As far as mine trains go, this one is pretty fantastic. It's quite long with three lift hills, offers a crazy dark section and nice theming overall. In the back it pulls some surprisingly strong laterals at times which makes it more intense than you'd initially expect. Unfortunately, due to its age, Colorado Adventure is not the smoothest right out there: I wouldn't exactly describe the seating as comfortable and the lap bar doesn't help either. From what I can tell, sitting on the right hand side (back row) is a bit more comfortable than sitting on the left.

FirleFranz is a great family coaster with a somewhat ingenious trick up its sleeve. The switch-track adds a lot of character and really elevates the otherwise rather conservative layout. While being far from intense, it's fun throughout and, in my opinion, so much better than regular family boomerangs. The only downside of this coaster is its limited capacity as FirleFranz can only operate one train at a time.

Not that much to say about this Tivoli: It has a nice enough layout but lacks in intensity. I rode it in the back and was hoping for a little more punch. Capacity is good, though, and it's a rather smooth ride overall. I love the front car as well, it's like the caterpillar is giving you the Luigi death stare as it's rushing by.

Winja'sFear is a fun indoor spinning wild mouse in Wuze Town. Riding and spinning through the indoor area is a fun but rather short experience. It has a few surprises up it's sleeve that are refreshing but ultimately just a minor part of the ride. It's main downside are its short length paired with low capacity. Therefore, Winja's often has the longest queues of all the coasters at Phantasialand which makes riding it not really worth it. Why wait in line for 30-50 minutes if you can get almost two rides on Taron in that same timeframe?

As has been stated, one should look at Crazy Bats more as an experience than a coaster. The ride is quite long and sells the illusion of riding/sliding through a castle surprisingly well. Personally, I haven't experienced any problems with the VR-headsets myself but saw it happen in the train before me (people were offered a second ride). While Crazy Bats isn't particularly exciting, it's decent enough as long as you're not having to wait for more than ten minutes. Unfortunately, operations are quite slow, due to the VR headsets.

Black Mamba is an amazing #3 coast in Phantasialand to complete their thrill-seeking line-up. The theming of the ride is great: after traversing the jungle that is the queue, you'll enter the darkness if the station where you're dispatched to a powerful score. The first drop sends you into a loop, the first of four inversions. The ride is smooth while the coaster maintains a great sense of speed throughout. What makes the ride is the dropping in and out of trenches, in between forests and through small caves. While it's ultimately not as unique as Taron or F.L.Y., it's a very enjoyable ride that could only be improved by a more engaging second half.

F.L.Y. is a good coaster which is elevated by its theming. The whole package makes it such a unique and awesome experience. Flying through Rookburgh and winding through its streets with all it's near-misses is amazing. I love the theming and the soundtrack once you leave the station. The transition into the flying position is nothing short of elegant. It's not the most intense ride but it's smooth and the countless turns keep you guessing. If you rate the whole experience including the incredible theming, it's close to perfect in my book. I only wish F.L.Y. had stronger moments of airtime throughout the ride. Still a must-do if you're in Europe.

Incredibly fun layout with lots of near misses and a great sense of speed especially during the second launch. The theming is impeccable, operations were running fast and smoothly. The only minor flaw...

Incredibly fun layout with lots of near misses and a great sense of speed especially during the second launch. The theming is impeccable, operations were running fast and smoothly. The only minor flaw was that Taron seemed to noticably lose some speed before approaching the last turn leading into the second launch. If it kept its pace a little more and provided a tiny bit more airtime on the final hills, it would be an impeccable coaster in my books. Still worldclass and very re-ridable though!
