Kinda Mayan plants...

That translation was pretty good for a computer honestly lol.

Love the themeing. Especially the bases of the supports.

[Coasterkidmwm]

The other family coaster explains the support dodging that seemed to be avoiding nothing lol. Whole area should look awesome when it's done.

^ The family coaster will be at the other side of the Klugheim area so this doesn't explain it. However, the supports which were dodging something are standing on a roof at area where probably the station will be. So maybe it dodges the queue or a pre-show.

I was at the park yesterday but forgot my camera (these pictures were taken with my phone)... Not much new to be seen except for a building:



Also I think I'm going to like this turn through the house :

Raik supports on site and there are rumors that the Journey to Atlantis simulator will be removed.

Another puzzle to put together.

The way Phantasialand is replacing all the rides it only makes sense they will take down Race for Atlantis.

[Coasterkidmwm]

It least it won't go down in a fire.

Raik is going up!

I guess that Raik really fits in with the Middle Age themed buildings!

Raik track in place!

I was a bit worried that Raik was going to open later than Taron but this is going fast!

^ Maybe because Raik is a "Family Shuttle".

[Paradox]

They aren't wasting any time with construction! The reverse spike has gone up and it has drive tires on it which means the return run will be pretty fast as well!

EDIT: Pics broken

^that's interesting- both Ben 10 and Drayton Manor and the soon-to-be-opened Raptor at Paultons park don't have drive tires on their reverse spikes.

Well keep in mind this ride is supposed to be significantly longer than both of those (longest family boomerang) so maybe the train needs the extra speed to make it back into the station. Anyways this is great news as now the return run will be as exciting, maybe even more, than the forwards run!

I guess that the arrival of Raik POV will be (a tad) earlier than that of Taron. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Taron's "tricky" airtime intensity in motion!

Have to wait for the day when that Intamin will come out of our biggest enigma.

Good spot skyscraper.

Yeah, Ben-10 really suffers from not having booster wheels, even from a family / kiddie point of view. Hopefully they make use of the full spike and it's a pretty much full speed return!

[Coasterkidmwm]

Honestly if we didn't know better we could pass it off as a medium ride about to be topped off.

^^thanks!

It looks pretty high even if it would be build on flat ground. But it will go under ground level for a short time. Yay!

My update from today at Phantasialand:

EDIT: Pics Broken


Pictures taken by me.

Oh yeah, I can tell that Taron will be the non-looping Black Mamba! Consecutive twists there!
