Phantasia + Mystery Castle

[ThomVD]

I'm going to Phantasialand for 2 days with a friend, while staying at Hotel Matamba (A present from me for my friend), on saturday and sunday 21 and 22 June. I know it's probably going to be pretty crowded (anyone with experience can guess around what time most queues will be?), but I'm slightly worried about Mystery Castle. I've heard that there are multiple programs depending on how crowded it is. When I went to Phantasia it was completely deserted and I got 1 ride on MC, and got the long program, and I absolutely loved it, so I'm scared the short program is going to ruin the ride this time. Also, what is the short program like? Does it have the awesome german speech and the build up to shooting up? Or is it just pew, up, pew down, done?

The short program goes like:

-light goes out- Pew Pew up (but rather slow), fall down, also not very fast. When you think "Well that Sucked", you get launched again (first slow, then fast), and at the top there is a German speech something like "feel the rage of mystery castle" and some light effects, and you fall with a little bit airtime, and that's the end.

I have always had the short program, even on days when the park was almost empty (like no lines, even not for frontseat Black Mamba).

Oh, I thought that was the long program. I had that too, except that the speech was before shooting up. So what is the long pogram like then?

I don't think they still use the long one. I could be wrong about the speech.
