July 13, 201510 yr comment_212968 Does anyone know why it even exists? My first thought would of course be to use it when the park is heaving to try and increase throughput. But when we went, the park was really quiet and queues never went above 30 minutes (and even then, Mystery didn't even go above 15 from what I remember...), which would sort of throw that theory out the window.
July 13, 201510 yr comment_212970 Yeah the short version of Mystery Castle is just disappointing... A real shame it even exists to be frank... I also find Mamba, a bit dull... It's a real ride of two halves, as the inversions are all pretty fab, yet the constant turns after are just dull and repetitive... A shame cos it has all the right ingredients... Rode Black Mamba again today as it was walk on... Still meh. It has a rattle the entire way round, and because it spends all of the time close to the ground, the effect is lost. Understandable. I love Black Mamba though, I think it's a cracking ride. Winjas is fun but not polished. Has some areas of great theming, however some parts felt a bit dead. The pacing on both is good however and I like the layouts. Agreed. I think Winjas just seems unfinished for some reason, like it was meant to be so much more. Disagree on pacing, the trick track completely kills it for me.
July 14, 201510 yr comment_212981 Yeah both days I went the queue for a Mystery Castle never went over 10 minutes, however yesterday they did the short cycle all day. On our second go on it yesterday, there was literally no queue yet the cycle was still cut in half. Annoying as like I said, I think the full ride is fab as it actually gives you something to compare the finale to.
July 14, 201510 yr comment_212984 I'd like to see something done with the indoor dark parts of winjas but I do actually think it's one of the best, if not the best spinner out there, and it definitely makes great use of its trick tracks. As a duelling coaster it doesn't work, however seperately they are 2 really fantastic rides.
July 14, 201510 yr comment_213014 I miss Phantasialand so much already I rarely feel that way about parks so I guess I love it there...
July 20, 201510 yr comment_213298 The ONLY thing that could potentially ruin this ride would be OTSRs... HOPEFULLY the coaster gods will look down upon this ride and give us normal lapbars or Intamin's take on the Mack Mega Coaster ones...
July 20, 201510 yr comment_213301 I still think the rocks look a bit odd but I'm sure when it's finished Klugheim will look fabulous. Those curves tho
July 20, 201510 yr comment_213302 If it's already visually stunning now, imagine what it'll look like when it's finished! Really can't wait to see the result of this ride looks and runs (and as Benin said) as long as the restraints aren't too heavy (I.e Helix) this will be an amazing ride! I think I'll have to plan a visit here for 2016!
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213392 Ooft, looking good! Sometimes I forget this is actually an Intamin.
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213393 Found an overview pic as well: The highest of hopes for this monster...
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213395 Potential candidate for the best looking 2016 ride in Europe right there! This monster looks phantastic!
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213396 I can't wait to see it all with the plastic off too! I also can't wait to see what Phantasialand has waiting for us after Klugheim.
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213416 I haven't been keeping up with this incredible looking ride, so I don't know much about this coaster. If anyone knows, why have they kept the wrapping over the track if they could just use a tarpaulin to protect it from any liquids and substances? And also what model coaster is this?
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213421 I haven't been keeping up with this incredible looking ride, so I don't know much about this coaster. If anyone knows, why have they kept the wrapping over the track if they could just use a tarpaulin to protect it from any liquids and substances? And also what model coaster is this? It will be an Intamin coaster with multiple launches. The reason for the covering is probably lay due to weather and protection during construction (I expect more rock to appear on this project).
July 24, 201510 yr comment_213461 This looks mental. I'm surprised at the lack of inversions... Are there even any visible ones yet?
July 24, 201510 yr comment_213463 I don't believe so, not that I saw anyway. I think this will be more like Juvelen than Helix or Maverick!
July 24, 201510 yr comment_213464 I don't believe so, not that I saw anyway. I think this will be more like Juvelen than Helix or Maverick! No bad thing. Bring on the Juvelen clones! Phantasialand just gets better and better.
July 24, 201510 yr comment_213465 Never said it was! I've heard great things about it too! My point was about it not having inversions, and having two launches.
July 26, 201510 yr comment_213536 Found some great ariel shots of Klugheim construction here! https://www.phantafriends.de/index.php?/topic/377-neu-2016-themenbereich-klugheim-diskussion-2/&page=60
July 28, 201510 yr comment_213565 That coaster site is massive! It's almost the size of a whole area too. Don't think I've been excited this much for an intamin coaster since Thirteen.
July 29, 201510 yr comment_213611 Tomorrow I should be booking a return trip to this amazing little park for the start of September! I'm hoping tonnes more work will have been done to the coaster by the time I get there!
