Phantasialand Unveils Revamped Entrance Area for Colorado Adventure

In a strategic renovation that blends nostalgia with a fresh flair, Phantasialand has redesigned the entrance area of its popular family roller coaster, Colorado Adventure. This development represents not just an aesthetic enhancement, but also a commitment to improving the customer experience.

A Tribute to the Gold Rush Era: The New Entrance in Detail

Visitors to Phantasialand are now welcomed by an entrance that revives the vibrant history of the Gold Rush era. A rustic wooden gateway that leads guests to the start of the attraction and a vintage-style sign indicating the fictional 'Colorado Mining Company' complement the thematic concept and offer a warm welcome, heightening expectations for the impending adventure.

Information Design Meets Theming

The integration of modern information media into the overall image of the entrance demonstrates the park's effort in conveying information and user-friendliness. Information boards and digital screens, styled consistently with the theme, provide guests with essential information without compromising the immersive character of the coaster’s underground world.

Honoring the Legacy: Design Shift After Designer Change

Following the tragic loss of Eric Daman, the park's lead designer, in April 2022, Sven Riegel took over the helm of design. With the redesign of the entrance, Riegel has ensured continuity in the commitment to quality while also introducing a fresh perspective that redefines the experience of Colorado Adventure for visitors.

The Journey Begins Before the Ride

The reopening of the entrance to Colorado Adventure, with the queue starting at the Silverado Theatre, shows that at Phantasialand, the guest’s experiential journey begins long before the actual roller coaster ride. This thoughtful design of the waiting area plays a crucial role in building anticipation and expectation among visitors.

A Glimpse Into the History of Colorado Adventure

Since its inauguration in 1996 by superstar Michael Jackson, the roller coaster, originally known as 'The Michael Jackson Thrill Ride', has captivated millions of visitors. The 1280-meter-long track, constructed by the esteemed Dutch manufacturer Vekoma, offers a dynamic riding experience with three lift hills and passages through dark mine shafts.

Summary and Outlook

The recent redesign of the entrance area of Colorado Adventure marks another chapter in Phantasialand’s history, showcasing how the park harmoniously combines tradition and modernity, continuously enhancing the visitor experience. The amusement park reaffirms its reputation as one of the industry's innovation leaders. With such investments in the attraction experience, Phantasialand sets standards for an audience that seeks not just thrills but also a story that immerses them in the action. The optimized entrance area heralds a new era for Colorado Adventure and reinforces the importance of thematic design in the world of amusement parks.
