Discover Taron
Our tips:

- Consider a Quick Pass
Taron
Taron is the launch coaster in Klugheim, the rock village in the Mystery themed area. The ride opened in 2016 and is considered one of the best roller coasters in Europe. You're launched twice, reaching a top speed of around 117 km/h.
The concept
Klugheim is a village full of basalt rocks, wooden houses and waterfalls. Taron is intertwined with the family coaster Raik: according to the park, the tracks cross each other and the village no fewer than 116 times. There are no loops on the ride, but plenty of speed and tight turns.
The Experience
After the first launch you shoot between the rocks, constantly feeling as if you're about to hit something. Halfway through comes a second, even more powerful launch. The track is around 1,320 metres long and 30 metres high at its highest point. The airtime moments and rapid changes of direction are particularly impressive.
Discover Taron
Go early or late in the day
Taron is one of the most popular attractions in the park. The queue is usually shortest straight after opening and in the last hour.
Watch from the sidelines too
After your ride, take a stroll through Klugheim. From the paths and little bridges you can see the trains whizzing past the rocks and houses with inches to spare.
Consider a Quick Pass
Want a shorter queue? At the Gästeservice in Berlin you can buy a Quick Pass for this ride (€12 per ride, as of November 2026, while stocks last).
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.30 metres tall. Between 1.30 and 1.40 metres you ride accompanied by an adult; from 1.40 metres you can ride alone. With Baby-Switch, parents with young children don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then swaps in. Taron is open all year round, including during Wintertraum (down to around -10 °C).
The heart of Klugheim
For many visitors, Taron is the reason to come to Phantasialand. Combine the ride with Raik for the younger members of the family and round things off with a bite to eat at Rutmor's Taverne, right in the middle of the village.
