Taron • Phantasialand

Theming Launch Duration

Best roller coaster I have ever done! Great theme and accompanying music, 2 fantastic launches and a very smooth ride! Highly recommended to all amusement park enthusiasts!

Theming Launch Duration Airtimes Dead spots Intensity

It's almost perfect and the immersion is unparalleled for a coaster of this size, but - for me - the layout itself lacks a bit of airtime and is a tad too repetitive with too few iconic moments.

Nice theming coaster.

Taron is easily the best coaster I have ever ridden! The launches are surprisingly snappy and the whippy transitions are top quality! The only downsides are the fact that the ride is a bit sluggish at the end of the first half, but that means that the second launch hits really hard! The only other thing is the reliability as the coaster went down a few times during my day at Phantasialand. Overall a great, amazingly themed ride experience!

For me this ride has some great moments however some parts of the ride are considerably less forceful and fun than other parts. This ride is also made better with the immaculate theming which adds new layers of fun with the many headchopper elements throughout the ride

Theming Lap Bar Fun Airtimes

Brilliant coaster, was looking through the list trying to find a con and honestly its only the airtime (unless you want inversions anyway!) two great launches, tons of airtime - a bit weak maybe but airtime - and fantastic transitions etc... let alone the theming.

Superbe theming, great second launch. Gets better in the afternoon.

Lap Bar Launch Fun Disappointing! Discomfort Airtimes

The poorly designed seat makes the transitions quite uncomfortable (There's nothing that keeps your body upright). In addition, the ride only has floater airtime (one moment) and suffers from having an uninspired layout. On a brighter note the launches are excellent and very snappy for an LSM launch. The lap bar is very comfortable on your thighs and doesn't staple you.

Taron is just a masterpiece: Nice transitions, great airtime, awesome theming and two great launches.

Airtimes Launch Intensity

Amazing coaster with an incredible launch, great airtime moments, pops of intensity, and rapid transitions. Still my favourite EU coaster having ridden Helix, Shambhala and many other top rated EU coasters.

One of the best coasters ever!

Theming Launch Masterpiece

My number one coaster...The theming is incredible. Klugheim is absolutely magical and beats Disney's theming. The ride is epic with no slow moment, second launch is the highlight launching upwards past a waterfall that is the best element in the ride. Counting down to ride it again.

Theming Layout Duration

Definitely my favorite ride.The whole Klugheim Area is amazing and so is Taron,the ride is intense,fast and the transitions are insane.

I would add way more "main pro's"but I can only add 3. It is up till now the only coaster that gave me euforia when I left it. It realy feels like taking drugs

Airtimes Theming Launch

An amazing double launch coaster with some of the best theming i have ever seen on a thrill coaster. As the day moves on it warms up and just gets better and to top it off, it gives one of the best night rides you will find on any ride in the world.

Airtimes Theming Masterpiece

Brilliant coaster! Silky smooth yet incredibly intense throughout the entire ride. Lots of airtime too. Overall just an amazing coaster.

So, Intamin finally manged to create seats which are not uncomfortable - still not on par with the Mack seats, but a good step forward. Phantasialand has created a mind-boggling setting called 'Klugheim' for this ride and the coaster is indeed roaring through the buildings and pseudo-stones. Especially the second launch is great - the rest of the layout is very repetitive. I don't say this often, but an inversion would have been a nice distraction from all the twists and turnarounds during the course.

Taron is simply amazing. My 3rd favourite rollercoaster.

So this is probably the best coaster experience I've ever had. I've followed the construction of this ride since the first supports started going up and have been amazed by what my new favorite park in the world has been able to pull off. I always looked at this coaster as a bucket list coaster that I wouldn't be able to ride for years but I was finally able to get on this beast this summer. I love this ride to death and there's just so much about it that's great. As a layout, this coaster is not the best since there are a few weak spots (though flying through theming does help a bit) and the trims at the end put a small break in the pacing. However, as an experience it is the best coaster I have ever ridden and if you would ask me what coaster I would want to ride right now over and over again it would be this. Both launches on this ride are fantastic (the second in particular), there's some great airtime moments, and some amazing near misses with the incredible scenery the park has built. The restraints really do make this ride since they outdo Mack's in every possible way. These are the best and most comfortable restraints and seats I have ever experienced on a coaster and the amount of freedom you have is incredible. The ability to have so much free movement makes this ride. I've loved this coaster since the beginning and I'm so happy I was able to ride it. I highly recommend a visit to Phantasialand as it is the best themepark in the world in my opinion. I know I'll be returning in the near future! P.S. I know I'm definitely overhyping the ride but we all overrate our favorite coasters.

I can't even find words to describe how fantastic this ride is. I'll put it simply, it's been years and years since I've walked off a ride feeling quite like that. The launch, the airtime, the transitions, the intensity, the near-misses, everything about this ride is flawless. It's the most incredible experience I've had the pleasure of doing in my life. But, I gotta get in depth somewhere. I'll just start off by saying that the restraints on these newer Intamin rides are fantastic! Some of the most comfortable restraints and seats I've ever sat in personally, but I don't think they're quite as good as MACK Mega trains or GCI Millennium Flyers. But the lapbar is amazing and even if you pin yourself to the seat (the ride-ops do that, unfortunately), it feels really comfy, and it does not at all get in the way of the ride, like some restraints do when tightened too much. And it being a lapbar (Unlike other Intamin Blitz coasters) means that you get total freedom on the layout, specifically the airtime. Speaking of airtime, this is some of the most incredible airtime I've ever experienced. I remember somewhere I read that the highest negative G-force you get on the ride is 0.75Gs, which is BS. After the amazing first hill, you enter a really intense turn and then one of the most amazing "Intamin twists" ever, and once again, the lapbar makes it better than say, Maverick's, to name one. You pass really close to some buildings and dive over the launch track. It kinda meanders before the second launch, which is kinda boring for a bit, and then you hit the launch. When you do, it just friggin takes off at incredible speed, it's a bit unfortunate that it vibrates because the second launch is really good, and quite intense. Not as good as the first, though. After that, you the highest point of the ride, with a fantastic view over all of Klugheim. During the ride, you race through this really intense overbanked turn (After the highest point) which is, in my opinion, one of the most fantastic moments of the ride and one of my favorite overbanks. I find it to be quite similar to Maverick's Stengel dive, actually. The ride's a blur from start to finish, and I can almost guarantee that you will be light-headed for at least a second after riding. But it's absolutely fantastic, and surprisingly intense. To me it seems as though it was slower in the videos, but videos do not do this ride justice, at all, it's much more intense than it looks. (as everyone had previously said). The lapbars , IMO, make this ride a lot better than it would be otherwise, and allows for some really fantastic laterals without making the ride uncomfortable. (PS, sit on the right side. You get a lot more near misses, and you also get wet on the waterfall after the second launch. It's amazing). BY THE WAY, you won't get bored in the queue, it's surrounded by track and trains run every 30 seconds or so, so that's an awesome plus. And since trains run so often, the queue is in a constant state of motion as well.

Simply breathtaking coasters. The first half might have slightly sluggish pacing, but what comes after the second launch more than makes up! Insane succession of twisty turns taken at sheer speed. The intensity of that second half is really impressive. Phantasialand has produced yet another jaw-dropping theming to make the experience even more awesome.
