Did you two get to go through the Deep in Africa - Adventure Trail? That really surprised me on how cool that was! You definitely wouldn't see anything like that in an American theme park.
This is my home park and while I haven't been there in ten years I still like keeping up with what they do and what people think. Maybe I'll make it again some time, if my health permits. It's just great to see a smaller park that isn't owned by a huge conglomerate get some recognition for doing things the right way!
Then you never did a ride on Taron or Fly! Shame on you 🙂. You absolutely have to go there again. I did my first "re-visit" 3 years ago... and now we go there yearly. Its just so great! (we book well in advance and were very lucky with the weather each time. We went there during the week on school-free days for the children. Paid-Time-Off for the adults.

Nice vlog! I've been there before too, Phantasialand truly has some of the best rides in the world. One of the best roller coasters with Taron, probably the best mine train with Colorado Adventure, probably the best log flume with Chiapas, and probably the best flat ride with Talocan (normally it has fire effects too), and let's not forget F.L.Y. which is so unique. But i've been there way before F.L.Y. was built, so it's a reason to return!
I love this park so much. After giving it a lot of thought, I have it placed as my favorite. I should be returning in late next year for their winter event.
Had a theme park bash around Germany and Holland a couple of weeks ago. Went to Europa Park, Tripsdrill, Phantasialand, Movie park, Toverland and Eftling. I was very impressed with the quality of all the theme parks and the theme park operations, especially late in the season. They are all amazing parks and if you are a coaster fan, you need to go to all of them. Enjoy.
I really want to hit a bunch of European parks some day. It wasn’t the focus of the trip this time, but someday I’d love to do a Europe trip where they are the primary focus.
There is no adding without removing something for it in this park and that limitation is what makes Phantasialand well themed and rich in details. Their focus always was putting the big theme park experience into the little space they have which can´t be expanded. The park itself is just 30 ancres pretty smal for a big park experience but you sure have it.
@@gedeuchnixan3830 it is amazing how small it is but how much is inside it. They manage to cram in so much while also making sure things don’t overlap with each other.
@@Parkproductions1991 Everytime they redo the park (closed for next season and they start working before the last visitors left the park) they spent even more attention to details than last time. And it´s the smal size of Phantasialand which makes it so great and emersive: because everything is so smal and close and just feels more emersive and real than big, open, obviously fake worlds. In big parks due to the spacing you´re still going to miss a lot of details since you´re spending so much time walking to the next attraction. And even in the waiting lines, when they´re there, you have time to spent on all those details, even waiting lines aren´t 100% boring like in other parks.
I didn;t see this video untill today. It is a great review for Phantasialand and Vekoma rides. I agree that F.L.Y is a coaster that can't be compared to any other ride because of many innovations that are included. I loved to contribute to the realisation of the ride. I tested the 4 trains, first in the headquaters of Vekoma in the Netherlands and afterwards on site at Phantasialand. I just shared the video on my facebook page and added good dutch comment to it. Thanks for beautiful video, I hope my share action helps te give it more attention. Kind regards, Jeroen Konings
@@jeroenkonings6623 Thank you so much. It’s incredible how far Vekoma has come. Do you yourself work for Vekoma? I really hope to see more of those flying model in the coming years. Especially if Disney or Universal built one. I can picture them theming it incredibly well and would love to see their take on it. In the meantime, Phantasialand has a true masterpiece with their Vekoma flyer, and I cannot wait to fly back a little over a year from now to get back to this incredible park.
@@Parkproductions1991 Thanks for your quick reply. Since 1995 I have done several large or small project parts for Vekoma. It started when I was employee by a Dutch company with the development, programming and testing of the first Mad House at Efteling, called Villa Volta. Afterwards I tested several of technically the same rides over the world, all with different theming. For me the first one is by far still the most beautiful. Since 1999 I have my own company and one of my main costumors is Vekoma. In my opinion Efteling is still the best park I have seen because of size, trees and Anton Pieck style. Phantasialand is second becauce it is smaller but it is incredible how they managed to put in so much top rides on a small footprint. For F.L.Y. I tested all technical parts of the trains, first at headquaters of Vekoma and afterwards of course at Phantasialand.
Such a bummer that Talocan doesn‘t have the fire elements anymore. That just really ads to it. Really glad you enjoyed Phantasialand! It‘s my favorite themepark and I try to visit it couple of times every year
@@Parkproductions1991 I think it was off for the whole season, maybe even longer. They fixed it though and it's back on since the first day of Wintertraum!
Its true that Phantasialand did an amazing job with the little space and the rules for construction like heightristrictions they need to follow from the government. The community that lives near by does everything to make it very difficult for Phantasialand to expand and make it even more awsome. They got Some intens attractions there! You Will also love Europapark I think 😁 im from Belgium and I must say that the film themes in universal gave me a more magical feeling. But thats my personal taste 😉
If u want to go to christmas markets - u could go through Cologne / Düsseldorf / Essen / Bochum / Dortmund and in the north of essen (like 30km) u also would have the Moviepark - its also a quite nice themepark.
@Parkproductions1991 Yes. Europe has been pretty amazing looking theme parks. We love Universal, but are really looking forward to branching out more. Would also love to visit Asia at some point.
Ive been with my class to Bobbiejaanland, europark, moviepark,efteling,six flags, toverland, phantasialand. All amazing. My next park must be Universal and Ferrari world.
@@lotuscabrio2937 thank you. I’ve been MIA for a little bit due to life being busy at home. But I have a new video finally coming out tomorrow from my visit from Carowinds last week.
Grew up in Cologne and now Phantasialand since its early beginnings. It never was the best in anything, it was fun, but the notion someone calls it The Best was unfathomable. In the 2000 the park declined incredibly. Old attractions, broken animatronics, outdated theming, rude staff and it looked as if Europa Park Rust took the crown with PL behind. It became so bad, not even my kids wanted to go anymore. I am happy to hear that somewhere between 2015 and today they took the turn and improved. Honestly everybody thought they would go broke and sooner than later it will be turned into an office park or golf courses.
It looks like they started investing around 2006 with the addition of Black Mamba. Add in everything since and this park is something special. Based on what I knew of the park before 2006 it didn’t seem too noteworthy. For sure not the case anymore.
I visited about 2012(?), at the start of heir major rebuild, It is a completely different park today. Cannot say to much about the quality of the theming.
Nice Vlog. I love this place. You mentioned, that this park was not overhyped. Did you know about this park beforehand? I am just surprised that people from the United States would even know about this place. Is it actually known in the States?
In the roller coaster enthusiast world, we all know about Phantasialand, especially once Taron and F.L.Y. opened up. For myself once I saw how amazing F.L.Y. looked, I knew I had to get out there. But from what I can tell is many Americans who are really into theme parks have Phantasialand very high on their bucket list.
The announcement for Taron to be built put Phantasialand on many coaster enthusiast's bucket list. Beforehand no one in the US hardly knew anything about this little gem near Cologne.
@@xdAstroo I’m going back to Phantasialand for Winterum in 2025 but I’m also spending two days at Europa Park. Voltron looks like it might be a top 10 coaster for me.
Going in September with family and friends. I have a smaller child but can’t find the stroller policy, do you know anything about that? Also are any of the rollercoasters plus size friendly?
I went with my two year old so they handle the rider switch system very well. Just be prepared to go into areas that don’t have ramps. Klugheim near Taron in particular I had to carry him up the stairs. As for plus sized, I do not have any info on that.
@@Parkproductions1991 you can get into klugheim and most of the park with ramps, but you might have to take a longer path through other areas to get there. And "plus size" friendly might depend - but if you fit into regular B&M Seats you should be fine on all attractions there. Otherwise you would have to juse the big boy seats in the middle of black mamba and hope they can squish you enough on taron. But Winjas might be too tight - if you are not shure ask the staff, if you ask nicely they are friendly
@@Parkproductions1991 a nice. Well crazy bats originals had a space theme and featured stars, an astronaut and so on, was called space center and was great back in the day. Today I'd recommend riding without vr, made me feel a little bit nauseous because of a slight delay.
I question it being "better". Don't get me wrong, I love Phantasialand, and have a distinct love/hate relationship with DL. One thing there is no question about is Phantasialand is _much_ more affordable.
It’s my personal favorite park. I can see how people can make the argument that some Disney and Universal parks could be better. However, to me I just love the level of theming of this park. Plus it has two coasters in my top 10.
@@Parkproductions1991 Oh, I'm not trying to argue too hard. The first time i ate at Rutmore's Tavern, I was hooked. I expected Bilbo and Gandalf to walk through the door. Absolutely enchanting. And bang-for-the-buck cannot be beaten.
@@dertommel5210 not yet. I’m going back to Phantasialand next year but this time I’m also going to Europa during both parks Christmas events. I’m very excited for this trip to say the least.
@@Parkproductions1991 Phantasialand is really awesome. At "Wintertraum" you can ride Taron at Night. That is absolut amazing. Europa Park is really really Huge. I would say you need 3 Days, better 4 to see evrything. This Themepark has European Countrys as Theming.
Universal is great, especially Islands of Adventure. I personally prefer Phantasialand as its my favorite park overall, but I can see someone having IOA as theirs.
Did you smoke something? You are for real that Phantasialand is better than Universal Studios and Disney? Wow. That is the most ridiculous thing I´ve ever heard.
You picked the absolute most 2 expensive parks in the world that rich folk go too. Guess your rush. I guess you’ve never been the absolute best theme park in the world Busch Gardens Tampa because during slow season they closed part of the park up to an hour after the park opens. It’s all about speed and nothing else matters how fast do the coasters go??? Absolutely outstanding from start to finish
I went to BGT in April and had a great time. The comparison I was making was more with Disney and Universal because they have really high levels of theming like Phantasialand. BGT has theming, but it’s not to the level of these parks, which is fine. That’s not what they are focusing on, and they focus more on high levels of thrills.
Go there during the Wintertraum event. Taron at night is another level.
We actually have plans to come back for Winteraum in 2025. We will also be going to Europa Park for the first time.

I didn’t get a chance since Mamba was down I didn’t really go over there. It’s on my list to check out for my trip back a little over a year from now.
Phantasialand always number 1 in theming. I hope they will build a new section where the hollywood attraction was.
Great video! keep it up
If their next major addition is as well themed as Klugheim and Rookburgh, then Phantasialand will no doubt be the best park in the world.

@@dieZera going to Europa Park for the first time too since I didn’t have time last time.
I question it being "better". Don't get me wrong, I love Phantasialand, and have a distinct love/hate relationship with DL. One thing there is no question about is Phantasialand is _much_ more affordable.
It’s my personal favorite park. I can see how people can make the argument that some Disney and Universal parks could be better. However, to me I just love the level of theming of this park. Plus it has two coasters in my top 10.
@@Parkproductions1991 Oh, I'm not trying to argue too hard. The first time i ate at Rutmore's Tavern, I was hooked. I expected Bilbo and Gandalf to walk through the door. Absolutely enchanting. And bang-for-the-buck cannot be beaten.
Forgot to add, much enjoyed your spot-on reviews of the rides and other features of the park. Cheers!
Better than disney for sure. Universal is still a brand new park compared to the other two
Sorry for my Englisch.
I think fly have an another sory by like the reeal Story. Ist like the real stroy of the ground where phantasialand is. A mine
It’s something I like about Disney/ Universal and their attractions is they have a background story.
Have you ever been in "Europa Park" ? You must visit it.
@@dertommel5210 not yet. I’m going back to Phantasialand next year but this time I’m also going to Europa during both parks Christmas events. I’m very excited for this trip to say the least.
@@Parkproductions1991 Phantasialand is really awesome. At "Wintertraum" you can ride Taron at Night. That is absolut amazing.
Europa Park is really really Huge. I would say you need 3 Days, better 4 to see evrything. This Themepark has European Countrys as Theming.
Silver Dollar City is the best theme park imo which is correct
It’s one of my top bucket list parks to visit. I have a feeling it will rank very high once I do.
The rides are open at Universal for early park admission. I think Universal is better.
Universal is great, especially Islands of Adventure. I personally prefer Phantasialand as its my favorite park overall, but I can see someone having IOA as theirs.
😂😂😂
you missed mystery castle :(
I rode it and talked about it in the video. It’s my second favorite drop tower behind Falcon’s Fury at Busch Gardens Tampa.
I am probably spoiled, as Hansa-Park is my home park. But the drop tower there - Highlander - is much better IMHO.
Europa Park is way better then this tbh
I will have to see when I go for the first time late next year. I do have to say Voltron looks incredible.
Did you smoke something? You are for real that Phantasialand is better than Universal Studios and Disney? Wow. That is the most ridiculous thing I´ve ever heard.
I agree with him that it‘s way better… no reason to get jealous.
You picked the absolute most 2 expensive parks in the world that rich folk go too. Guess your rush. I guess you’ve never been the absolute best theme park in the world Busch Gardens Tampa because during slow season they closed part of the park up to an hour after the park opens. It’s all about speed and nothing else matters how fast do the coasters go??? Absolutely outstanding from start to finish
I went to BGT in April and had a great time. The comparison I was making was more with Disney and Universal because they have really high levels of theming like Phantasialand. BGT has theming, but it’s not to the level of these parks, which is fine. That’s not what they are focusing on, and they focus more on high levels of thrills.
BGT is more of a thrill park than a theme park. Even then, Hershey is better than BGT.
In europe its all about speed but msot imporrant SMOOTH rides
Absolutely not for me, nothing else matters besides speed.
@@drewcorry5056 "oh no, stop having fun"
No its not. EFTELING is the greatest theme park in the world. And its not even close.
Efteling is also not the best!
The Best Park is where you were atm!
@@InfinityCoasters except when you are at Freizeitland Geiselwind, thats just a collection of old metal waste
