Fantasiana is an underrated theme park in Austria. This park has some good theming and for the sake
of this video, some interesting attractions. There’s just two coasters, but both are fairly
unique. Then you also have some non-coasters with some well-done dark ride sections.
So in this video, I will countdown the park’s top 10 rides and attractions.
10) Risenrad- This is a smaller Ferris Wheel where riders are seated in balloons,
but it’s tall enough to offer the best views of the Wild Train roller coaster.
And if it’s a quiet day, the operator will let you stay on as long or short as you’d like.
9) Monorail Schneckenbahn- This monorail rides among the trees and it gives you an aerial
tour of the park’s small Fairytale Forest area. 8) Safari-Jeepfahrt- This is a fun track-guided
car ride. The ride has lush landscaping to make it feel like you’re in the jungle.
Then you pass all sorts of animal figures, some outdoors and some indoors. I wish some were
animated, but this is still head-and-shoulders better than your average car ride.
7) Fridolin’s Verruckter Zauberexpress- This is a solid junior coaster. It’s tame,
but it has some neat features. First off, it has 5, yes 5, launches. The launches are theatric too
with the projecting mapping and musical score. You then get two laps around the main layout.
None of the elements standout, but there are some nice near-misses and the ride is super smooth.
6) Flyrosaurus- This star flyer is the park’s tallest ride by far. Standing nearly
12 stories tall, you get a nice birds-eye view of everything the park has to offer.
There isn’t much else to see in the distance though, just a bunch of fields.
5) Sinbads Abenteuerreise- This is a slow-moving dark ride. Between that and
the ride system rotating you for each scene, you are easily able to take everything in.
The animatronics looked just ok and had limited movement, but they were large in scale.
4) Schloss Dracula- This is a very long haunted walkthrough. It’s better than
most seasonal haunts for sure. It’s a mix of staged show scenes and walkthrough sections.
You have only a few scare actors, but they are loud and animated. Then you have some
shockingly dark scenes, including one where an animatronic Dracula drains a woman of her blood.
3) Mami Wata- This is a unique Hafema log flume. You have some monkey theming along the route and
a more complex ride system then you’d expect. You have some turntables and an elevator. Then you
have two solid drops. The first is backwards while the second is larger and has decent zip to it.
2) KnightsRide Tower- This is an incredible drop tower. Built by ABC Rides, it is a highly
themed experience located entirely within a castle. You have some show scenes on the
way up with multiple animatronics! And two of them are accompanied by terrifying 4D effects.
Then the climactic drop is incredible. It’s roughly 6 stories tall, but if feels way taller
and produces a fantastic freefall sensation. I have an entire review on this attraction,
but it may be my favorite drop tower outside of the Tower of Terror rides at the Disney parks.
1) Wild Train- This Pax creation is deceptively intense. It has the height of a family coaster,
but it packs a serious punch. The hills are comically sharp. This leads to some
very abrupt and powerful airtime rivaling that of an RMC. Accompanying these negative-Gs are
some frightening headchoppers. I was too afraid to keep my hands up on this one!
Some may find this ride a bit too much, but I thoroughly enjoyed marathoning this one.
Check out my review for more on this one! So those are the top 10 rides at Fantasiana.
Most enthusiasts know of this park for Wild Train, but there are some non-coasters that
should not be missed as well. What are your favorite rides at this park or thoughts on
any of the ones I mentioned? Let me know down in the comments. If you enjoyed this countdown, I’d
