Fast facts

The story of Taron

Phantasialand did not set Taron in an open meadow. The railway was made the centrepiece of Klugheim, where the track runs close by rockwork, houses, paths, and tunnels, as if the whole little place had been built to receive it. phantasialand.de· latimes.com

Intamin supplied the coaster for Phantasialand in Brühl, Germany, and the project asked much of a compact site. Blooloop reported that the park wanted a great labyrinthine knot of track; Intamin answered with a long steel course, two launches, and a succession of close passages. blooloop.com

When it opened on 30 June 2016, Taron stood thirty metres tall and reached 117 km/h, without a single inversion. The second launch lies down in the canyon, where the train is sent on to its full speed. en.wikipedia.org· funparks.com

Its reception has remained notably strong. In the Parkscout Publikums Award 2025/2026, visitors placed Taron first in the Best Roller Coaster category, keeping the Brühl ride in the public affections long after its opening summer. parkscout.de
