Wild!How was Wild Train? I still need to get on a PAX
It was loads of fun, the run of airtime hills in the middle of the layout were insane. Mad supports in places as well.
Only other one I've ridden is the one still operating at Parc St Paul (near Paris)also called Wild Train. Which has a mad first drop and a few crazy hills as well.

In a statement on coasterfriends.de, the park has also confirmed that the coaster is not a Stryker, but rather a Big Dipper using the Stryker trains. Here's the translated excerpt:

Dear theme park community!
I am Simon S. from FANTASIANA and the park manager colleague of Mario P., the valued colleague who you already know and to whom I would like to give the floor again below.Recently we have received an increasing number of inquiries as to whether our facility is a Big Dipper or a Stryker facility. As deeply rooted and enthusiastic theme park fans, we have also noticed that there are more and more discussions and debates on this matter.
I have now registered in the CF forum to provide clarity on this matter - in the hope that this information will spread from the forum in the industry, as an official statement on our website would have little relevance for our day guests.
Our facility is a Big Dipper facility with Stryker trains. Technically speaking, the Stryker trains are a further development of the Big Dipper train. In consultation with and with the kind permission of MACK Rides, we are allowed to present you with an excerpt from the official purchase contract. An interview I did with Ride Review at the trade fair in Vienna can also serve as a guide.![]()

Legoland Billund closed their rapids late last year, and instead of leaving them to rot for 18 months they've instead removed them over the past few weeks.
RCDB reports a coaster will be built to open in 2026.

Really nice video made by CoasterFriends in collaboration with the park, offering some insights from Simon (a park manager at Fantasiana) as well

The replacement for The Dragon at Jardin d'acclimation in Paris is ready to open this month.
Visited in June 2023 and it's a lovely park to walk around and go on the rides.

More bang for their buck in a park where virtually nothing is above the treeline.That second half is really weird. And feels more proof of concept than anything.
Think it’s a really good investment for them and certainly their biggest coaster by some chalk. Tourists never go here as they don’t know it’s there but well worth a visit, even if just to wander the pretty gardens.
