Phantasialand hosts the world’s first launched flying roller coaster, F.L.Y., which is also the longest flying roller coaster in the world.
The Colorado Adventure, a themed mine train roller coaster at the park, was officially inaugurated by US singer and dancer, the late Michael Jackson.
All the roller coasters and themed areas in Phantasialand are enhanced with special music interwoven through all the experiences. The accompanying soundtracks add to the mystical, spooky, or exhilarating nature of the rides, immersing guests deeper in the themes and storytelling.
The Phantasialand theme park offers 6 unique themed zones, transporting you to different worlds. From thrilling rides and spectacular shows to unique dining and shopping opportunities, there's something for everyone. Families with young children and visitors with disabilities can also enjoy the park’s rides and attractions.
You need a full day to explore the rides and shows inside each themed zone. Phantasialand is quite popular and attracts tourists from all over the world. There are long lines outside each attraction, especially the thrilling coasters, so you need to keep a minimum of 5 to 6 hours in hand when visiting this theme park. For the ultimate immersive experience, we recommend staying over at one of the Phantasialand Hotels.
The world’s fastest multi-launch roller coaster, Taron is located in the heart of the Mystery Zone in Phantasialand. It features over 116 crossovers, weaving between the tracks and narrowly missing structures and waterfalls, making for a heart-pounding experience.
April to May and September to October are the best months to visit Phantasialand. The weather is pleasant and crowds are slightly less than the peak summer months.

During Halloween, the Phantasialand theme park turns into a spooky wonderland, with special themed rides. And, from late November to late January, Phantasialand Wintertraum is in full swing, meaning the park is adorned with millions of twinkling lights and illuminated trees, creating a magical ambiance. The park is more crowded during these special occasions, however, pre-booking tickets online and queuing early in the day will help you get access to these events.
The Phantasialand entry tickets offer access to all rides and attractions within the themed zones. If you want to experience one of the shows, like Fantissima, Battle of the Best, or Rock on Ice, you have to book separate tickets.
