Keep the CapCut watermark in there

lol! That’s awesome😂

[@samwilliams0901]

I probably have less than 10 lifetime coaster credits and don't understand any of the terminology you use, but finding your videos has been a breath of fresh air. KZbin needs more positivity like this.

[@CoasterDash]

I apologize, I should really make my vlogs more friendly to my general public audience, not just roller coaster enthusiasts. I appreciate the support though!

[@Modguy555]

​@@CoasterDashhonestly do a bit of both! As an enthusiast your stuff caters for all and your videos are amazing. Keep it up man! :)

[@samwilliams0901]

@@CoasterDash not at all! I love hearing your enthusiasm for the different manufacturers, trains, mechanisms etc., even though I know absolutely nothing about them. It doesn't take anything away from the joy of the videos.

[@chadsstillalive]

@@samwilliams0901That’s how I (and I’m sure many others) learned about all of it as I became an enthusiast…just watching tons of videos and absorbing it all organically. I wish I could go through that original learning curve again. But yeah, even if you don’t want to learn or anything, Marc’s sheer enthusiasm will carry you through his videos with joy.

[@CoasterDash]

@@samwilliams0901 My hope is that eventually you can pick up on all of it 🤞🏻

[@AntonioG-w7j]

One of my favorite days of our trip. My #1 park in the world! And being there with all of us together just made it even better. That River Quest ride was ludicrous 😅

[@CoasterDash]

I had a blast! So glad you could be there with us ❤️

[@jensbruyneel1192]

Hope you ever get the chance of doing Phantasialand Wintertraum! The park is even more beautiful with the lights and you get to have nightrides on Taron and Fly. Front row night ride on Taron is one of the coolest experiences you will ever have. 🤩👀

[@pumbaandtimon]

I can literally be the coolest experience when you ride it at minus 10 degrees 🥶😁

[@FWDijk]

Great vlog. Now I want to go back there. Taron in the front row is amazing. As is FLY in the front. The hotels are great as well. To walk from your room to Taron in 5 minutes is special.

[@CoasterDash]

@@FWDijk Thank you! It’s a remarkable park, for sure.

[@FWDijk]

@@CoasterDash Will you update your rankings after the trip? Looking forward to that.

[@CoasterDash]

@@FWDijk Yes

[@Lisspeed]

One that that I believe keeps the mystery of F.L.Y. is the fact that no POVs have been released online. Phantasialand has been very adamant about keeping it a secret because they too know how important going in blind is for this coaster. I do think one person managed to release a POV not too long ago which is quite surprising because with the severe security the attraction has going on I'm surprised they even smuggle anything on. I absolutely loved this coaster though and together with Untamed at the Netherlands it's one of my favourite Coasters I've ridden and this comes from someone who is always a bit scared of hanging coasters due to my fear of heights. But this one just made it so unique!

[@Somunro]

Phantasialand is still one of my favourite parks. I’m so glad you all made it! And thank you for posting! This is my favourite content! I love you guys. ❤ All the love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@CoasterDash]

@@Somunro Appreciate it! Cheers 🙌🏻

[@Mobi666]

Also, if you dig a bit deeper into the history of Phantasialand, you should know that the reason that all rides are into the ground (not tall) or enclosed, is because there are peoples houses next to the park on 2 sides, so it's right next to a residential area, and on hte other side of the park is a highway and forrest. So the park has been stuck size wise and they can not expand the land! This and the residents closeby means they have very strict height and noise restrictions... This is why mystery castle is enclosed, to block of the noise. And also there are 2 big noise walls built, 1 next to Taron and 1 next to Fly again to block the noise. As a consequence though this meant for some unique theming and rides as most of the rides run or cross other rides. There is also an issue now with that Wakobato ride... It's the parrt of the park with the small lake which runs next to the residential houses! This is where they could replace the boat ride by something new, but they aren't allowed to do anything with the lake because those residents and environmentalists are against it.

[@shelleyking674]

We were there a month ago, and Wakobato wasn't open. It's a beautiful lake but that whole area seemed a bit dated and underutilised. It's out of step with the rest of the park theming-wise. Amazing park though! Alton Towers has the same height/sound restrictions due to nearby residents, too.

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Phantasialand is definitely a great combination of style, substance, and cohesion, as well as quality over quantity, well deserved of the best theme park in Europe.

[@timahtoo]

Every time i have rode river quest i have got absolutely soaked ,how have you not managed that is crazy to me 😂

Phantasialand holds a special place in my heart. My wife and I were at the park, coming out of F.L.Y. when we received word that our bid on a house got accepted. One of the craziest days in my life

Favourite park for sure! Minimum two days just to take it easy, stroll along the beautiful themed areas, and take multiple rides on their remarkable coaster line up

[@KingJohnson1985]

id suggest even 3 days, or better 4...because when you book for 4 days, you get a 3 day ticket, and the 4th day would be absolutely for free, you just need to pay the Hotel another night.

I don’t consider River Quest as a real Rapid River because it simply doesn’t have rapids, just drops and a whirlpool. Mystery Castle has a short and longer ride cycle, you obviously have the short one. And Black Mamba IS a masterpiece!❤

I like Europa Park a bit more (especially since Voltron opened), but Phantasialand is also a world class park and one of my favourites too. Glad that I live just an hour away

[@CoasterDash]

Germany has so many spectacular theme parks!

[@KingJohnson1985]

weird...Europa PArk has just 2 World Class Coasters, PHL has at least 4 world class coasters, as well as better theming, and you like EP more? Well it seems everyone has his/her own oppinion, though i dont understand this oppinion...if being objective, PHL clearly is the better park

[@matti5372]

@@KingJohnson1985 Theming is a 10/10 in both Parks for me and I like Voltron way better than anything in Phantasialand. Another thing that makes Europa Park better is the pure quantity of very good attractions. They have 14 coasters, so many dark rides and in general way more beautiful themed areas. I do get that Phantasialand has no Chance to expand so its not their fault, but Europa is the better experience cause you have so much to discover. And I need to notice this is the best runned park I've ever been, even better than Phantasialand

[@KingJohnson1985]

@@matti5372 Europa Park has the quantity, Phantasialand the quality As far as Voltron is concerned, i gonna ride this next year in spring, so i dont have an oppinion yet to that coaster. Still i consider it a World Class coaster, however Phantasialand has way more to it in terms of quality of their rides. except Geisterriksha.

[@matti5372]

@@KingJohnson1985 the only thing that Phantasialand does better is how immersive their rides are. However there is no right answer which park is objectively better, cause it all depends on personal preference. I already told you enough arguments why I slightly prefer Europa Park, but I understand everybody who likes Phantasialand more. Both are World class Parks and are among the best worldwide

Edit: It’s still not my top bucket list park though! (In wintertraum it s)

[@EXO_75]

My problem with the park is that the theming is more quantity over quality. I like Europa Park and Tripsdrill more because their rides have a story and a well themed que. My problem is that Phantasialand has no story exept Tartüff and the shooting ride. And they need actual animatronics and a story behind their coasters because it just feels like a beautiful shell with no actual substance.

[@ashlinorrell3490]

I found Taron strange. I rode it 4 times and one of those rides was incredible. The other 3 were meh. I was a bit disappointed with Phantasialand to be honest. I think it's probably because I didn't love any of the coasters. I found the restraints on FLY so uncomfortable that I couldn't enjoy the ride.

[@KingJohnson1985]

once your restraint on FLY is checked, you need to pull the vest forward and keep it pulled forward until the ride starts, then the vest gets locked in place, you then have a bit more room, and it DOESNT feel uncomfortable at all.

So for sure its worth the trip to checkout following parks: Phantasialand, Hansa Park, Tripsdrill, Europa Park, Heide Park, Movie Park, Freizeitpark Plohn, Skyline Park, Holiday Park and maybe even Belantis could be added to that list, even though they lacking a bit in terms of coasters, but its still a nice park, with an interesting Log Flume.
