Taron is a multilaunch steel roller coaster manufactured by Intamin located at Phantasialand in Germany.[1] It was the fastest multi-launched roller coaster in the world when it opened[2] on 30 June 2016.
The ride is situated in the 'Klugheim' area of the theme park, a mythical village reflecting Old Norse cultures. The coaster sits in a canyon of basalt rock at the edge of the village. Also within the canyon is a new-for-2016 Family Boomerang roller coaster called Raik. Klugheim replaced the former Silver City themed area of the park.[3]
