Belantis Review, East Germany Theme Park | 3/4 Well-Themed, 1/4 WTF

[@coasterchill298]

One of the cool things from this park is that the layout shape ressembles both Europe and and the eastern coast of North and South America. Each themed area is also located around the corresponding real location.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Very cool!

[@VillasByrne]

Okay that terrible music choices didnt happen on my visit back in 2018! I agree of this review overall. Great potentiel, but have some flaws. But I also overall enjoyed it. Do you prefer this park or Plohn?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Plohn by a slim margin, but Belantis has more potential if they fix that 1/4.

[@AirtimeProductions]

I still can’t get over how weird the log flume is but it looks so cool at the same time!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's so neat.

[@amusementnow4416]

Fun video! Looks like something I'd expect from Parques Ruenidos

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have mixed thoughts on them as a company.

[@StamfordBridge]

The animatronic birds in the station are a cute touch, but the poop seems like unnecessary realism.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Lol

[@FanThemePark]

As I was watching this my wife was in the same room and we both started cracking up at the Disney music not matching with the themed areas of the park bit. That is hilarious! 🤣

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's hilarious until you're there and want to rip your hair out.

[@chargedonpc9989]

Europa park and Phantasialand look like some of the best parks in the world, but this one looks just decent. This park does seem pretty unusual.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@thecoasterflood]

9:12 Honestly, when I think about it, how on earth would you be able to ride Huracanito since A, you would have to somehow fit into the tiny trains, and B, be able to close the lap bar to a locked position. In my eyes, Adults wouldn’t be able to ride a Gerstlauer Kiddy Racer either way.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm sure I'd try if it was allowed.

[@DaanBruins]

Belantis: Huracan with too few trains. Also Belantis: Fluch des Pharao with too many boats. OH COME ON GET IT TOGETHER BELANTIS.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Lots of boats/cars are only good if your operations are fast enough to support it.

[@jaydenchrist6152]

Wish we had more water rides like this.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@janschmidt7099]

Belantis has a kind of Dark Ride: "Verlies des Grauens". It is a well themed hounted house located in the Castle of Drachenritt. Unfortunately due to Covid-restrictions the hounted house is closed since 2020.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I was about to say how did I miss that ride, but that makes sense if it has been closed. I'll have to look up a POV.

[@janschmidt7099]

@@CanobieCoaster It is really a very well themed ride with nice animatronics and good music choice. Definately the best themed ride in Belantis. BTW: the "ugly" and "unfinished" looking pathway between Huracan and the Huss frisbee is a result of a fast needed connection between both areas for a big event some years ago. The area is planned to be themed for the 20th birthday of the Park in 2023 (with new attractions located at this area).

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

That’s your best video title ever. The 1/4th WTF got me laughing

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's true when you see some of this stuff.

[@sivoe]

I was there this fall and got exactly 90 flips on Götterflug (more than double my old record from Bayern Park) 🤘😜 Btw I absolutely loved the Zero-G Roll on Huracan 👍

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice! I love flipping those rides.

[@DaanBruins]

9:19 TRUE, kiddie rides scattered is way better than one kids area.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's good for families who want to move through the park together.

[@ltsdesign3d]

My homepark... They just need to invest some money!!! So much potential 🥴

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree!

[@StamfordBridge]

Did you or your parents grow up in East Germany?

[@ltsdesign3d]

@@StamfordBridge yep, my parents did and so do i

[@marzok9632]

My home park....it's a shame, that they don't built any coaster (or water ride) in the last 7(!) years. So i dont visited it for a long time and will not in the future, too (if they dont want to invest in the this "potential gem") Everybody is talking about that massive potential every single year, but no other german amusement park get that less new attractions. --> The near *Freizeitpark Plohn* is so much better and even cheaper.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I wish this park got more investments. The quantity is their issue.

[@marzok9632]

@@CanobieCoaster Yes....i was there many times (even before Huracan) from the beginning with much less attractions. But now they only get more and more expensive, while nothing is built.....not even smaller things. :/ Freizeitpark Plohn is the exact opposite of it. They are much smaller but do invest in bigger attractions in shorter intervals and even with better theming. So it cant be any finiancial issue....Parques Reunidos is simply to stingy or "lazy" for investing.

[@mitchellries256]

Where would this park rank in your list of all the Parques Renuidos locations you've been to?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Towards the middle.

[@shrtbred787]

This looks like something a beginner would make in planet coaster 1 with the horendous pathing system in that games, the awkward paths in this park, and the wierd unthemed sections that the player was too lazy to do

[@CanobieCoaster]

Good comparison!

[@itsseriousarc8429]

I love the title lol

[@CanobieCoaster]

You're welcome.

[@kylerzepa4048]

How many European countries have you been to to ride roller coasters

[@CanobieCoaster]

Quite a few

[@StamfordBridge]

I hoped to get this park in on the last day of my last Euro trip - couldn’t squeeze it in after Plohn. Oh, well - some day, hopefully.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Maybe by then they'll have fixed the issues.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I wonder why the newer Huss Condors don’t have the giant bird on top anymore

[@CanobieCoaster]

Maybe it's the park's choice?

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

@@CanobieCoaster but it’s a lot of them though

[@maxhagenauer24]

I can see myself enjoying this place, I would really only come for Belantis but still its not a terrible lineup for its size, could defiantly do better though.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The park has some good rides and theming. There are just some obvious holes.

[@oofintic5734]

When i saw East Germany I was like: Is it back???

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh lol!

[@funfairs__uk]

@@CanobieCoaster yeah it's eastern Germany East Germany hasn't existed for about 30 od years

[@christiaanjans6807]

Nice video, was onride filming alowed?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I reached out to the park in advance and got special permission to film on 3 rides (Fluch des Pharao, Huracan, and Drachenritt).

[@christiaanjans6807]

@@CanobieCoaster aha thanks 😁

[@jonny-b4954]

Maybe they have issues with emergency exits in those indoor queue lines?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh maybe. I wish they put more emergency exits if that's the reason.

[@phantomias0075]

There is no air conditioning inside, so they are not allowed to have that many people inside
