Phantasialand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phantasialand is an amusement park in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany that attracts approximately 2 million visitors annually. The park was opened in 1967 by Gottlieb Löffelhardt and Richard Schmidt. Although starting as a family-oriented park, Phantasialand has also added thrill rides, especially during recent years.
Among the park's thrill rides is a themed runaway mine train called "Colorado Adventure", which runs among some mountains in the park's Wild West section. New for the season 2006 is an African-themed B&M inverted roller coaster called Black Mamba. Winja's Fear and Force are two indoor spinning coasters built by Maurer Söhne. The Phantasialand is also home to Mystery Castle, an indoor Ride Trade/Intamin AG Bungee Drop featuring a walk through a haunted castle.
There is also a four-star on-site hotel called Hotel Phantasia, which is Chinese themed and opened in 2004. The hotel's roof tiles were imported from China, and every room door was hand-engraved. The hotel has two restaurants, a bar, a pool with sauna, garden area, spa and its own entrance to the park.
