Just over a week later than I stated but oh well
I'm pretty tired, so my writing probably won't be the most inspiring. Therefore, I will mainly show pictures. By the way, some of them are from my Phantasialand last year.
So after a couple nights in Koblenz, we visited the final park of the park of the trip, Phantasialand. My favourite park and it was my fourth visit.
It was quite wet when we arrived.
I must admit, I really don't like the new green sections of track on Colorado Adventure. I don't see how it supposedly fits better with the area.
Beautiful
The drop is pretty steep.
Chiapas actually ended up opening early, even though most rides aren't supposed to open till 10am. It was a very nice surprise, especially considering it wasn't water ride weather.
Some of the queueline.
We got 4 consecutive goes on it without getting off. It is a very nice amount of wetness, making it more re-ridable in cold and wet conditions.
It's a very good log flume. It has: good theming, length, a brilliant final drop and following camelback hill and a very good soundtrack. It ticks all the boxes for an exceptional water ride and adds yet another brilliant ride to Phantasialand. Fantastic!
Black Mamba was next.
Last year I left the park feeling this was my favourite coaster. This time was not as successful. It seemed to lack the relentless pace and felt a little too controlled this time. It has still has surprisingly good pops of airtime, a great layout and great theming, but I just didn't get the same feeling as I did last time.
Its still one of my favourite Inverts and in my Top 20, but even after quite a few rides I did not understand why I had it at number one until I305 this summer.
Onto the Winjas!
It's a really hard ride to photograph.
The first time I rode these coasters, I was mesmerised. Since then the novelty has worn off a bit. Fear is the best spinning coaster in the world, but Force is pales in comparison. I feel like Winjas Fear was made first and then Phantasialand decided just to squeeze an extra track in there.
Mystery Castle please!!
By the way, the park was pretty quiet this visit which meant little queueing. As MC has short queues even on busy days, it was very quiet this time.
It took me a little while to get used to this ride, but I loved it last year and this year. It has great atmosphere and a fairly good program. Sadly, it was running on a shorter one later in the day.
Phantasialand's other brilliant water ride.
Definitely the best and most thrilling rapids ride. It's always great to see people's reactions at the top of lift, looking down the first drop.
From the best rapids ride to the best mine train
I only rode this twice on this visit because they closed the back two cars whenever the queue got quite short and it is only a great coaster when towards the back. A shame, but at least it wasn't for the whole day.
I didn't ride Talocan, Maus or Nighthawk on this visit, but they are all one of the best of their ride types.
We had a final ride on Chiapas before we left.
Final thoughts. Although, there were a few small disappointments, Phantasialand is still my favourite park. It may not have massive quantity, but has ultimate quality in all areas. It is a very 'complete' park.
Thank you for reading my Phantasialand report and all my other reports
