Top 15 Rides at Phantasialand

Phantasialand is one of the world's best theme parks. The way this park combines immersive theming with world-class attractions is breathtaking. The park features 7 roller coasters and several exciting non-coasters, so in this video, I rank the top 15 best rides and attractions at this German park.

First. Phantasialand looks to be simply the best theme park ever devised. I love Disney but nothing beats a wholly unique story & theme.

[@thomasxl200]

And one that actually provides a thrilling ride experience!

[@arturobianco848]

I agree its me favorite park

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's one of the best.

[@kevrichmond9981]

I'd love to go here and efteling just for the theming

[@wiljantoonen3324]

Indeed I think Efteling and Phantasialand are great in theming.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

This park looks like the Islands of Adventure of Europe. It has a great mix of roller coasters, themed lands, water rides, and dark rides. It looks incredible. I think if I could only go to one park in Europe, it would be my choice.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree those 2 parks have a lot of similarities.

[@mjl11]

Yeah it's like islands but without IP's theming and instead folklore theming.

[@user-jz7ny1qc6j]

Looks way better than IOA honestly

[@StamfordBridge]

I had to wait an hour for River Quest, but I had no clue what I was in for. I had no idea a rapids/rafting ride could be that intense. World’s best rafting ride and the world’s best log ride in the same park!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I think the big tipoff about River Quest is how high its height restriction is.

[@StamfordBridge]

@@CanobieCoaster True enough. But before this ride, I had no idea that rapid rides could have drops like that. Really stunned me.

[@maxhagenauer24]

The first launched flying coaster, a mid to top tier B&M Invert, a rock work moster Intamin Blitz, and one of the best drop towers of all time, what a fantastic collection this place has to offer. I would come here if they only had 1 of those things but they got it all. For a smaller park they went all out on theming more than 90% of other parks do. A ride lineup that you cannot get anywhere else all that have either really good terain interaction or great theming. I think Black Mamba looks like the best here but there is nothing to hate here.

[@Puffa_]

Black Mamba looks like a top tier B&M invert imo

[@CanobieCoaster]

Since they have limited land, they go all out on their additions.

[@olafvanrijnsbergen1177]

The drop tower is just mid tier

[@kevinwijnans7675]

I love This park . ill go at least once a year. F.L.Y is amazing an taron is worldclass. I hope to ride more BMN inverts but black mamba is great. ^^

[@leophyte9663]

I hate drops towers, but this one just feels different. The fact that it's in complete darkness most of the time, and that you are launched all the way to the top, are probably why I just love this ride. It's 65 meters high, but it feels like so much more

[@CanobieCoaster]

Lucky!

[@BladeStorm4497]

In my opinion, Phantasialand profits of not being limited to disney movies in theming for example. They can tell their own stories, immerse you in their own worlds and make their own special music.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Makes sense!

[@CrazyDiamnd76]

This place looks amazing! The best of Disney, Universdal and Seaworld parks all rolled into one. This just became my number one I gotta get there park, outside the US. Great video, it completely sold me. Amazing collection of rides, and the theming, is freakin incredible.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The blending of theming and thrills is special.

[@jemilambi]

Chiapas waiting queue is ( relatively ) extreme short. The view during the final drop is stunning. Just for that ride, you won't regret your ticket. Taron's multiplication ( thematisation x sensation ) is on another level. Even the final isn't just some basic braking. Go!

[@CanobieCoaster]

So many great rides here!

[@ThomasHDBass]

Another thing that might be interesting: I have some issue with my lower back due to my office job. And while I probably should not get on coasters at all (at least according to the warning signs displayed at most coasters), I still can't resist. But there are significant differences to how much the rollers coasters affect my back (not including other rides here, as I'm mostly into roller coasters). In Phantasialand, by far the most back-friendly coaster is F.L.Y., as long as the restraints are not too loose. The only time I noticed my back being not too happy about a ride on FLY was when I was not tucked in tightly, and hang in the restraints with a bent back. But overall, it's easily the most back-friendly coaster I have been on. The next on the list would be Black Mamba. While the ride is not super-smooth like a brand nwe coaster, it does not hit me in the back like some other rides, and rather than my back I have to watch my ears being hit by the shoulder restraints. Raik is not much of a problem for the back as well, but possibly for me because the ride is so short. Taron has good seats, and a smooth track without real bumps, but the sometimes violent ejector airtime moments make your whole body work - so I can't go on it too often. Winjas Fear/Force are mostly fine, but have a few bumps that can hurt. Colorado Adventure is a fantastic Mine Train - but it has rough spots and hits you in the back multiple times, so I would not recommend it with back issues.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's fair the secure restraints on FLY help a bad back.

[@BubblesBear17]

It's super awesome to hear how many rollercoasters in Phantasialand come from Vekoma. My boyfriend works there and he did also work on the F.L.Y. Because of it's opening and him working at Vekoma, we got free tickets to Phantasialand last year and it was absolutely awesome. Also, the Colorado Advernture is also called the Michael Jackson Thrill ride. Fun fact: Michael Jackson actually had some input in the creation of that rollercoaster and was one of the first to go on it when it first opened in 1996.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's really cool!

[@BubblesBear17]

@@CanobieCoaster it is! I've heard him talk about some fun things man. Both about past projects and current projects. And my boyfriend doesn't think it's all a big deal (for him all he sees is a bunch of metal that needs to be welded), but it's so cool when you hear him say "Hey I recognize this part. I worked on these seats." as you sit down in the rollercoaster. I'm like, not cool? What are you talking about?🤣🤣

[@AlpenStein]

I was yesterday in Phantasialand and he did a really great job in FLY.

[@BubblesBear17]

@@AlpenStein Haha thanks. They really did an awesome job. He mostly worked on some connections with the seats. The track he said was done by another section of the company. It's cool, regardless though

[@joswonderland]

This is, together with efteling, my favourite park in the world. Its the park I grew up with. Colorado adventure was my very first rollercoaster, when my dad put my on it when I was way too small😅 (now im a huge coaster enthusiast). My family and I have been visiting it multiple times every year, and I still can't get over how incredible and immersive all the rides are. Since my sister can't Walk very long distances, this park is perfect for us and I look forward to visiting it every time. Great video!!!

Nice one. Phantasialand truly has some of the best rides in the world. Probably the best coaster 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. No to mention the new F.L.Y. They used every bit of space they have in the best way. I was impressed with your pronounciation of Geister Rikscha, that was on point!

[@willt6970]

This is a bucket-list park for me and one that I'm not too bummed I missed when I was in Europe, since most of their best rides seem to have been added after I was there (newest would have been Chiapas and in October I wouldn't have wanted to ride that or River Quest anyway). Nothing beats a themed drop tower, and F.L.Y. and Taron look incredible and extremely re-rideable.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Their newer rides have elevated the bar for sure.

If you're looking for something for the whole family for several days I can also only highly recommend Europapark! You have great themed hotels with superb service and friendliest of staff and the park as well is just great and has everything to offer for all ages, from toddlers up to grown-ups. You could do most things in one or two days, but it won't become boring if you're staying a whole week (with staying at least 4 days, you should get a year pass). I've grown up with Phantasialand and have always loved it and am so much looking to going back soon after several years, but for a family I'd always suggest Europapark.

Crazy bats is a VR ride with a unique and cute VR experience where you follow three cartoon bats that are trying to get out of a crazy castle with their female bat friend they need to rescue.

Hey Canobie Coaster! I'm going here next week and some questions: 1) Do they allow you to keep your backpacks/phones at the queue lines and do they have bins at the rides? I'd like to take videos of the rides while in the queues 2) Are there any coasters that allow recording on the ride? 3) How are the lines on the weekdays? Say a Thursday

[@CanobieCoaster]

No recording is allowed onride. FLY has mandatory free lockers for everything at the end of the queue. All other rides let you keep things in your pockets. I'm not sure on the bags though since I never carry one. I have never visited this early in the season, so I'd check queue-times.com for historical wait time data.

[@ElShailen]

You can take your bags with you to most attractions as long as they are not too big. At Fly, as already mentioned, there are extra lockers where you have to put all loose objects in. You also go through a metal detector after the locker. It's because there are no safety nets under the rails so as not to disturb the overall picture, so you shouldn't take anything with you. At Taron and Black Mamba there are extra compartments in the station where you can put your bags. If necessary, there are several stations with lockers in the park, e.g. at the entrance, under Colorado Adventure where you go to the "Jump" show and to the right before you get to the Winjas roller coasters. But apart from drinking, maybe a pair of fresh socks after Riverquest, you really don't need to take anything with you. The prices for food in the park are okay, it is quite tasty and there is a variety to suit each park area. It is better not to try to record on the attractions, Phantasialand is a little special at this point. They don't really like that. Simply because of the safety, which has been rated significantly higher since the fire in 2001. As for the waiting times on weekdays, it depends on whether there are holidays in the surrounding federal states. And whether it is in the high season or in the low season. If you don't go in midsummer, but rather in the direction of autumn or spring, the waiting times are relatively humane. It can then happen that you can simply go through it, maybe wait 10 to 25 minutes. In the season, when the weather is good, the times can sometimes triple or quadruple in terms of waiting, or even longer at the top attractions such as Taron and Fly. Otherwise, it's a bit of a gamble as the park is one of the most popular destinations in Germany, the top 2 of amusement parks here and not the largest in terms of area.

[@jeromebastin492]

It's the best theme park in Europe for sure

[@CanobieCoaster]

For me, it is.

[@throughthewindowpane]

I have been here two times and will go there again in a few weeks. I agree with your ranking. Taron is one of my favourite coasters, even though it doesn’t have inversions. I have not been in FLY, so I am really looking forward to that, because you think it’s better than Taron. Didn’t Crazy Bats have the VR when you went there. That makes the ride really fun!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Such a stacked park.

[@avocado3575]

I love this theme park i went on so many rides it felt like disneyland its so great my favorite is fly

[@CanobieCoaster]

The theming combined with thrills is special.

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

I'm visiting for the first time this Summer. I'll be there in early July and only for one day, so I expect time to be limited. Do you have any tips for maximizing my experience and getting on as many rides as possible?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I talk about how to tour the park in my review. I would start with F.L.Y. since it tends to open 1 hour before the other major rides. Then I would invest in Quick Pass to help with the other big rides since you only have 1 day.

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

@@CanobieCoaster Thank you!

I’ve been there soooo many times. It’s one of the best themed parks I know.

also taron is my favorite its so fast and as someone who loves dnd it feels like a midevil place its so great

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a great ride.

[@StefanGraz]

I was at Phantasialand last week. FLY was great at night in the front row. It's really like flying over Rookburgh. However, I peronally liked Taron more.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I wish I could have gotten some night rides.

[@ThomasHDBass]

Crazy Bats is normally a VR coaster, and by far the best VR coaster I have ever been on. Only due to corona, it is currently just the dark ride the coaster has been before... but wait, until we are out of pandemic mode again. Then it will be for a few years (until the other VR coasters have picked up) a world class attraction.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm not a fan of VR on coasters.

[@ThomasHDBass]

@@CanobieCoaster I can appreciate your view, and I know some people who just can't ride VR coasters without getting sick. But compared to the likes of Alpen-Express or Valerian in Europa-Park, it's really a different dimension, you can't even compare it. So, unless you are among those poor guys who really can't ride VR coasters, I'd recommend to have a try some time in the future.

[@clubstep8244]

@@CanobieCoaster It was my first and only VR Coaster and it was pretty cool imo Sadly i have ridden it only once, and with holidaytour being closed (which is directly under it) i Think this will be the next one that goes to make space for a new attraction

@@clubstep8244 VR is back right now for the winter season. I am not a big VR fan on coasters, but on this one it is ok for me, as you are in the dark anyway.

[@luetty7535]

Actually Crazy Bats ride is one of the oldest rides still in operation in the park along with Colorado Adventure. It used to be called "Temple of the Nighthawk" and featured a laser show accompanying the dark ride. Along the lift hills the old panels are still there they used to project the hawk on. In the very beginning this ride it was Space-themed, the waiting queue and station still resembles that to this day.

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

Is this park’s river rapid’s ride a next gen one, (you know, the infinity falls and Mystic River Falls style)

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a weird Hafema one.

[@samurai5589]

No it's pretty old from 2002 but in the last years it's got some themeing addictions

[@arturobianco848]

When crazy bats has the VR system on its a much better experience and should be higher. Since it was off becasue of covid i completly agree with your assesment. Personally i found fly a bit dissapointing still a incredible nice experience but its about on par with black mamba for me just a little bit under it. I do find the emergence factor great but the coaster was a bit to tame to really make it to the top. I will say that i think its by far the best flying coaster i've ridden and its one of those unique ones so can completly understand it if it is one of youre favorites. For some strange reason i have that with taron and black mamba the entire package just make them better for me then they objectivly should be.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm not a big fan of VR on coasters so I probably wouldn't have tried it on Crazy Bats even if it were offered.

[@joanneaugust1489]

Info: Crazy Bats used to be a themed dark rollercoaster, now it's a VR coaster, meaning you actually see a film during the ride. You didn't because you went during Covid, when due to hygiene they just left out the masks. It's obviously quite boring without, but with the VR glasses, it's really fun. Also: While the Rookburgh theme is quite neat, Taron is and will always be the best rollercoaster in the world. F.L.Y. cannot possibly beat that, as much fun as it it.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm not a fan of VR coasters so I doubt it would have moved up even if I tried it.

[@MattArn]

This park is like roller coaster tycoon with no budget constraints

[@CanobieCoaster]

Pretty much!

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

How many dark rides are at this park? There is so many. It seems crazy because I’m not used to theme parks having more than 0-1 dark rides.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They have a few conventional dark rides plus indoor coasters.

When are you doing a review for this park?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Before they open for the year.

Der Park ist sehr schön und die Attraktionen sind super. Ich wohne 60 km entfernt und war letzte Woche dar. Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht. Ich fand F.L.Y. und Taron am besten!

F.L.Y. is my favorite.

Crazy Bats usually runs with VR. This makes it to one of the best attractions in Phantasialand.

[@ChannelMan434]

I didn’t get to ride the water rides because it was too cold, but the rest of this is pretty much exactly how I feel. The only thing is I have trouble deciding whether I like Winja’s or Colorado Adventure better

I much prefer Winjas myself.

fly just felt like hanging for me, they should have added some airtime in this coaster. this is a one time ride for me. but the queue area is amazing

[@CanobieCoaster]

I got plenty of airtime on F.L.Y.

[@BirteK1975]

You forgot to mention that Crazy Bats is a VR ride. You put on these VR glasses and you will watch a kind of movie while riding this coaster. It made me feel really dizzy.

This should be the next park in Europe to get an indoor waterpark. With one coming to Liseberg and how amazing Rulantica is at Europa Park, it would be cool to see what Phantasialand could do if they built one. Maybe they could go with an Atlantian theme if they wanted to.

It may have to be a ways offsite, but I'd love to see what they could do.

Great list! My top 10 ranking would look like this: 1. Taron 2. Fly (although it's really close to Taron) 3. Black Mamba 4. Winja's Fear 5. Winja's Force 6. River Quest 7. Colorado Adventure 8. Talocan 9. Mystery Castle 10. Chiapas Honorable mention, as it's the only other ride I think is worth riding when revisiting Phantasialand: Crazy Bats Every other ride I wouldn't bother with as I think they are not that fun. I don't really like dark rides, especially shooting ones so Maus au Chocolat was really disappointing when I first rode it. Geister Rikscha is really outdated, but if it's really hot outside and Chiapas and River Quest both have a line of 90+ minutes, Geister Rikscha has some cool, fresh air in some places. Feng Ju Palace is a family/children ride, so naturally it's not that entertaining. And last, but not least: since I have pretty big thighs, I don't really fit that well into Raik's trains. Therefore, I would not ride it again. The layout was fine, nothing too special, but since the trains are designed to fit smaller park visitors, I would not ride it again.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree Raik's trains are surprisingly cramped.
