I just learned there are two sections with partially enclosed overbanks......oops.

How will they take that red crane out of there? With another crane?

Well... they simply don't. It's part of the theme now lol.

I think the crane fits exactly under the track when it's down. If it doesn't... then they need a mega crane

^From the looks of it there is a pathway underneath the track which looks big enough for the crane.

Here's some pics I threw on Facebook after my visit on Sunday:

EDIT: Pics broken

Damn this coaster is hot.

Dayum that panorama

Absolutely cannot wait to see this testing!

I'm really digging the black color now.

I assume that this is like a non-looping Black Mamba Mine Train!

Quick update:

Rides around Taron are getting some love!

The made house 'Feng Ju Palace' has been given a darker colour, it now fits in more in the area.



The vertical elevator on river quest is being rethemed. All the rockwork around it is now gone.

BEFORE:



AFTER:



The soundwall is being expanded, probably with more rocks to come.



And finally some more track pics.

Sorry for the double post but there is some evidence that we may get a second coaster!

First, take a look at this unused tunnel at the site.

Here you can even see some possible footers.

Next, some new footers have been spotted at the rapids.

Tobi, who has been rebuilding the entire site in no limits, made a possible layout for a junior boomerang.

Exciting stuff!

[Dirk_Ermen]

Cool! Looks like the rumors for a junior Vekoma Shuttle are become more true by the update.

Another coaster sounds great but I think a small shuttle coaster wouldn't have a capacity which is big enough for Phantasialand.

Considering that this rumored shuttle coaster would be a minor attraction at Phantasialand, I really doubt its low capacity is going to be much of an issue.

[Paradox]

Looks like it will be a relatively short ride anyways, but it's great to see a family coaster being added along with a more thrilling one!

No one would complain if Larson Loop really came there! I rather think that staying with Taron must be cool!

Given their essentially adding two attractions in (plus Taron will draw in far more of the crowds) I think it will have enough capacity. Junior boomerangs are fairly short rides as they aren't hauled up to the top of spike before the return journey and the loading sequence is straight forward.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Fair point. I never considered the time ate up climbing the second spike.

the interaction between the two coasters and the rapids ride will be interesting and exiting!

[Paradox]

I can't wait to see the new soundwall!

Soundwalls instead of using speakers? Wow that's a cool concept!

[gouldy]

I love this park.

[Dirk_Ermen]

Phantasialand has announced both rides officially through Facebook.

Awesome!!

We figured it out before the announcement tho
