Oh my... That's insane. Looks unreal. Amazing, just amazing...
Thanks for posting it here Austin.

Those quick transitions look so good.

wow, did they mount the camera under the trains?

 

the 2nd half definitely makes up for the first half being a bit slow (except for those stupid trims on the airtime hills!) but I do know that usually test runs look slower compared to when it actually runs

Went to Phantasialand yesterday. I decided to do Klugheim in the afternoon because I expect everyone to go there when the park opens. I was kinda right but when I finally got to queue Taron it broke down... It was down for almost 2,5 hours... Lucky me, they could reopen it around 18h30 so I got to ride him twice.

 

For me it's easily the best coaster in Europe (though Kolmarden's Wildifre also seems a contender for that title but haven't done him yet) and in my list he becomes my number 3 (after Outlaw Run & Top Thrill Dragster, though it was a hard choice between 2 or 3  ). Taron is just amazing, it has everything a good coaster should have: smooth, powerful, fast, ejector airtime, great cornering, two amazing launches, great lap bars, capacity... You name it. 

 

Cocoa, believe me, Taron is not slow on any part of the track  

How long are the waiting lines at Phantasialand at the moment?

There's no app or site that show them outside of the videoscreens at the park self.

Holy fuck that Taron coaster looks unreal. At first I was like "hm this nice, cool theming" and then that second launch comes up and it's like "oh another launch, shame they're gonna slow it do--WAIT holy shit." Looks awesome.

I mean, if I would go to Phantasialand next week, how long would I probably have to wait for the bigger rides?

Depends on which day I guess.

Next week, that regio of Germany is on holiday. So the queues will probably be a lot longer than I experienced. I don't know how you have to handle it, sure almost everyone runs to Taron when the park opens. You can make sure you're early at the gates so you can run too, when you're a bit late I think the queue will be very long.

 

I do recommand doing Klugheim in the afternoon but Taron still has some technical problems now and then, and it would be a disaster if you can't do it anymore because you waited until the afternoon. There is a dilemma for you...

 

But the queue is not slow, the queue time can be long but you're always moving.

New coaster for Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko in Poland. Vekoma built and called Lech Coaster (despite the video name)

 

Looks pretty damn good. Vekoma stepping up their game recently.

Looks like Vekoma is trying to compete with RMC's T-Rex concept. Good looking layout and pacing. Poland seems to be the go to for cool new Vekoma rides.

That has great speed throughout the course, especially the 2nd half.  I love that element next to the station, although I wish it was constructed a little farther away to let the station breathe and to emphasize that element.  Looks a lot like Lightning Run with inversions.

I went to Phantasialand this weekend and Taron is amazing. Might write a trip report.

Apparantly it's pretty much confirmed that Toverland will get a B&M Wing Coaster in 2018. With a B&M, Toverland would become a serious contender for the park with the best coaster line-up in the Benelux.

Toverland is just <3
