_koppen Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Tobi from the Phantafriends forum, who created and updated his model of Klugheim to show how construction was progressing, has started a new model! This guy seriously needs to meet a girl or something.
CSLKennyNI Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 ROOKBURGH Phantasialand have applied to copyright the name: Rookburgh. Could this be the name of the new area/attraction currently being built on the site of Race for Atlantis? However the name does sound very Klugheim-ish/Medieval so some on the forum PhantaFriends are suggesting two things: 1. River Quest might be renamed as part of its Klugheim retheme. 2. A Klugheim themed hotel with possible sites being the land the park own behind Kaiserplatz and the temporary plant wall in Klugheim, or on part of the mystery car park - for the 2017 the park has built behind Ling Bao a massive dedicated area for parking buses which would free up some space on the current car parks. Or it could be be something else entirely! Hopefully some more details will come soon or when the park opens next month. http://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/owners/144666
Projektion Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I'd probably think a new hotel is more fitting because of the "-burgh" suffix. I'd think a medieval themed hotel could fit in pretty snugly behind Klugheim.
CSLKennyNI Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Phantasialand have posted these sneak peak images on Facebook with a caption saying that they are adding more detail to the theming of Klugheim.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 LOL, seriously? More themeing?! That's awesome!
CSLKennyNI Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 From Phantasialand's Facebook page. They posted this photograph along with a caption saying their off season mission to make their finished attractions even more finished is underway. Seems Chiapas is also getting some new theming work. Together with the last phase of the River Quest's retheme/refurbishment, the second phase of redoing the rockwork around Black Mamba, additional theming in Klugheim and construction for 2018 they are certainly busy this off season.
CSLKennyNI Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 https://freizeitparknewsnrw.de/news...ys-phantasialand-feiert-seinen-50-geburtstag/ To mark the park's 50th birthday Phantasialand will have 4 celebration days in the summer. For 4 Saturdays, 2 in July and 2 in August, the park will be open from 9am to midnight! With extra entertainment and a fireworks display each night.
DaveDowning Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Update from Phantasialand on the new theming of RiverQuest (quite sure that name will stay). Sadly, no English blog, but the pictures speak for themselves. https://phantasialandblog.de/river-quest-in-stein-gemeisselt/
CSLKennyNI Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Update from Phantasialand on the new theming of RiverQuest (quite sure that name will stay). I agree there. I doubt they'd keep referring to it as River Quest in these blog posts if that wasn't going to be it's name when it reopens in April. River Quest is also rather well known a name change might confuse people.
CSLKennyNI Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Rocks, rocks and more rocks. From Phantasialand's Facebook. Some more new theming in Klugheim.
flaffstar Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 And another "update" picture of Klugheim. I guess it will be some sort of terrace for the Restaurant. Phantasialand is going absolutely crazy with Klugheim... source: https://www.facebook.com/phantasialand/photos/a.150963758276130.20669.136916409680865/1379447998761027/?type=3&theater
TheoB Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Accident occured earlier today on Winjas, not sure which track. He was maintaining the track and I believe was struck by a car, all sources I have found have been really unclear however this is from @kirmes_entertainment on Instagram. Related article I found: www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/ga-english/58-year-old-dies-in-accident-at-Phantasialand-article3508480.html
DoinItForTheFame Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 ^ Oh no. My thoughts are with his family. Always sad to hear of a death, especially when it's at a theme park.
TheoB Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 ^ Oh no. My thoughts are with his family. Always sad to hear of a death, especially when it's at a theme park. Agreed, just found out more details, he was crushed to death by an elevator. Haven't got a written source but its probably on like Kirmes.
flaffstar Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 More off-season updates from their Facebook Page: Chiapas recieved a new entrance portal! More rockwork in the Africa area And a new transition between the Chiapas area and Talocan; there was a dead end until now And I don't really know why, but they added a boat to river quests theming.
RCT3Bross Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 It looks like they're finishing up some things left behind. Took them only 4 years to connect two paths a meter away from one other. Also love that boat always love it when "real" items get used for theming.
Henry M Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 This improvement to themeing is exactly why I chose this park to be the one I visit in April. I can hardly name any parks which put so much effort into such amazing and exquisite detail to the park, never mind one which every year keeps adding and adding to the rides to make them better! Every park I have been to before seems to make a ride, then think they are done. Maybe a re-theme, but mostly everything is left to loose color, effects become outdated or brake, and a thin to thick layer of mold covers everything. This park looks to take amazing care over all rides, which is amazing to see. As I will be visiting during the Easter holidays (during the week) I expect it will be busy on my visit. I am saving Taron for the evening ERT, so what ride should I head to first and second upon opening to reduce my queues?
FirstDropJay Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 As I will be visiting during the Easter holidays (during the week) I expect it will be busy on my visit. I am saving Taron for the evening ERT, so what ride should I head to first and second upon opening to reduce my queues? I'd head to either Chiapas (if the weather is good) or the Winja's first, as the queues really fill up fast when the park gets crowded. Advantage of doing both Winja's first is that you'll be pretty much done with that area of the park for quite a while....Temple of the Night Hawk and (especially) Hollywood Tour are often walk-ons. Personally my first rides would be Winja's Fear & Force, Chiapas and Black Mamba, in that order.
Henry M Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks, I will probably do that! Not sure about good weather, but I know spinning coasters can have a low capacity. I did not think of Winjas first, but it makes sense.
flaffstar Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 It might be in german, but this a very interesting video for all the real coaster geeks among you
Henry M Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Here are some more pictures of some more awesome themeing going into this park. Stunned yet again. These were found on the Facebook page. A new gate going up. A magical area becoming even more special. Workers in the rain. And finished! This looks great.
