We took a trip with KB to visit
Phantasia Land in
Bruhl, Germany, today. Unfortunately, you can't predict European weather at all, so we were a little nervous when the day started out cold and rainy, but we decided to keep with our plan. We were happy we did!
Phantasia Land is a very cool amusement park, located about 2 hours from
Kleine Brogel. It has 5 different lands that are similar to what you'd find at Disney world, but the park is more the size of a small Six Flags. There are three entrances to the park, but we went in at Berlin, the main street of the whole thing. Just inside the gate is a very cool 2 story carousel.
If you head to the right, you'll go into Deep In Africa. This is where you'll find our favorite attraction... Black Mamba. Black Mamba is an extremely fun roller coaster, the kind where you hang underneath it. It only lasts about a minute, but it's a blast!
Here are Russ and Brandon, setting off on their adventure.
Jess, Cat, and George were competing to see who could ride it the most. I think George set the record with 13 rides! (3 were my limit.)
If you stand on the nearby observation bridge, Black Mamba circles over and around you. It's lots of fun to watch!
None of us were crazy enough to get on this ride. It's in Mexico, and it's called
Talocan. It rotates you around on a big wheel, while spinning the middle section where everyone is sitting. Very nauseating, and a tad painful to boot. We were happy to just watch this one.
This is a look back up Berlin's main street toward the entrance. It had started to rain again at this point. *Note that they don't shut down rides here when it rains. Even when there is lightening and thunder involved. (This includes the
metal roller coasters!
Eeeeek!)
This is a crazy pair of indoor roller coasters, centered around a ride that lifts you up and drops you. It's located in Fantasy. The car of the roller coaster spins as you are going down the track. You have two choices of tracks: Fear and Force. Don't ride Fear after eating. I'm just saying.
Mystery Castle is located in...Mystery, of course. It's similar to the Tower of Terror in Disney World. Most of us passed on this one, but Russ just had to ride it. Better him than me.
The sun soon came out again, and it was a beautiful day. Off to explore more sections of the park! This is China Town, of course.
We had a really fun day at the park,
and soon it was time to head back home. Can you see the name of the roller coaster there? Yep. It's called the Michael Jackson Thriller Ride. I'm not sure what that has to do with Mexico (that's where the ride is located), but such is life. It looked like more of a runaway mine train sort of ride. If you ever find yourself in the vicinity of
Bruhl, Germany, and are looking for a fun way to spend the day, then check out
Phantasia Land! Be sure to ride Black Mamba. She's a blast!
