Phantasialand Germany Trip Report.EDIT:Photos are up:D

This is my first Post in this Forum. So i thought a Trip Report might be a good way, to kick things off.

I went to the Park with my Unkel.

20 Minutes after Park opening, we pulled in the Parking lot.

After we got trough the Entrance, we went directly to the "Colorado Adventure".

It`s a well themed Mine Train Coaster.

Very fast Tracklayout, with a Amazing Helix right before the final Break.

Overall a good Coaster, no "Big Thunder Mountain" though.

Afterwards we went to the "Geister Rikschka".

Which is a Ghost themed Darkride.

It`s cool and funny to ride.

But after almost 16 Years of freqeuntly visiting the Park I still wasn`t able too figure out, what the Ride is all about.

Now it was time too check the NEW Movie on Galaxy out.

After finding out the new Movie is called "Race of Atlantis", we went in to the Q-Line.

First thing i noticed was, that the new Uniforms for the Ride-op`s look REALLY Stupid.

Come on..... do these Guys have to wear Wings on there Helmets??

Anyway the new Uniforms wern`t even half as stupid, as the new Pre-Show.

Seroiusly this Pre-Show was so bad, i was about to leave the ride, and make some Room for thoose that are willing to go through this.

But unfortunatly... the Door was loocked.

So i went through the 10 worst Minutes i`ve EVER experinced in a Theme Park. After this minutes of Horror that were Worst than ANY Ghostride, i finally got too see the Movie.

And it SUCKED!!!!.

Man what were they thinking whit that one???

Too get our Mood back up, we needed to ride on the "Winjas"

I think everything about this Ride is allready said here.

So I´ll leave it with that.

2 Times each Site on the Winjas schould be enough to hold me happy, for the rest of the Day.

Atleast i thought so before we decidet to check out the "Changes" on the "Temple of the night Hawk".

UUhhmm well atleast there was one change.

They tourned even the last Lights in the Ride of.

So from now on you see absolutly NOTHING during the so called "Ride".

Anyway i never liked this Ride, so whatever...

Last Ride on our List was the "Mystery Castle"

A inddor Themed Bungee Drop.

It`s no Tower of Terror. But it`s closest you can get, without being Disney.

After this it was time for the Attraktion, we really came to see: "The Blackmamba Construction side."

After we Shoot as many Photos as posebill, we went for the exit.

So this was my Trip Report.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Photos will follow tomorrow.

Can't wait for the photos!

I still can't get over how awesome Winjas was!

First of all, Welcome on the boards!

It looks like you had a good day at the Phantasialand, except the new Galaxy movie! You are right the "Temple of the night Hawk" ride is really boring! I mean I was more tired, then before I rode it! I think they need some new effects for the ride, that would make it a bit better! Winjas is my favorite ride there at the moment! To sad I can not ride Black Mamba this year! However, thanks for posting!

Overall a good Coaster, no "Big Thunder Mountain" though.

I just don't get why anyone who has ridden The Michael Jackson Thrillride can seriously claim that this coaster couldn't be a match for BTM.

I mean, even the Paris version is a considerably tame ride, except for the last part under the lake. Okay, a bloody well themed tame ride, I've got to admit, but Michael is far more exciting, well paced, very long and nevertheless amazingly themed.

So how can it not be on par with BTM? IMO, it's the best mine train I've ever been on or heard of. Basta.

i too think that Colorado is a great ride.

But it lacks the incredible Atmospehere, compared to BTM.

Anyway now the promised Photos.

The first thing we saw on the Way to the Park, made my Jaw drop.

Some of the new dekoration in Galaxy. Have i mentiond before that the re-theming sucked?

Some of the awfull deko at the Winjas. Yeah thats cool.

Dancing Crokodiles??? Ah yeah, the geister Rikscha.

Serously what is this Ride about. Man it`s still weird.

We rode Colorado 3 times, just to get this Photo. Looks cool if you ask me.

Thats a cool way to advertise a new Ride.

Nice deko in the Mystery Castle.

Ride op:"Are going to take the Camera with you during the ride??

My Unkel: "Jup".

Ride op:"And what are you going to do wiht the Camera on the Ride?"

My Unkel:" Iàm going to take some Photos."

Is this illegal?? I mean aren`t we sopesed to pay for this Photos??

Black Mamba costruction Site. Waiting time from here 20 Minutes.

It`s a little blurry. But i still think thats a great shot.

Finding a Hole in the Fence: 10 Minutes.

Get to the locatet Hole:5 Minutes.

Shot this Photo before you get removed from the Hole: Priceless.

Mmmahhhmm B&M.

Ok thats it for to Day. If you want to i`ll upload the ohter Construction Shots Tomorow.

^There's still hope that the new Galaxy ride will improve, because it was only a sneak preview for the Chirstmas season and is now to be rethemed properly. You've got to consider that the theming you saw had to done in less than a month's time.

I just hope that they redo this crappy preshow and adjust the cars in sync with the film.

Yeah i definaly hope that they will improve the Ride.

But i have a felling that the Uniforms will stay. so will the Pre-Show. and there is no excuse for that.

I mean, even if they improve the Theming and the Ride itself, it still wouldn`t motivate me to go trough this 10 Minutes of horror again.

Great pictures, Flo! I am really a bit sad, that I can not ride Black Mamba this year! I am sure it will be a nice coaster! However, thanks for posting!
