News & Rumors

 

PHANTASIALAND
Germany

 

 

Park News - (11/28/11) Demolition work in the Western City area has begun. See the 2013 report below for details.

 

icon_STOP2012 - New Attraction - (1/16/12) I’m hearing that a new attraction of some kind of coming to Phantasialand in 2012… just not in place of the removed Wildwasserbahn log ride. Given the lack of new construction so far, if something is coming, I’d expect it to be on the small side.

 

icon_STOP2013 - Western City Replacement - In Progress - (1/16/12) The latest rumors from Phantasialand indicate that the eventual replacement for the removed log ride is expected to be a new highly themed water ride of some kind to open in 2013. The ride is said to feature both indoor and outdoor sections, and is likely to interweave with sections of the Colorado Adventure coaster, much like the Wildwasserbahn that it will replace. The rumors are not specific about what kind of ride this may be… if it could just be a more modern flume ride or perhaps something more like a water coaster style ride, though it just might have more of a Mexican theme.
    (1/10/12) RCPro has posted a nice new photo update from Phantasialand showing off the latest demolition pictures of the park’s log flume and scenic removal of much of the park’s Western themed land.
    (12/13/11) New demolition work photos from Phantasialand have been posted to TheParks.it, as the work crews lay waste to an entire attraction area to make way for something new. It’s a virtual log-ride graveyard in there.
    (11/28/11) It has been reported that Casa Magnetica at Phantasialand has been completely torn down, and the nearby log flume has also been walled off and the wreckers have started demolition work in there as well. You can see some of the demolition pictures posted over at Freizeitparkweb.de. Given the scale here, it appears that the park has something very large in mind to go in to replace the western section of the park which most likely wont be ready until 2013.
    (8/31/11) Screamscape sources tell us that starting sometime in early 2012, Phantasialand is planning on removing the “western city” area, including Casa Magnetica and Little Joe’s restaurant in order to put in a new themed area with new attractions. The Silverado Theater (Stunt Show) will also be demolished from what I’m told. No word on what may be on the way in 2013 to justify all this demolition.

 

icon_STOP2014/2015 - New Attraction - (1/16/12) Once the rumored new water ride opens in 2013, I’m hearing that the park may be planning on removing the SilberMine dark ride during the next off season for another new project in 2014/2015. Anyone else know more?
