing to have at the entrance though (this was the only thing we saw over the trees driving to the park)

Crazy rapids!

It's just such a lovely park! Nothing opened at 9 that we saw so we did a bit of wandering and it's so beautiful. This is a madhouse. Yep.

The Berlin street (with a brilliant funhouse in it!)

Was now 9:30 so we went to our first ride, Maus Au Chocolat! And it's amazing!!!! Same system as Midway Mania and just so much fun!!! Highlight of the trip by far!

Not knowing how busy it was going to be on park (8pm close and lovely weather) we did Chiapas.

You don't get soaking wet, or really that wet at all but it's a sublime ride!

Boat travelling the station.

Hidden away in this area is Talocan. A really forceful topspin with brilliant effects, music. It was like a show to watch

So much fire!!!

We headed back through Berlin past this really cool looking chairswing!

Simple but so effective!

To find a hidden boat ride Hollywood Tour with Hitchcock.

Could tell it was old but was still great with all the different sets. This is Amity.

Kong

Can't remember

There's also a coaster up there called Temple of The Nighthawk. All enclosed, quite good but is a bit dragged out.

Now was to try Winjas

Now I won't spoil it but when riding it you think they're quite modern spinners with what they do. Surprisingly they open in 2002.

Fury and Spinball could have been special

Wooosh

They had one of these. We did the one at Plopsa and got the dirtiest looks ever. Plus they're not that good so no thanks.

Josh didn't want to walk under the bridge in the maze because it might get him wet.

There was also an interesting splash battle. Might have been good if the effects worked but yeah. No. It was at the back of the park hidden away, I can forgive them like it almost wasn't real...

It was time for the hyped up ride of okayness.

It looks great with its surroundings. And you can't work out the layout one bit.

But yeah. Even Jack points at it as a "oh I wanted that little bit more"

Definitely not a bad ride. Not at all. Just overhyped

So we had some Currywurst and watched a man through some ming vases around.

Was time for Mystery

With rapids

The drops are ridiculous. If you're unlucky in your seating you get soaked.

Again this looked amazing. Like sooo good!

It's the only imposing thing on park

It was just quite disappointing. Although we've now heard it has two settings and we caught the naf one.

Having done the park we hit up some rerides. Jack and Peaj did Talocan again so me and Josh watched the show

Bucky also enjoyed the show, shame it set his ears on fire

Yes, lower Peaj and Jack into the fire

We made sure we caught this.

So I've now seen the show in English with no effects and German with effects. Wish I'd just seen it at Thorpe jeez

I really like this ride sign! It's subtle, works with the theme and you get a great view of the ride in it!

We went and watched the ice skating show which was pretty good. Was nice to be able to see shows at a park, added a lot more to the day than just rides.

Their mine ride

Again very good. I liked here how everything interacted with something else basically.

More B&M

More Jack

Pretty

Woosh

Lovely view of China

And here is the cake we saved from those mice on Maus Au Chocolat!
This is the only park from the trip I really want to visit again. Was my favourite day, and the 11 hours were so easy to fill, we didn't even do that many rerides. We thought it would be our longest day, nope. Join me next time where we go to Toverland, and then dash off to Efteling to hit up Baron on its opening day
