Colorado Adventure • Phantasialand

Airtimes Layout Discomfort

after my experience on colorado adventure on the front row, i must say, the coaster in general and the airtime and twisting turns are very exhilarating, coming out of the station into the first section is quite the feeling as the airtime i revived made me lift out my seat. My only complaint with this coaster is that in one of the sections, the coaster had thrown me from one side of the carriage to the other, in turn causing my neck to bend a whole 180 degrees. Now this may not seem bad but infact I could not lift my neck up for a solid few seconds and it genuinely felt like I had broken my neck, I am off the ride now and my neck still hurts. Nonetheless I would have given this coaster a better rating if it did not decide to cause spinal damage.

Fun Layout Duration Discomfort

This is a long Mine Train with three lift hills and several ejectors, which you wouldn't expect. The seats especially in the back are not the most comfortable, but that is more or less all I have to complain about the ride. The long and fast paced layout with a surprising dark section has all you can expect from a family mine train. For sure, its not the most thrilling ride, but it you take it for what a coaster like this stands, you will be positive surprised. Backrows are a bit more intense on the drops after the lifthills, but you can ride this at every single position with a lot of fun.

Capacity Launch Fun

Nice, long, well themed Celina mine train with some very surprising and unexpected twists and turns. No seat devider so you will be tossed around. It has some nice laterals in some parts and the theming is outstanding as is expected of Phantasialand. Great family coaster, have been riding it for over 25 years now and I still like it.

Theming Fun Layout Discomfort

By far the best family coaster!

Theming Fun Intensity

One of the first “big” coasters I went on as a kid, still one of the best mine trains out there to this day

Capacity Fun Duration Dead spots

Best Family Coaster I have ridden so far. Unfortunately i never got the backrow (no free-seating) so there weren't any negative forces for me. Some sections felt pointless, but the coaster also has some quite tight transitions (for a family coaster) which gave some surprising latterals. It's also a very long and great themed ride.

Capacity Disappointing!

Rode it once in December 2021 and I could barely remember anything about it so that really says something about how much Colorado Adventure impressed me. Then I rode it again a few times in 2022 and I'm still not impressed. It is pretty smooth and the section in the dark is really good, but the rest of the layout just doesn't do it for me. It's not bad or anything, it just feels a bit basic. I'd much rather ride Taron or F.L.Y. instead.

Airtimes Capacity Duration Discomfort

What a quirky ride, filled with lots of airtime.

Overall this is a great mine train but comes with some cons, the seats are oddly uncomfortable and not a lot of back rest for the taller people! I feel the drops and dark sections are very unexpected as well but I suppose it does make for a great experience. The ride is ok and it definitely themes quite well but as mentioned, the seats are EXTREMELY uncomfortable especially with how many jolts and bumps there are on this ride not to mention the metal bar sat close to body on your lap..

Fun Theming

It's a long, fun mine train, and the dark section is the highlight. Theming doesn't meet Phantasialand's standards, the queue and station are poorly done and the coaster itself doesn't have as much rockwork I'd like; it's quite evident that this is a pretty old ride for Phantasialand. The trains aren't the most comfortable ones, with those too ample seats and lap bars, which, together with the jolty transitions, make for a bit uncomfortable ride. Nothing too bad, but it's more enjoyable if you hold on to the bar.

Capacity Fun Intensity Discomfort

This ride was so much better than expected. Typically mine trains are fun, bit this one was on another level. The dark indoor section is brilliant!!! Think after FLY and Taron my favourite of the park!

Airtimes Fun Duration Discomfort

I'll knock my con out of the way first, this is not a comfortable ride. The seats are very hard, and they feel extremely small, there's very little support for your back particularly if you're taller like myself. I found myself not enjoying the ride as much as I could've done because of this. However, regardless, this is a hell of a good mine train. The length is crazy, it feels like it's going on forever. A few of the drops and hills give genuine airtime, not crazy but still pretty forceful. Some of the helixes and turns are pretty snappy too, for what is the parks main family coaster. There's no doubt that layout wise, it's one of the best family coasters going. Impressive ride, I just wish it was a bit more comfortable so i would want to do rerides!

Capacity Nice surprise! Fun Dead spots

The surprise coaster of the park. I typically hate mine train family coasters but this one was wild. The middle third is completely in the dark and it’s awesome. Back car/Row is best

Fun Duration Discomfort

We rode this in the front, which wouldn't have been my choice, I would have liked to give it a go in the back ! But being in the front meant we were really waiting over the drops for the rest of the train and then got pushed over.. it meant for a weird type of airtime or at least out of seat time.. pushed up against the restraint wasn't very comfortable but was quite funny. Length is nice and the pace is fun. Wasn't expecting the dark sections!

Capacity Nice surprise! Discomfort

Highly underrated coaster, nice elements such as the dark parts. Be sure to take a ride in the back, also great views when going in during the evening and see the park ( Especially during wintertraum when you can see the Berlin place with the christmas tree)

Nice surprise! Duration

This is a very fun coaster honestly. I was surprised on how long this coaster actually is! Overall it's just great fun, definitely worth the ride if the queue isn't too long :)

Airtimes Capacity Duration

Absolutely one of the most underrated German coasters.

Its a family Coaster but still throws you around in the Back car. It is really long with 3 Lift hills and you never wait long. Just a fun machine for everyone, i know nobody Who really dislikes it. I hope it stay around for many more Years, its a perfect fit at Phantasialand

Nice surprise! Fun Duration

I enjoyed Vekoma's Mine train in Gardaland but Colorado Adventure is even better. Perfect family ride.

Theming Layout Duration Discomfort

Very beautifully themed coaster. The coaster is pretty long and has a nice varying layout, not much rattling. Thrill: 2.5/5 Cons: the seats are uncomfortable and hard and the small indoor section in that mountain looks like in a warehouse

Fun Layout Duration Discomfort

This ride is always a must-ride when visiting Phantasialand. While most of its stats just look like the stats of a typical family coaster, it's much more. The layout is amazing and it feels surprisingly intense and fast. However it isn't the most comfortable ride. It doesn't hurt by any means but it has some shaky moments.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Layout

Great fun mine train, one of, if not the, best out there. Really long, great forces, some decent themeing in the first and last bits.

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity

From the ride itself it is the best minetrain. The theming is fine but could get a redo. For a minetrain it is also really intense with a creative layout and it remains exciting until the end.

Capacity Fun Duration

Just a fun machine, for the whole Family.

Location Fun Duration Discomfort

It's a really fun ride: The layout is interesting and pretty long, it is nicely themed and there are even some caves providing small darkride sections. For a family coaster it's not to underestimate, but on the other side, the riding comfort is rustic, which fits to an old runaway mine train!

Airtimes Theming Duration Discomfort

Very exciting Mine Train. - Great theming and overall good duration. The airtimes and feelings on this coaster are just perfect, even the head chopper moments! - Trains are quite small and hard to fit tall people.

Nice surprise! Fun Duration Capacity Discomfort

This one was a nice surprise! I never would have thought it would be such a long ride. A solid mine train coaster which I enjoyed very much. Only cons are the long lines and the discomfort I experienced with my bag in the coaster. I was afraid it would fall out. Next time I will attach it better.

Fun Layout Duration

The best mine train I know, featuring a very long layout separated into three parts by two lift hills. Theming is wonderful, but, ironically, where the coaster really shines is the middle part in the dark. Here it is being surprisingly intense, a feeling enhanced by the loose lap bars. It is still only good and not amazing to me, because I find the layout a bit repetitive. Still a quality ride for sure.

I can remember marathoning this coaster when I visited Phantasialand in Year 7 and it was great fun! Can't wait to get back on this ride this summer!

One of the best mine train coasters!

Theming Fun Duration

Excellent mine train- as far as I'm concerned mine trains don't get any better. It has a high capacity, it's a very enjoyable and well-themed ride and I would ride it all day if Phantasialand wasn't as good as it is. Very very good ride.

Airtimes Capacity Duration

The best mine train coaster there is. It has a layout which stays interesting during the entire ride (altough it realises this by using 3 chain lifts)

Airtimes Capacity Duration

Underrated by many

This tries to emulate Big Thunder Mountain in Paris and it gets close ... but does no reach the Disney original (which has still a lot more detail and theming). Comparable to Calamity Mine in Walibi Belgium.
