| Attractions |
| The park is broken into six regions: Africa, Germany, China, Mexico, Fantasy, and Mystery. The major thrill rides are Black Mamba (B&M invert), Winjas (custom dual-track Maurer Sohne spinner with surprises), Mystery Castle (Drop Tower and show), River Quest (boat ride), and Talocan (impressively themed Top Spin). Colorado Adventure is an above-average mine train, and the park has plenty of indoor attractions: Feng Ju (Mad House), Silbermine, Geister Ricksha (Ghost Train), and the incomparable Hollywood Tours. |
| Food |
| Each area of the park serves food "native" to that region. The best food can be found in the traditional German offerings, along with the lo mein cart in China. |
| Operating Season |
| The park is generally open from April to early November--check the park website for specific hours. |
| Established Seasonal events |
| The Winter Experience runs from late November through early January--consult the park website for specifics. The indoor rides and shows are open during the Winter Experience. |

| TPR Notes |

Phantasialand is an interesting park. Some rides are incredibly themed, some provide intense thrills, some are just downright odd but are all quite fun. As far as theming goes, Black Mamba and Talocon are two of the best of their kind. For uniqueness, Winjas is just a surprise-filled "two-of-a-kind" coaster.
The park has placed many rides within buildings that may be hard to find, so you best come prepared to not miss anything. | |

Unbeatable theming

This is an amazing park with some very unique rides for families and for thrill seekers. Black Mamba is the best themed coaster I've ever been on, The Winjas are two amazing spinning coasters that are so unique and fun and Colorado Adventure is by far the best mine train I've ridden hands down. The Rapids is also one of the best around because again of how it really differs from the traditional rapids ride with its vertical lift and several drops. The theming at Phantasialand is totally OTT in a great way especially the African and Chinese area of the park. The food is nice but in the summer expect to see wasps having a good tuck in to the food as well.

I really loved this park. Everyone says that this park my need a few more "BIG" attractions but I think this park is fine the way it is. You have Black Mamba and Winjas as amazing and top attractions. The thing I love about this park is that there are so many unique rides here. A drop tower inside a castle, the weird elevator lift raft ride and the awkward but amazing dark rides. This is a great park for the whole family to enjoy and I highly recommend visiting it when you are in Germany.

We've been numerous times to Phantasialand. I'd been there already at a very young age with my parents. The park really kept on getting better, better themeing, better rides. But some rides really have to get renewed or simply changed: Hollywood Tour and Temple of the Nighthawk, surely one of the most despicable dark-rides we've ever been on.

Beautiful Park

This was a "sure why not" park when I was studying abroad that gave me one of my best days ever. Theming is exquisite, with original characters (dragons) each having a land. While some rides show their age (Hollywood Ride) the majority are heavily themed and very fun to ride. Black Mamba is one of the best B&M inverts around, and Winjas is very well done as well. The Top-Spin needs to be seen as well. Operations were above average, but could be a bit better. Park atmosphere is great. Food in park was a bit forgettable. Shows were very impressive, as well as many streetmosphere style characters. Hotels are brilliantly themed, and my stay at Hotel Ling Bao was certainly worth the price.

Unique!

Unique is the one word to describe this park. The theming is among some of the best ever. Black Mamba is a very fun B&M, and Talocan is my favorite top spin ride in the world! They have a great mine ride Colorado Adventure, and some of the most unique water rides you'll ever ride! The shows, hotels, and food is above par, but the true star of this park is Winjas, my vote for the most unique roller coaster on the planet. The things this ride does is almost unbelievable. The park also has Mystery Castle, a very messed up giant frog hopper style ride. This park may be small, but it is for sure very complete and great for the whole family with lots of stuff for kids, teens, and adults. I highly recommend this park to anyone!

The must seen are Mystery Castle, River Quest, Talocan, Black Mamba, the 2 Winjas, the differents areas are perfect! If you're a family visitor or a thrill seeker you'll get lots and lots of fun!
