Taron • Phantasialand

Theming Launch Layout

I was expecting Taron to be absolutely amazing but he was even better and exceeds my expectation in all of the ways. I have ridden him the first train in the morning and on the late afternoon and I have to say, that I have never seen some other coaster to warm up like Taron. Taron is fast in the morning but is even much faster in the afternoon. Spectacular. Full package. Great soundtrack, amazing location in Klugheim, no dead spots. No more words needed. Go to Phantasialand and ride Taron.

Airtimes Launch Masterpiece Dead spots

What a amazing worldclass coaster! The launches are insane and this ride is really snappy! It has some great ejector airtime on a twisted hill. The second launch is were the ride starts to get insane. I do have one complaint, before the second launch the S-turn feels like a small death spot but it's a minor one so it doesn't affect the ride

Theming Launch Masterpiece Capacity

Just the best roller coaster I've ever ridden! The theming is on the highest level, the launches are forceful and sound good, and the ride is very intense. You get thrown from side to side with awesome airtime. There are also some spots with strong positive G's. The part before the second launch is a bit slower which I actually like because it builds anticipation for that launch. Sadly the last two airtime hills are trimmed, but you still get some airtime. This and the capacity are the only negative things about Taron.

Comfort Launch Duration

A great long ride with awesome launches, snappy transitions and good pacing. The theming is incredible and takes this ride to another level.

People can overrate some rides and I can see why people would be disappointed, but for me Taron is a fantastic ride and also an experience. Highly enjoyable ride and the whole area works in its favour aswell.

Airtimes Theming Layout

It is 3 years ago when i did this beautiful ride for the first time. After a good party we went with 11 friends to Phantasialand and that was for me the first time ever in the park. This park have amazing coasters and this one was my favourite with al the rocks everywhere. You ride like an animal to all the theming and the second launch is amazing. Now i rode this thing about 30 times and still is a strong coaster so number 8 on my top list coasters is deserved.

Masterpiece Intensity Duration

Best ride ever

Theming Pace Intensity Dead spots

This coaster is a masterpiece! The launches are brilliant and pacing really wild. The trains has very good comfort and the forces during the ride are very very strong. The theming is the best I have experienced. There are 2 dead spots during the ride, but they don't take away from the experience. Overall this is an 10/10 ride. World class

Theming Launch Layout

This might be right now the best themed coaster in the world! The theme Klugheim is amazing and immersive. The coaster has 2 launches, very fast paced curves, very smooth, some intensity, nicely interwoven with the scenery and very fun to ride. There is really nothing bad to say about this ride, (a barrel roll might have been a cool addition though, but thats bickering on a high level) Thrill: 3.5/5

Theming Launch Layout Airtimes

This ride is a masterpiece! It has everything in its very long and twisty layout. You've got 2 good launches (especially the second one), fast tranitions, good positive g-forces and a very good airtime moment (and some weaker ones). This all is packed within an amazingly themed area. While it could use more airtime moments, it's still a great coaster that earns a 5-star rating in my opinion.

Theming Launch Duration Airtimes Reliability

A masterpiece especially in the front. The best LSM launch i have experienced its getting close to hydrolics. Theming is great, soundtrack is good and the ride looks amazing. Lots of rapid transitions, but a shame the air time hills got trims on Them. Also surfers with downtime.

Comfort Masterpiece Duration

Nonstop fun. What a masterpiece with a phenomenal layout and immersive theming. And all of that with the most comfortable coaster trains ever

Theming Masterpiece Layout Inversions

Realy fun ride one of the best themed rides in the world great second launch and good pasing

Launch Fun Masterpiece

Absolutely Unbelievable. Long Layout. Insanely Fun. Probably the best themed coaster. Two strong launches. Quality airtime moments. Great whip. Such a complete package. Nightrides are Phantastic. Queue is a letdown compared to the rest of the ride but just going there at the ERT event makes up for it. - Also the ride provides a unbelievable experience in every seat of the ride with the front ones being the best (Right a tiny bit better than left)

Theming Pace Masterpiece Dead spots

The theming is incredible and makes this fast and twisty ride unique. The second launch is insane and the highlight of this layout. Apart of that it has a long duration. However, I think there are a few sections before the second launch which could be more forceful. But all in all this ride is truly a masterpiece!

Theming Launch Masterpiece

Just an amazing Complete package! Superb night ride!

Theming Launch Masterpiece

For me it's the best roller coaster I've been ridden until now. Two great launch experiences, feels insanely fast, throws you from one side to the other, super long duration and a mindblowing theming with multiple head choppers and near misses. I don't have a weak stomach - but after my ride on Taron, I really felt dizzy for at least half an hour. Well, the warm weather conditions on my day of visit may have contributed to this, but I never really felt something like this. Such a masterpiece of a roller coaster.

Theming Launch Duration

This coaster is absolutely outstanding: the ride is a real rush of speed from the beginning to the end, the theming is faboulus and the second boost is (and sounds) extremely forceful. The layout looks not really extreme from the outside, but it still provides plenty of fun and great thrills. Additionally, the track is very long, on my first ride it felt if the ride didn't want to end because when you expected the brake run, there was still another turn or twist. Definetely one of the best rollercoasters of Germany (and maybe even in the world...)

Theming Capacity Comfort

Amazing ride. Amazing theming. I would love it somewhat more if the launch was a tiny bit snappier. Love the capacity of this thing. Only real downside is the catterpillar queue near the sound barrier.

Airtimes Theming Intensity

Jesus Christ this ride is fantastic. It has everything I love in a coaster. It has great airtime, great positives, great laterals & whippy transitions, it's so long, it's incredibly smooth & comfortable, and the theming is the icing on the cake. My favourite part of the ride was probably the twisted airtime hill midway through the second half, but no part was especially weak to me. Any parts that could have been weak were made infinitely better by the constant interactions with the theming, with the hand choppers and head choppers adding a great amount of excitement to the ride. I will say that I experienced it on a very good day. It was very warm and it flew round the course, so I can imagine my opinion changing if I ride it again on a worse day, but overall, I love this ride, and I can't wait to get back

Airtimes Theming Ejectors Dead spots

A truly fantastic coaster, 2 great launches and surprisingly varied elements given the entire ride just appears to be s-turns. Fantastic variations in forces and the feeling of rushing through an intricately designed village couple together to make a jaw-dropping experienced, let down only by 1 deadspot where it feels like the coaster does very little.

Launch Intensity Ejectors Dead spots

What a nutty ride, especially once it's sped up in the evening of Wintertraum. Taron has fantastic trains with fantastic seats and restraints, fantastic launches and a fantastic themed area surrounding it. I went in with low expectations as it looks to just be 'S-Bends: The Ride', but it's safe to say that I was very wrong to think that. Whilst the layout is still pretty bland on paper, each transition rides differently due to the raised heartline and track shaping. Sometimes you'll be ejected from your seat vertically or laterally, sometimes you'll be folded entirely sideways, and sometimes you'll get all of it at once! The ride is stupid intense. A fantastic mix of positives, negatives and powerful launches. The theme and near-miss elements certainly increase the thrill of the experience, racing through the medieval village of Klugheim, and it's the kind of ride you will immediately want to do again. There are, however, a couple of dead spots on the ride that don't match up to the rest of the layout; a banked turn before the S-bends leading in to the second launch, and the turn before the final airtime hill. I feel that had these been ironed out then it would deserve a full 5 stars.

Theming Comfort Smoothness Airtimes

The Theming is stunning! The ride itself is fun.

Airtimes Theming Launch Dead spots

Random and violent moments of combined airtime and laterals, relentless layour bar a few deadzones, great launches and absolutely fantasic ride area and layout integration. Night rides are a must.

Theming Layout Duration

Taron is nothing but a masterpiece. I get it is not the most intense coaster, but to me intensity is not the end goal of a coaster; the end goal is to provide amusement and amazement, and Taron provides a ton of both of them. But don't get me wrong: it still provides a punch. Some says it's almost a "family" ride, but it is not. It provides some great airtimes, some curves are nuts and the launches are very cool. I especially like the sound Phantasialand created for them. And obviously, the theming is an absolute wonder.

Theming Capacity Duration Dead spots

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 Launch Masterpiece Dead spots

great Launch, really good Theming, 2 Dead spots, really Smooth, a bit overrated

Awesome ride, but regular breakdowns!

Theming Launch Masterpiece

Amazing coaster. Breathtaking, fast, great theming and an overall masterpiece coaster.

Lap Bar Nice surprise! Comfort Dead spots Reliability

It is a good to very good rollercoaster, but considering it's hype it will disappoint many riders. It does a lot of different things, but nothing what other coasters couldn't do better. There are rides with better theming (Big Thunder Mountain), better airtime, better twists, better intensity,.... A great rollercaster for the GP, but as an enthusiast it lacks a punch.

Theming Launch Masterpiece

I ride it regularly (several times every few weeks) and it does not get boring at all. It sustains its speed and it feels that it never slows down. The two launches (especially the second one) are very intense. Secret tip: If you happen to get assigned to the second row, take the right seat. There are two points on the ride where this seat is the most intense one :-) (don't ask me why, test it for yourself). The park just recently won the award of Europe's most immerse theme park. One of the reasons is Taron and Klugheim in general. Even if you don't ride it, you are part of the ride. Taron crosses the village of Klugheim several times. And if you are eating your Schnitzel on the market place, you will hear it, feel it and you want to ride again after your meal :-)

Theming Launch Layout

+ Great Launches + Outstanding Theming + Some good Airtime-moments - some dead spots

Theming Masterpiece Intensity Reliability

This is a true masterpiece... from the theming, to the layout, to the intense two launches.. it was the most intensive ride i've ridden so far... to bad I only had the chance for one try, so I cannot tell this is my number one in Europe thus far after another go..

Airtimes Theming Nice surprise!

First of all this is a visually most stunning coaster. The whole area of Klugheim is expertly themed and the coaster is extremely well integrated. The new seats are comfortable and leave nothing to be desired. The first launch has great sound design, but is not one of my favorites intensity-wise - it is merely good fun. The entire rest of the layout though is action-packed and consistently intense in just the right way. First half already feels way fast and features two amazing moments of airtime, the better one being a twisted airtime hill. Having a second launch and thus being able to increase the speed throughout the ride is a fantastic idea and adds to the sense of euphoria you feel. It leads you to the highest point of the ride, followed by the best element - another very violent twisted airtime hill. The trim brake before the last hill is too strong but might be necessary to reduce the forces in the final narrow curve. Duration of the ride is fantastic and you instantly feel that this is a highest quality ride. Very minor shortcomings (trim, some parts without interesting Elements,...) prevent it from receiving a perfect score.

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 one moment of airtime 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.

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.

Theming Launch Fun Airtimes

Nice theming coaster.

Launch Masterpiece Duration Reliability

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!

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.

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.

Launch Intensity Ejectors

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.

Theming Launch Masterpiece

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.

Airtimes Theming Masterpiece

Taron is simply amazing. My 3rd favourite rollercoaster.

Airtimes Masterpiece Harness Dead spots

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.

Airtimes Theming Intensity Dead spots

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.

Theming Fun Intensity Dead spots

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.
