Phantasialand 2016: Taron and Raik

[Coasterkidmwm]

And now for the chicken and egg debate:

Was Vekoma asked to incorporate Raik around Taron?

Or was Intamin asked to incorporate Taron around Raik?

[mkingy]

I think at concept stage they probably started with Taron and then altered Taron to fit Raik in. Then once proper design began the two worked almost together to ensure they both had viable layouts - with Taron being more important (and therefore getting any 50/50 decisions on changes)

^^ & ^ Great views about "basic" ride concepts!

Woow. Don`t know if this actually will be a real show or just an online fill-up commercial but look wat what they did to Chiapas while they are putting all man power into building Taron and Rak.

When I look at everything they do at Phantasialand I always think "they spare no expense".
It`s like the Jurassic Park of themeparks. Building major unseen rides with lot`s of money. Always trying the best/new unique things against certain borders, literally. Something you don`t experience at other places in that kind of form.

Her is a first fanmade onride of Taron.
To bad it is not the one from Tobi (which is really accurate) But I think his onride will follow very quickly now this one is released.


My impression is that the first part is a bit slow on this onride but the second part is pretty slick. I already get nauseous from disorientation

I just saw that like 5 minutes ago lol, looks really cool but I'm not sure how accurate it'll be.

^^ Spectacular!

v Edit: The actual ride will get more faster? Wow!

It's definitely going to be faster than that. It will be the fastest multi-launch in the world and the launch is rumored to pull like 1.8 g's.

I don't think it will be painful, but that's sure a lot of force for LSM's.

I'm as excited about this ride as anybody, but golly it really only swerves back and forth the entire ride lol.

It is TWISTEE the ride!

Dodonpa pulls 2,7g on acceleration. Far from ouch.

Thanks to Tobi we now know that the lifts of Raik will definitely be enclosed!

Stealth at Thorpe Park must be like 2G acceleration so I'm not sure why you think it'll hurt?

I said this months ago...

It's just a bunch of twists. Looks fun, but it's probably not going to be over-the-top.

^ Well, I have really high hopes for those quick twists, which are neither drawn out nor repetitive!

Where does Tobi get this information?

[Paradox]

This is as beautiful as the glacier is!
