What's new

Phantasialand | Taron | Intamin launched

^The article said that a Panorama curve is like that of Cheetah Hunt's elevated figure 8 curve. That probably won't happen anyways, but for reference, there you go.
 
Oh, lord, that wind catcher element on Cheetah Hunt is amazing! I'd love to see a more intense version of it. Still, though. This ride. <3
 
^^ The pre-drop u-turn of the Intamin hyper currently being built in China was also refered to as a panorama curve I think :) Which in essential would mean that all the pre-fabs would have a panorama turn too!

It's hard to forget how massive this is until you see people in the picture...

As per usual, kudos to the peeps over at http://www.phantafriends.de
 
Upstop Media tweeted this photo the other day. Looks massive!

Oh yeah, many Intamins don't satisfy you in the back but for some strange reason you know Taron will. I wonder if it'll have disabled access?
 
This will be fantastic when it gets finished off. I know that Intamin have got a bit of a bum rap lately due to various reasons, but with the over exaggerated curves and huge crevasses, it'll be a firm favourite for anyone who likes their creds with excessive theming.
 
^It's VERY curvy, you're right. I think because Taron will be so good in the back that it'll take the shine off of other Intamins. I mean, why would you just ride other Intamins in the front when Taron delivers just as good, if not better in the back.
 
Taron might be the curviest thing I've ever seen.

It's the big, round corners that I think are going to make it so much fun in the back.

Taron is definitely one ride to do in the rear.
 
Not sure that I've captured anything particularly new, but have some photos anyway.
This thing is just amazing in the flesh. Cannot wait until next year. Phantasialand <3
Think I'm most excited about the transition in the first photo and all the gorgeous s-bends along the floor!

Also, for those that don't know, Phantasialand have set up these 'peep holes' so that you can look through into the heart of the action. So filthy ;p
They've been there since my visit last year and are so fab.
They also have up a video advertisement and some artwork in the same area which I don't remember seeing before but can't really remember to be honest.
(Sorry for the terrible photos)

A Taron peep show? Don't mind if I do! Right now she's just "look but don't touch" and all but Taron should be legal in a few months and by then, Taron should be able to just throw you around at night over and over again until you're walking back to your hotel like a baby giraffe. ;)

Can't wait to ride it someday!
 
What's with all the film over the track? I've never seen that before.

I suppose with Taron, protection is needed. Especially in that dark, extremely large, moist hole.
 
^^I imagine the film is being peeled off before things actually get rolling, though. Taron can't properly show you a good time covered up like that!

I also reckon Taron will be awesome at night. Getting whipped around in the dark like that would be awesome! Especially if you make sure to leave the restraints loose so Taron has room to toss you about freely.
 
^It sounds to me, Jarrett, that you really want to have go on Taron at the back. As far as the restraints go it'll have to be loose. I doubt you'll get a tight restrictive ride in the back of Taron.
 
Oh my gosh, this ride has a very similar sounding name to mine. I wonder if that's why all you guys who don't know me are making these incredibly sexualised jokes. That's really cute :')
But also, it does look amazing, I can't wait to get to Phantasia next year!
