I grew up only going to Phantasie Land thinking that this was the norm for every theme park. Boy was I wrong.

The narrator forgot to mention that Colorado Adventure originally had the subtitle "The Michael Jackson Thrill Ride" and was opened by him

Does anyone else want him to fly there and try out every roller coaster and film it?

We go to Phantasialand every year or so, and what nobody has mentioned yet (or I just have not seen it) is the music. While you're waiting in line, each attraction has its unique music style that always manages to get stuck in my head for days.

The interesting thing about Phantasialand is that this park cannot "grow". If a new big attraction is to be built, an old one has to give way. The park has no way of getting bigger. So everything is densely built up. (Unless you overbuild the parking lots :) )

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.

FYI the large dark indoor coaster got changed. You now take on a VR headset at the start and drive a very themed ride on a flying carpet in VR and together with the actual coaster movement it feels really good

Unfortunately he didnt mention, that you wear a VR headset on the crazy bats coaster

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. The entire family will have their fun when visiting, no matter the age. The biggest highlight here is certainly the 2-story merry-go-round in the "Historic Berlin" section.

I used to be so jealous of the American parks but I now realised that Germany alone is full of wonderful parks particularly Europa park since it has something for everyone. I'm not lying you could spend multiple days and still not see everything

Phantasia Land is also called "The Kingdom of Theming". I worked there for a few days on a construction crane and it was incredible to see the incredibly small footprint of this park combined with the happy faces of the visitors. It is worth a visit once in a while.

This was the only park I went to growing up, there was my first coaster ride. The park is beautiful in terms of design and the newer coasters are no joke, but fun as hell

I think the ride "Crazy Bats" is way better than described. Originally, it was just a ride in the dark, like he said, but now you are wearing VR glasses while riding it. For me, this was my first VR coaster and a confusing incredible experience.

As soon as you walk through the entrance, you enter a complete different world. It probably feels like exploring the rabbit hole. 🙂

"my second vomit of the day" ... ich brech ab 🤣🙃😆

The old Geister Rikscha is really old and I'm glad it's still available. I used to go there and get scared by it 30 years ago. I always loved the part by the end where you drive by a see-through mirror with a colourful ghost in it. It looked like it was sitting with you in the cart. I always made sure to make space for it.

When you like Phantasialand then you'll definitely like the Europa Park in Rust to! It's just as detailed and fun, and has themed areas based on european countries. It even won the award for "best theme park in the world" multiple times in a row!

Ryan check also castles in Germany. There is a video called "The 15 Most Beautiful Castles in Germany" or this video a mix of cities at night, natres and castles "Germany in 8K ULTRA HD - Palaces And Castles with Nature" Thanks

I went to Phantasialand when I was 12 in 1978 it was incredible, it was the first time that I ate a nectarine and had fruits covered in caramel. I still have a photo of us on the log flume. My brother lived in Germany with his family as he was serving in the army

Yesss!! I loved going there as a kid and still do! It's the best!

Edit:
1. Talocan really almost did make me puke.
2. Mystery Castle is scary af, cause there are people standing in there jumpscaring you while you wait.
3. River Quest is insane, it has drying chambers after the ride cause you WILL get completely soaked.
4. The first time I went on Taron I was so damn happy, the medievel fantasy themed Klugheim is awesome on it's own, but there is an insane boost on the track I didn't know about!

When you visit Germany, make sure to visit this place, it's magical and way more colorful than shown in the video! :)
