Phantasialand Expansion Planning Procedure Commences
- Thread starter CSLKennyNI
- Start date
I have to admit that I am not quite convinced. To be fair, the Phantasialand interpretation of the fantasy-style was never my cup of tea to begin with, but this just looks so artifical. Most material used is simply concrete that is made to look like something else, combined with extremely bright colours.
Even most of the roof is made out of concrete, which just looks off to me.
Maybe I have to see this one in person to appreciate it.
The play area will fade over time, removing one of my criticisms from that. Look at the first images of Klugheim, that area used to pop as well. But the interior will likely remain as vibrant as it is right now.

Same source now has the poster from outside.
I sense there has been some mistranslation on the previous claim of "world's first" and it's simply referring to the premier of an exclusive new film.

This park can do no wrong, not even ridden it yet but I know its a world first, iconic attraction

The attraction uses "the world's first Sound-Transparent Passive 3D LED Technology" the head of park operations has said on his instagram. Product trailer for that: https://vimeo.com/1115504200
An overview of the new technology being used from the website.
The new SFX motion seats in the cinema are custom stylised and feature the Resident Theatre logo.
While the queue features some Easter eggs for previous PHL media attractions like Pirates 4D and the old simulator Galaxy. Also some Maus au Chocolat references.

Despite it not really being a "worlds first", I must admit it does look like a great upgrade on what was once there and another solid addition for the younger audience in the park. This has got me thinking though...
A lot of Phantasialand's latest additions have all been family/children orientated (Africa trail, Avoras, small play area in D.I.A, and the latest 'wavy battle' in the Fantasy area. Whilst all of these small additions have been excellent and added even more charm to this already amazing park, I'm starting to think it might soon be time for them to invest in a major new family/thrill attraction again. Rookburgh & F.L.Y. opened up just over 5 years ago, and I can't help but feel that Phantasialand is now due another BIG attraction very soon

Also I remember reading on these forums about them trying to acquire land next to the theme park to build a waterpark.. whats going on with that.
No but that's the creativity that makes the park so cool.
Crazy Bats is approaching 40 years of age and the Omnimover is even older so that's two potential locations for major replacements.

Yes they are/were trying to do that, but the neighbours are against those plans.
I don't know if those plans are fully cancelled or if they are stored, to be resurrected later

They needed State approval to acquire the land, and then local Brühl council approval for the planning permission.
The council had been on-board for years but the State not. Then the state finally agreed to sell the land to the park in 2023, however by that time the political parties in power in the council changed and were anti-expansion. So despite overcoming that great State hurdle things had stalled.
There was a new election just a few weeks ago with a pro PHL party coming out on top, although they will need to form a coalition to have a voting majority, so it remains to be seen if the new council next year will finally allow planning approval to progress. But things are potentially looking good.

A coalition has been reached for the city council, and it seems like the park's planning application will be considered now.
No, it won't. The coalition agreement is nothing but a string of meaningless words.Stadtrat: CDU und SPD in Brühl bilden neues Mehrheitsbündnis

Green light given to initiate the planning procedure for Phantasialand’s expansion
After previously blocking this step, and even postponing a May meeting on it, Brühl council made the decision yesterday finally to commence with the planning process. This collaborative procedure will see the city conduct a final assessment determining if and how development may take place.
Phantasialand must now create and submit precise construction plans - including numerous environmental expert reports paid for by the park - which the city will use to draw up a zoning plan for the area, after which the council will make the final decision whether to grant planning permission or not.
The 18 hectares of land in question for expansion were chosen by the political process of the last two decades and made available by the state of NRW. At a public forum recently the park made clear it was not their preferred option but they have to work with and respect the democratic process that has led to this being the only option on the table. Should the expansion proceed, the park is contractually obligated to afforest a compensatory area of approximately 38 hectares.
Despite this environmental protestors have vowed to continue to fight the planning process. A protest of 200 people were outside the council building when the decision was made yesterday.
The park has been seeking expansion space to develop themselves as a short stay resort, in line with many others in the industry, to stay competitive, expand in a controlled manner and eventually open all year round. The land in question is destined to become a multi-storey parking facility with a new and improved access road to the resort, a events/theatre venue, additional hotel capacity and a second gate water park.
The current parking area opposite Berlin used by Hotel Matamba & Hotel Lindbergh has had planning permission for theme park attractions since 2004 - the new parking facility in the expansion will hopefully allow this land to be freed up finally and used. Likely also serving as a new entrance and connection hub between the theme park & expansion area.
The 20 year battle to expand seemed hopeless for quite some time but there’s been a few progressive steps which seemed unthinkable before. But the threat of challenges from the environmentalists should probably not be underestimated as a major blocking point. Until the diggers roll in on “Brülantica” nothing seems certain.

Nach langem Hin und Her - kommt jetzt doch die umstrittene Phantasialand-Erweiterung?
Lange hat die Stadt Brühl diskutiert - jetzt hat sie grünes Licht für eine Prüfung des Freizeitpark-Ausbaus gegeben.
