      For the people that don't know: Even though there is space they can't expand their area because they are not getting the permission to do so (the locals are against it) so all they can do is replace rides etc., very unfortunate. Like, why move to an area with an amusement park nearby just to complain about it...

We have a couple of nice theme parks in Germany, but none is as great as Phantasialand. I live nearby Europa Park, definitely a great Park, but they definitely don't put as much effort into details, especially the queues for their biggest rides didn't receive much love unlike in Phantasialand.

And this year again at Phantasialand there is an offer when you buy 1 ticket in the time from march to april (i think) you get a second ticket for another visit for free in the season (but its only for yourself you cant give it to another person)

The funniest Moment was the Breakdown on Winjas. We stopped in a Block section,my GP friends were freaking out like ohh the other train will Hit us! Then we went on and stopped in the next Block again. It was so funny. When I rode Mystery Castle,there were no scare actors in the Line. Well,I love this place, and you will too. The Front entrance you went trough is the ugliest of the 3,there is also one in Mystery and one in Chinatown.

    The Problem with Temple of the Night Hawk is that the building it is in is also Home to the Parks evening Dinner Show "Fantissima", and as long as that doesn't get a new location (which could happen in Rookburgh, but I somehow doubt that) they won't do much with that building. And as rumors suggest simply removing the current coaster from it is supposedly also an Issue because the coasters support structure is, as the rumors say anyway, part of the buildings supporting structure. Known fact however is that if they ever tear down the building entire a new building can't be as high as the current one because of complaints from people living nearby. A new Ride there would have to either somehow fit in the current building, go very deep or doesn't require much height anyway.
    Temple of the Night Hawk feels so long because it is actually the longest Indoor Coaster in the World. The Original Space Theme of the Ride was amazing.

    • @UP87

      @michaelmartini3884 4 года назад +5

      As it is in a rather urbanized Area, you can generally enter from nearly any direction, so instead of one big main entrance, you have entrances for every themed Region, with the Alt Berlin entrance just being the oldest one and the one with the best Public Transport Connections instead of Parking.

    Just came across this and it reminded me of my visit about 6/7 years ago (maybe?) :) Such a great park, and I totally agree about the themeing. There are so many parks with great rides that I just refer to as "Coasters in a carpark" because this place spoiled me so hard!

  • @Cindy_Dakin_
    @Cindy_Dakin_ 4 года назад +3

    The city in the main entrance is old Berlin, so it's also a theme. When I was a kid there was smaller version of the Brandenburger Tor, but they changed SO much in the Berlin part.

    It's nice to hear and watch your review. I'm from germany and I do visit the park as often as I can (also visit a lot of other parks in europe). You are completely right, the main entrance is not worth a photo or something like that. It's more worth to go to the themed areas like Deep In Africa or Klugheim. I guess the Temple of the nighthawk is still the longest dark coaster in the world, but it is very old (over 30y old) and do not fit to the rest of the park. You definitely missed the splash boot ride (River Quest). It is so much fun, well themed and you will get very wet ;) Hope you enjoyed your stay in germany.

    I just checked on some childhood memories coming across your vid and I really have to second almost all of your given commentaries on Phantasialand. It is one of the most dense themed parks out there in the world, though I must admit that I haven't been in theme parks over in the US or AUS. But I really can't think of any other theme park which might top Phantasialand. And I have been to lots around in Europe. Because they done everything so damn well! As you stated: the limitation in space made the inventors of Phantasialand extraordinarily creative that it's mind blowing at some point. E.g. it's the only theme park I have been so far, giving me the impression I am walking through in full environmental... can't describe it with other words. I mean, the park is not only left or right of you. NO! It's everywhere! It's below you! It's above you! They even *damn* stacked some of those attractions and stapled them above each other, because they just hadn't the space to set those apart from each other! That makes the experience so intense. And because they couldn't go for record breaking rides they had to pull it off with the artworks all over the place, granted that at some structure's time's nagging obviously. But if you don't eagle-eye for that, you will hardly recognize!
    Just few additions: Next time you go to the Phantasialand skipping River Quest, go kill yourself! ^_^ Nah, just kidding! But believe me, boy: that rapid river raft has the coolest drops. They had to built it virtually vertical (again: thanks to limitations)! Already the starting lift up onto 22mtrs is way cooler than most others. And then it brings you down from 22 to 0 within only 250m². It just goes *splash* all the time! Did I sound like a fan-boy? Well, I suppose I am! The truth about The Temple of the Night Hawk. It started as the world longest space themed indoor-coaster, and it was the coolest thing! The effects and laser shooting top notched. Then it was turned into something... worse. As much I love what they did with Wuze Town, I hate what they did to Space Center because of Wuze Town!

    Chiapas holds a special place for me. I went to Phantasialand with some friends during the spring break, and we loved Chiapas. After spring break, one of our teachers anounced that we'd be going there as a school trip in a few weeks. When we were there, there were barely any queues. I took a few decks of cards with me to make a funny picture and a friend brought some tape. We went on Chiapas to see where the picture was taken (the queue was literally empty) and afterwards, we taped some Uno cards to our hands and held them during the attraction. The picture was great and the people working there loved it.

    I visit this park since 2002 (almost) every year 1-2 times and the development it made is crazy. Sure, I miss quite a few of the old rides, but that's propably due to nostalgia. The "new" areas are just phenomenal and until today I enjoy every visit, and I'm also kind of sad every time when I have to leave again. Visiting PHL is like feeling like a child again.

    I agree completely with your review. I have been visiting Phantasialand for more than 30 years. Hard to imagine that the Temple of the Night Hawk was supposed to be a spectacular coaster back when it opened. You had to wait in line for at least an hour. Now 1 minute max. Just goes to see how we have improved on coasters since then... It sadly pales in the face of all the other coasters, especially Taron, which is hands down my favorite coaster of the moment (probably will be surpassed by Untamed when it opens).

  • @the-iron-queen
    @the-iron-queen 5 лет назад

    It's pretty cool watching this review as someone for whom Phantasialand is pretty much their homepark. The thing with Temple of the Nighthawk (and Geisterrikscha in the China area) is that those two are current record keepers and they both are in areas that are hard to use differently. Temple of the Nighthawk also houses the Hollywood Tour in the same building and even if you wouldn't get that impression, it's a pretty small space for a rollercoaster. A friend of mine once rode the Temple when the lights were on for some reason and she said it's actually such a tight-knit knot of tracks that it can freak you out when you are seeing it while on it. I actually really loved it back in the days when it was still space themed and wonder why they don't properly re-theme it if they won't tear it down.
    I wish the park wasn't as restricted in its size but the town in which it is located is very vocal on keeping the park from spreading and from what I know that is not going to change. I could imagine that the height of the buildings is also connected to that.
