JoshC. Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Mini Rookburgh update... An entrance archway had been formed on Berlin street, taking out a small part of the bakery that was there. This will probably be the more grander entrance to the area, with access likely also possible from around the Fantasy area where the advertising signage is. As for construction, it is thought that all digging is done at long last, and some more footers have been placed. So hopefully we'll see more track go up soon.

Matt 236 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 This definitely looks better than expected because it offers a unique and interesting access way to access the upcoming Rookburgh area, whilst in keeping with the stunning Berlin Street. Can’t wait to watch Rookburgh progress and develop, and who knows what else may enter the new area in the form of attractions, shops, restaurants or even more. Mamba’s new rockwork is without doubt stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has everything. - Black Mamba > Nemesis - Chiapas is exceptional but I prefer Ripsaw Falls overall. - River Quest is wild.

And there was me thinking I was the only person on the planet who thought both of these!! I do love Chiapas to bits but Ripsaw falls final drop truely is a thing of beauty....and you actually get wet on the ride!!! alexander 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Taron is just simply bliss. It’s just as amazing to look at as it is to ride and one of my favourite coasters. I prefer Nemy but still like Mamba, which is well themed (even more-so) after the rockwork update. Chiapas is my favourite flume ride, the disco room is fab! Haven’t had the pleasure of Ripsaw Falls so unfortunately can’t compare that one. Phantasialand seems to be one of the best parks to combine both amazing theming and ride layouts. Apparently the China area (especially the hotel) has seen some updates recently, which imply this could be the next area to be redeveloped.

Benin Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Chiapas is better than Ripsaw Falls, predominantly because of the distinct lack of drenching and also the backwards rave room... Taron as an overall package is fantastic, as a ride I'd rather ride Helix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I love you. I haven’t done Helix! But I’ve heard amazing things. Taron doesn’t need inversions and I beg to differ about the ejector airtime tbh I love you too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Surprised no one posted this, Phantasialand got a letter off a 9 year old girl wanting to be an engineer, so they invited her along for a look at the morning checks on Taron...

yeah Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 That's really nice, I've never been but Phantasialand seems like it could be my favourite park when I get there. also, is that background music from Thorpe? Sounds like it to me. Would make sense with the IMAScore link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 It was a wonderful piece of marketing from Phantasialand.

Fairly certain it isn't Thorpe and more just generic upbeat music. Might be IMAscore stock music or something I s'pose. Phantasialand certainly wouldn't be able to get away with using Thorpe music on one of their marketing videos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 What I love about Phantasialand is, you know what they are adding, but you also don’t know what they are adding. That probably makes no sense. Those Tower structures look strongly intruiging. Could they be large theming packages or something else? A hotel, theatre, enclosed attraction? We may not know for some time. Every project seems more fascinating than the last here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Phantasialand is by far one of the best Theme Parks I have ever visited it's the only park, That gets me excited knowing I'm going back there. JoshC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 The last picture shows just how crammed the area will be! It's absolutely mental what they're doing with this, and I really can't wait to see it develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Phantasialand are certainly amazingly efficient and creative when it comes to using space. This certainly will be a crazy massive project for the park and a similar scale to Klugheim (if not bigger). I wonder what what the purpose of those gaps in the concrete structures are? Intruiging.

coasterdude73 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Is it worth getting quick pass for a trip in early September? Anyone got a rough idea of queue times for this time of year? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Queues at Phantasialand seem to fluctuate quite weirdly, best checking German school times to see if you desperately need it but I'm doubtful... Just hit up Winjas first and that's the worst queues out the way, all the others are beautiful enough to warrant waiting in (Colorado Adventure aside), though of course this wildly depends on which entrance you go into... It's not the simplest park to plan a day in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I went at the beginning of Sept last year (5th & 6th) and the longest queue was for Taron which was around the 60-90 min mark but we were staying in Matamba so had ERT at the end of both days. Everything else was max 20 mins (if that) - we did use one of our fast passes from the hotel for Winjas only because we needed to use the passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
