News & Rumors

 

PHANTASIALAND
Germany

 

Park News - (3/15/10) New information about the changes taking place all around Phantasialand can be found at Park Scout.
   (2/1/10) I’ve been sent a quick correction. It seems the rumor I posted yesterday about a plan  to remove the Old Berlin name is actually just an old project rumor that has long since been dropped.
    (11/4/09) Phantasialand has confirmed that they will be removing two older attractions this winter, the 39 year old Schwarzkopf made “Gondelbahn 1001 Nacht” and the Walzertraum boat ride. The park says they are forced to remove these attractions to make room for a new future indoor attraction project. It seems space is at a premium here, as the park would love to expand beyond their current border, but virtyally all expansion efforts are thwarted by local politicians and eco protection groups.

 

icon_STOP2010 - Wuzel Expansion and 7 - (3/27/10) Phantasialand has announced several new well themed kiddie attractions will go in just outside Wuze Town along with a promotion that will allow kids 7 and under into the park for free.
    (3/3/10) Phantasialand has launched a new website to promote something called Seven. Of course it’s all in German so I’m a bit lost as to what it all means but I’m told that beyond the main creepy page are others listed, one to open each week themed to Fire, Water, Earth and Air. However the locals believe this is all a hint about an upcoming new magic show coming to the park by Jan Rouven. According to this Phantasialand fan fourm they compare elements from the 7 website and how they match up to some of Jan Rouven’s known tricks. Rouven has also mentioned that he will be performing in Germany somewhere in 2010, but the announcement wouldn’t happen until sometime in March. We’ll have to wait and see if this all works out or not.
    (3/1/10) The latest news from Phantasialand is that the 2010 project is actually an expansion that will add four small attractions to the Wuze area of the park, related somehow to a female Phoenix bird named Phenie. One attraction will be a maze placed behind the Temple of the Night Hawk attraction.
    (2/27/10) New artwork for the Wuzel Earth page has been added to the official park site.
    (2/4/10) Phantaisland has made an announcement about a new attraction called Wuzel Earth for the 2010 season going into Wuze Valley. From the rough translation, “Mystic things have been remarked by the Wuze outside the city gates an in the sweet village Baumbergen. A strange creature on two large legs has been seen at the shore of the Mondsee (moon lake). Other citizens saw some sort of wings above Wuze Town as huge as airplanes and there are stories about green creatures comin out of the lake. But that is not enough - scary knocking and unexplainable hammering sounds can be heard everywhere...and near the City Wall of the Wuze even earth is moving, what makes the Wuze most wondering!” When you hover over the Wuzel Earth logo and use the magnifying glasses some interesting concept artwork is shown as well. Still… no hard news about what this is exactly. Anyone know more?

 

2011/2012 - New Attraction - Rumor - (1/15/10) The latest rumors about Phantasialand’s new attraction claim that the park will build a 13 meter tall building to house it in. Of course this doesn’t mean that they wont be doing any digging below the surface to increase the height where needed. I’ve also heard that to make room, the park will be removing a few older buildings as well as the queue for the Atlantis simulator.
    (1/14/10) A Screamscape source has sent in a strange piece of art that they claim is a Sneak Preview of an attraction on the way to Phantasialand. It seems that this new attraction will be highly themed in a way that would fit between the Old Berlin section of the park and the wild fantasy themed Wuze Town section, acting as a sort of bridge between the two themes. Judging from the look of the artwork, they may be going for some kind of Steam-Punk theme. Anyone know more?
