The design and especially all the details in Phantasialand are absolutely incredible. It's not only the rides which are great, everywhere you look there are sweet, cool or creepy details and scenes, depending to the "land" you're walking through. I enjoy these even more than the rides. Unfortunately it's often very very overcrowded, even in winter, when they have specials with lots of athmospheric lights, hot chocolate and Glühwein.

The real beauty about Phantasialand is that it also has a lot of quieter/slower rides for people who either want to take a breather or can't do the wild ones due to health issues.

I don't like Fly that much, because it's not comfortable and after one ride you're good with it. Taron I can ride multiple times a day.

It is always a good idea to come early to get a parking spot near to an entrace. But it is even possible to get there by train and bus, as Phantasialand has its own shuttle bus from and to the Brühl train station.

Yes, Phantasialand is really more of an uprising theme park. It has identity, definitely, the older rides might be nothing special on the world stage, but it's always great to have some history in the park. But with the couple new rides, it really enters international rankings. Its new coasters and accompanying whole themed areas that come with it rival Europa Park or Disney World. Especially F.L.Y inside Rookburgh is incredibly immersive, you feel thrown back in time and location! With steam clouds everywhere and all the pipes and everything, it's truly amazing what they did there. I just hope, that they will get approved more space, or, which could be another solution, open another park somewhere else with more space. They have definitely proven that they are able to keep up with the theming, and are also offering very incredible coasters and rides with it. I would love to see more of that. (Meanwhile, my homepark Europa Park is stagnating, declining the great concepts of their engineers at Mack Rides, who have proven with coasters in other parks that they can keep track internationally, but Europa Park just refuses to build any great coaster of those in their own park for some reason, too much thrill or something).

I visite Phantasialand since I'm a kid. Live near Cologne, what's very near to Phantasialand. It's beautiful to see the Park growing, chancing and the new roller coaster they've build. It's an adventure for the hole family, especially because you haven't just one theme, they have different areas with roller coasters, food and shows in line with the topics. My personal favorite coaster is the black mamba, but I love also the old coasters like Winja's Fear & Force in Woodstown or the Colorado roller coaster which isn't that fast and haven't crazy Loopings or spins but you've also get this weird feeling in your stomach which makes it perfect for parents who want to ride with there kids (at the earliest from 4yrs). The Colorado roller coaster was one of the first coasters I've ever rode, so I think it's also a childhood memorie. Probably that's the reason why I've always this happy, excited feeling when I see people riding this or standing in line myself 😂 ❤️

Cool that you made a video of Phantasialand. Only the Hollywood Tour does not longer exist. It is currently being demolished by Phantasialand, because it is too old... Like so many other wonderful attractions that no longer exist, such as the Galaxy, 1001 Nights and the Silver Mine. I live nearby and I used to go there every year with my parents.

The Rollercoaster behind "Crazy Bats" is the oldes Coaster in Phantasialand. Opened in 1988, the "Space Center" was Themed in Space, were u drive truth thousand of Stars, Spacestations etc. 2001 the Theme was changed to "Tempel of the Nighthawk". Since 2019 its changed to "Crazy Bats", a VR Dark Coaster. During Covid, VR was canceled, so it was only the Dark Coaster like all the years before. Fun Fact: "Colorado Adventure" (opened in 1996) was called till 2013 "Colorado Adventure - The Micheal Jackson Thrill Ride"

Every school year we have a Phantasialand class trip and I love it been I've been there soooo many times and it's always magical

I love the Geister Riksha... I have fond memories of me and my dad riding it. Everytime I'm there, Geister Riksha is a must. I know they will tear it down, but it will always live in my heart.

On May, 01. 2001, a big Fire destroyed some Coasters. The "Wild West City" Area was deleted until then and the rebuild a new Section.

It’s so funny to see you reacting to Phantasialand in Brühl. I live here. The themes in this park are out of the world. Looks so nice 😁

River Quest has been closed for about a year now. Supposedly a very big problem with the water pumps and allegedly something came up after an inspection. It's sad to see River Quest stand still and without water.

Ah I was gonna recommend this but yaaas! I found you reacting to it atlast!

The last time I went there was on my birthday which... they give free entry for people on their birthday, regardless of age, if they can prove its their birthday (which is easy since all Germans need to carry a personal ID on them at all times anyways). Which I am sure many parks do, but I still think it's cool. Because it's not a discount or anything, it's literally you get to go for free (& if you're into it they give you a small badge that says it's your birthday that you can wear and all the mascot characters etc in the park will know and pay special attention, which I imagine is real fun for kids).

Omg, I remember Mystery Castle. I almost slipped between the guards of the seat because I was so slim as a kid

I really love beeing there. The amount of detail is incredible.

Phantasialand is just sooo good. I went many times in like the school holidays cause i live 6h away. And i love it you can quick go everywhere because its small and the rollercoasters are sooo amazing fast crazy and just the whole atmosphere is amazing

A lot of the theming in Phantasialand is actually functional since the park is build pretty close to residential buildings and they have to make sure that the noise is kept down. The park started out in the 60s as a fairytail land (without coasters) and expanded when it got more and more popular. That's why it is so close to the next residential area. So those huge artificial mountains have a purpose: They need to cancel out the noise since there were a lot of complaints about it.

I will never set foot on that new flying coaster again. The restraints are so loose if you got a bit of female chest, that you almost fall out when it tilts into flying mode. I was busy trying to keep in the seat the whole ride and I tried it twice in different years. Read online that the other alternative is to not be able to breathe... I love rollercoasters in general though. Taron is my favorite.

There is no way you can fall out of those restraints. If there would be a way this could happen the german TÜV would never give an ok for the operation of this coaster.

I completely disagree. FLY is perfectly fine to ride as a female. If you think the restraints are tooo loose just ask the friendly operators to close them a Bit further. I really enjoy flying through Rookburgh in FLY. For me it is by far the best coaster in the Park. And even better were the night Rides at Wintertraum.

@@ruathar9211 yeah well, would you like to have your feet dangling out of the holding contraption? Would you not cling into the seat and just hang loose? I doubt it. Didn't try to find out if I would actually fall out. Hanging in the wrong position is bad enough.

@@dieZera There is no way that your feet can get out of the foot restraints. I tried it more than once and there is no way when they are closed. The ride is for people with a height of 1,30m and up. Even small childrens feet will not slip out. Maybe if you are not wearing shoes, but this is not allowed.

Phantasialand does hold one or two world records as well. Taron for example is a ride with the highest acceleration in the world. I've been there and it truly is awesome

Yes they are going over the fountains! I got to operate that Ride roughly three years and during their Winter seasons the Ride closes for a few Minutes 3 Times a day during night time for a light,music,Water fountain Show! 😁☺️

Hey!

I miss the old Phantasialand of my youth in the 90th. Grand Canyon was the first rollercoaster I´ve ever used. Loved the "Silbermine" and "Wasserrodelbahn". I´ve heard that even in Hollywood Tours my most beloved scene from Hitchcocks "Die Vögel" is missing..... and the "Schwebebahn"......

Last summer some friends from Sweden came over and we enjoyed Phantasialand very much :)

12:00 I love this one, its my favourite coaster of all parks i´ve been

A comment about the "bottom rides": The "Geisterrikscha" is basically a ghost ride which was inspired by the haunted mansion in Disneywold, and the oldest ride which is still in the park (since it replaces old attractions which aren't as popular anymore fairly frequently due to space issues). The Crazy Bats ride was originally part of the "future" part of Phantasialand, back then it was still the Galaxy drive, and actually very cool, because it was a complete dark ride. But then safety regulations basically forced the park to make it less dark (and therefore less good), in additition the ride has a climate probleme (the air in it is so stale that you might want to throw up while still waiting in line). They rethemed it a couple of times since the orginal futuristic part of Phantasialand was replaced by a fantasy theme, hence now it and the Hollywood tours (which is directly behind it in the same building) is now sitting pretty akwardly in the area. One doesn't have to be a genius to guess that those two rides will be the next ones which either have to go or will end up being rethemed completely (unlike the Geisterrickscha, which is still fairly popular, fits in the Asia part of the park and has the advantage of a crazy high capacity). The Colorado Adventure is, well, nice, but I am still nostalgic about the old canyon ride. Sadly that one went up in flames at one point (nobody got hurt), so they replaced it with the water ride. Plus, Taron is actually closer to it in experience than the Colorado Adventure. I am not a big fan of the free fall tower. There are better ones out there. I am pretty sure that Mouse au Chocolate is older than the Toy Story one. Phantasialand used to got a lot of inspiration from Disneyworld, but recently, it has been more the other way around. (Mouse au Chocolate is also one of my favourites, it is beautifully themed and so much fun). Regarding the rides which didn't make the list: The only ones missing are the ones which are for really small kids.

in Germany there is also the theme park called Europa-Park. Its the biggest park and in my opinion the best one.

this video was very nice for me. I was there as a small child (im 21 now) and could recognize some parts of the video. Thank you so much. I need to go there again some day.

I live in near from the Phantasialand and its my favorite park.

I totally love the "Europa Park" but the theming in Phantasialand is so beautiful!

Back when i was little we allways got there in Winter, because there have Christmas theme with snow and lights everywhere! I loved the monorail the most as a kid, sadly it was demolished back in 2006ish

If you find this one next level I tell you it is no comparison to Europa-Park, which is four times bigger. Even bigger and better than Disney in Paris. Short said, it's the No.1 in Europe. I recommend the video of My Merry Messy German Life.

Nah, as an Phantasialand-Ultra, Phantasialand is easily better than Europa-Park. Europa-Park might be bigger, but Phantasialand just feels more immersive with the rides being cooler in my opinion. I might be biased tho haha

Europa Park is great but it has no such great rides like FLY, Taron or Chiapas. Yes it is bigger and has more attractions, but PL is more packed with highlights at every corner. Fun fact besides: The best Mack Rides are not standing in Europa Park. The best rides from Mack are standing in other parks like Dwervelwind in Toverland is way better than Euro-Mir or Helix (Lisberg) and Star Trek (Movie Park) are much better than Blue Fire. So it looks a little bit like a prototype or beta park in my opinion.

Both parks are masterpieces. We should be happy to have so many great parks in Germany.

My fav. ride at Phantasialand was "Galaxy" ... a 3D space ship flight simulator! Been there when it opend in 1994. Never had that kind of an experience ever before - and never after! Sadly they closed it in 2005. I guess it was too expensive?! I don't know for sure.

yooo ryan i would've never expected a basshunter reference. love it

Well i don't know how it looks now but a few years ago the Taron was the fastest roller coaster in the world that accelerates at the beginning and i mean twice in the middle. My sister and I had to ride it two more times because it was so good.

Hi Ryan, cheers from one of your channel´s newbie subscribers! I´ve just taken a right turn that took me to your content. Being a Phantasialand enthusiast for the longest time (I actually moved to Cologne 30 years ago - just to live near the park!), I can absolutley feel Canobie´s take on the park. Though I´ve been to Disneyworld/Universal-Studios/Seaworld/Orlando back in 1996, still/nevertheless/speaking of theming, Phantasialand really has achieved such a well-deserved household name reputation in its own right for immersive experiences they´re managing to provide ever since they opened the park in the late 60s. If you (one of these days) ever manage to hop over to Germany and if you´ll be in dire need of a Phantasialand´s guide, just leave me a note! I´d be glad to show you around. Great work, Ryan!

When he went grazy about the fountains under the wellenflug I knew he would go nuts about the rest of the park xD

I was on river quest. There are signs all along the queue "Attention. You will get very wet."... I barely got a few drops of water... Standarts really decreased. The guys on the other side got wet tho

I worked in Phantasialand, its THE BEST Theme Park i ever been, i dodnt say it bc i worked for them Moth ago, i grow up with it, The music, the rollercoster, the shops. Everything in the park is so pretty and the details are so lovely

Two days a week I drive to my workplace in Bonn ... on my way I pass Phantasialand and shorly after I drove over the A555 (First german Autobahn) all the way to Bonn until I reach our office next to the "Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community" ... now that I have watched your videos about this "attractions" I feel pretty blessed 😊

In the 90 we went ther with School, the rides Today are very Impressive but it was even impressive back 30 Years ago. Space Center was the go-to Ride, Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars themed, the first Ride in complete Darkness. Grand Canyon was completely made out of Wood and a Minecart ride with 2 different runs. Galaxy Center was really impressive, Indoors, built like a Flight Simulator in an Imax Cinema, built into a Wind Tunnel. Phantasialand started as a Themepark made from Fairground Rides wich would be rethemed. This way it has something for all Ages and Moods, bring your Grandparents even as the Park isn´t that Big and has plenty Cafés and Restaurants.

I went to Phantasialand back in September 2019. My best friend and I stayed at the Asian themed hotel there. The hotel was amazing. The beds were comfy and the room was super clean. The staff was lovely as well. My favorite ride was Raik, but Crazy Bats and River Quest were a lot of fun as well. If you ever get to go to Phantasialand I would recommend going to River Quest first thing in the morning. You get to go into the park earlier than the normal visitors if you stay at one of the hotels. That means that you don't have to wait in a very long line if you go there straight away. But you do get drenched on that ride. We had to go back to our room and change into a dry set of clothes after the ride. When I was there they had VR glasses for the Crazy Bats ride. Apparently they showed a nice little movie (or something like that) with bats during the ride. My motion sickness kicked in after not even a minute of wearing those glasses and I had to take them off. I still loved the ride because riding a roller coaster in almost total darkness was a lot of fun for me. I had never done something like that before because before my trip to Phantasialand I had never been on a roller coaster (I was too scared to go one). That trip was all about overcoming my fear of roller coasters and it worked out very well. I really hope I get to go Phantasialand again one day.

i lived near phantasialand, we went there a crapton of times when i was young and also to the movie park in bottrop. Good times.

First time I visited Phantasieland was in 1977 (my 10th birthday). I went every few years until I was in my early 20s. So I haven't been there for 30 years and only know one ride from this video. Since I can't stand rollercoasters I wonder how much other stuff there is for people like me. When I was a child I loved the boat ride around the lake and the ride through the mine in "Western Town". I guess most things I knew don't exist anymore. I wish I kept the brooklets of the park I collected over the years. They would be quite intersting to look at now. Unfortunately I gave them away in the 90s.

The Geister Rikscha is the type of ride you go on if you where standing very long and just want to relax a bit. He is right you basically never have to wait. I go there at least one time when visiting.

I am waiting since ever for my daughter to become old enough! Loved it when I was a kid, 30 years ago already xD

I actually live in the town were Phantasialanf is locatet (Brühl) but I've ever been there once. I don't know why but i got to go there soon i hope

Please the Hansa Park next!!!! It is my Favorit Park in Germany!
