Themepark Roadtrip 2020 - Part 2

Another Day At Phantasialand
 
Monday - October 12th 2020
 
The park didn't open before 10:00am so we had plenty of time for breakfast. Due to the current situation with corona we had to book a certain time frame. After breakfast we headed to the park and checked out the areas we hadn't seen yesterday. Since the park just opened, not all attractions were open yet. We got in line for Winja's Fear & Winja's Force, a common wild mouse coaster. Then we just walked around the park to check out the shops to get some souvenirs. Unfortunately Phantasialand didn't offer a lot of merchandise and so we only bought a fridge magnet. With our shopping done, we decided to give Mouse Au Chocolat a try, which can be compared with Disney's Toy Story Mania, and to our surprise the ride was quite good.

After Mouse Au Chocolat we got a coffee to go and then we decided to get in line for Mystery Castle, a free fall tower. The ride was spooky, but also a lot of fun. Since it was already noon, we got hungry and searched for vegan options for lunch. We came across a burger restaurant and were happy to see a vegan falafel burger on offer. The burger was really good and so it was no suprise that this wasn't our last visit here. After lunch we walked to Rookbugh to see if the new land was open. It was open, but unfortunately the line for the flying coaster was quite long. Instead of queuing for an hour, we had a beer. Later the line was much shorter and so we took a flight over Rookburgh. Since it started to rain a little bit, Claudia and I ordered coffee and cake at the coffee house next door. It didn't look like the rain was going to stop, we walked back to the hotel to relax a bit.

After our hotel break the weather got better again and the sun came out. So back at the park we did Colorado Adventure, a mine train rollercoaster, which was officially opened by Michael Jackson many years ago. Since the sun was shining, we decided to get a beer, watch people and enjoy the lovely weather. Then it was time for more rides. First we headed to Taron, our favourite traditional rollercoaster at Phantasialand. Next was a dark ride like Disney's Phantom Manor, but based on Chinese Mythology. It was okay, but there's no need to ride it more than once. Back in Africa we rode the Black Mamba coaster before we had to get dinner. Like yesterday we got Jambalaya at the African restaurant. The park was about to close soon and on the way out we got churros for dessert. The rest of the evening we spent at the hotel bar and watching tv in our room.
