With overblown theming like that, the ride itself doesn't even need to be good.
Yes it does, or it'll fall form being that amazingly themed coaster to forgotten.

It doesn't need to be outstanding, just good.

I just popped into say TREES! Real foliage. Other parks are scared of it due to maintainance, but Phantasialand dun currrrr! <3
 
Yes, from a GP point of view. If it's it's tamer than it looks or if it isnt thrilling enough for its audience, that may lead to disappointment. OK.

But personally, if it's slower, it just provides a bigger opportunity to take in the detailed theming while onride instead of it being a blur. However fast and forceful it is, it's a win.
 
Not sure if this should get it's own topic now but supports for Raik (the family coaster adjoining this) are on their way.

^I think he's referring to the rockwork/theming for the ride. Yes, it's a bunch of grey slabs stuck together, but they're detailed slabs. I think the ride looks great.

This thing still looks like a pile of crap to me. Its just grey piles of whatever...

I'm sure your theme park will blow it out of the water :roll:

I think it looks great so far and they haven't even finished it! It does look a little grey but the detail is already fab and they've began planting greenery already!
 
Yeah was looking at that earlier and that sentence really grabbed my attention. Im really intrigued to see what they mean by that.

UPDATE.

Looks like Phantasialand will be revealing the train design with the rocks on the below image being removed each day until the final reveal on friday!



The first reveal shows wheels. Yes you read that correctly, wheels on a rollercoaster train?! Ok so the first reveal didnt give much away but i'll be checking each day!

Phantasialand surely knows how to build up excitement. The train design is the thing that I'm most anxious and excited about. Lap bars pleeeease!!
 
Jesus Christ, it's like a goon version of Catchphrase - apart from this is going to take so **** long...

Von heute an verraten wir hier bis Freitag jeden Tag ein bisschen mehr.
Or for non Germans... From today we reveal here to Friday every day a bit more.
 
Hope it catches on to build coasters suitable for winter season. Operating range down to -10°C =D>
 
I think headrests, but the pic of the train will be really small if so. Not much to make out yet really.

..For 2 central seats with SkyRush wing seats? :p
I'm 95% sure you're high right now. I'm also 95% sure it won't be those wonderful seats. There was something I read about the trains being unique, plus the clearance is too tight for wing seats.

Although if it was, this place would go crazy.
