    A bit of history (it's German, so it's got history): Phantasialand was founded in 1967 as a very small "fairy tale park" and after several expansions reached its final size in 1981. Being built much to close to the smal city of Brühl, there is no more space around for further expansions since more than 40 years and everytime they want to build a new ride, they have to demolish an old one. This leads to an ongoing change of the parks layout and it almost feels like the whole park is a slowly moving giant.
    Due to this restrictions, Phantasialand will never become the largest theme park in Germany, but for me it will always be one of the most fascinating ones!

      @@marvinlinnarz5856 AS already said, it is Europa-Park in Rust. From visitors they are on #1 in Germany and #2 in Europe after disneyland in Paris. And from Area it is also the largest in Germany. About the same size as Disney Paris if you count all parts of disney paris.
      But Europa Park also has a significant Advantage. The owners produce roller coasters and it was initially made as a showcase and testing ground for roller coaster concepts.
      Now Europa Park is much more visitor friendly and much more immersive then it used to be. But still, a lot of the attractions are made by the other company of the owners. And is still used as testing ground and showcase area.

    We've seen so many other parks in the world, but it's always a good time to come back to "our" park. Many attractions, that you can't find somewhere else.

    I can only recommend this park. I was there about three times, because I live in the region - not very far away. Since I have problems with balance (disturbed equilibrium organ), most roller coasters and rides are out of the question for me. But the park offers a lot of other attractions and shows, for example acrobatics (Chinese circus) and an ice skating revue. But also otherwise the areas are well themed: Historical Berlin, Central and South America, Asia, Africa, Fantasy (for younger kids) and Mystery.

    This was the time Talocan‘s ride program was not as intense as it was initially. The whole ride was then sent to maintenance and is back to its former intensity today: You get five faster spins twice now and it‘s my „can I still do it?“-ride every time I‘m in the park (I just was on this 2 days ago). 😉
    It‘s the most intense topspin there is (well, there was a 2nd one in the UK, but if I‘m not mistaken, that one is gone now). Any other non-floorless topspin (with two rows facing the same direction) is much less intense in my book. Of course, the whole theming and water-/fire-elements also add to the experience.

    The Talocan is a "Suspended Top Spin" ride from HUSS Park Attractions, a German manufacturer of themepark rides located in Bremen. Before its demise around 2000, HUSS was known as HUSS Maschinenfabrik. They are the ones behind the success of rides such as Top Spin, Frisbee, Take Off, Magic and - most famous of all - the Break Dance. Of the Break Dance alone, about 69 rides were made in 3-4 different versions. The majority still travel the German fairs, including the prototype that premiered in 1985. Some other are located in the Belgium, the Netherlands, France, UK, South Korea and even the USA. To this day, the Break Dance is still one of the most popular rides for the youth as well as a meanwhile somewhat older audience who once were kids when the Break Dance came out. A more extreme yet smaller version of a Top Spin was produced by the Dutch firm KMG called "Discovery". It has arms that can rotate independently and a gondola that can make rolls more easily and more quickly. There's on traveling in Germany called the "NightStyle" which has a great ride cycle with many rolls and a great show as well by the showman Armbrecht.

Other than the name, there is not much relation with Huss Maschinenfabrik that was declared provisional insolvency in 2006.

    I was first in Phantasialand with 6th or 7th school class in 1981-82 and second time with my motorbike and girlfriend 1996 i think. This coaster wasn't build then, but Phantasialand is really great. It's number 2-3 in germany, but no regrets. 2023 now it costs little bit over 60€ or nearly 70$, but i heard in the US it's ugly more expensive and here there is more around the big ones promoted coasters. Have all a nice day!

    Phantasialand beats Disneyland, awesome park, it has like "sub urbs", chinese, Tucan, mexican, western, space, etc, it's dressed up to border of each sub urb.
    the ride "Anaconda" is terrifying, as Americans people there was impressed in their pants, totally amazed by the ride while i was there.
    Like a normal roller coaster you climb a hill and being dropped off, but this one is terror ride for like 50 second, no time to relax and someone died on the ride.
    Talocan is atleast 12 years old.
    they also have a roller coaster in total darkness, at first it was named after known movie, but got changed.
    The China town ghost ride is/was cool in it's time, the mining time rollec coaster than burned down, was 2 roller coaster inside. one was speedy, motorrized by it's own.

    Best part about the park is, that it's not extremely busy and on an overcast day, you have almost no lines, so you can just hop on any coaster and ride it as often as you want.

    I live some 20 kilometres from that theme park. Been there once, back in 1986 I think. The roller coasters were nice but the park as a whole is massively overpriced and, well, you can have more fun elsewhere. Roller-coaster feeling comes from glider flying as well. Hitch a ride in a glider, have more fun for a fraction of the price and evade all the fast food they sell there. 🙃

    Phantasialand Is next to Cologne. I live in Cologne my whole life and went there several times as a kid.
    If you want to explore it for real I can bring you there and show you around if you are in Germany one day. 😉

    If you decide to take a ride, I think you will bring back the food, which you ate 3 days ago 😵‍💫🫢😅
