To further the discussion surrounding the opening of Rookburgh. Chris Theis, executive assistant in Phantasialand, is co-host of the Bleib Neugierig podcast and in the latest episode today he does hesitantly address the situation.
Of course as previously discussed we don't know when work will be finished. It was to be completed and open this month and depsite work having continued throughout the lockdown did slow and delay things. Tripsdrill's project was due to open in Spring and likely won't open until late June now (no date has been confirmed though). Europa Park's Batavia was set to open late June and will now be opening end of July hopefully.
Seemingly though the park are not in a rush to open it as soon as it is completed. Firstly from the podcast episodes recently you can hear how busy and preoccupied management have been and still are dealing with the reopening and monitoring and adapting the safety measures. Secondly it sounds as if they want more normality to return before opening it up. I'd guess they want people to enjoy it as (or as close as possible) it was intended.
It doesn't rule out this year just yet. We obviously don't know how the virus will develop and what the coming months will bring if a second wave comes later in the year you can forget about it until 2021. But as things currently stand the ban on mass gatherings ends 31. August in Germany. So I'd say at the earliest a September opening could be feasible. With Wintertraum that'd still give them a decent run before summer season 2021 and all the additional income from the hotel (which lets be honest for the business is the more important part of this project).
For instance if September did work out and the construction delay was only, like Batavia in EP, a month taking you until end of July that would only be 1 month it would need to be mothballed.
So its a lets and wait see approach from the park seemingly. Although of course important to keep in mind this is not an official park statement.

Off topic, but does anyone know anything about the parks Intamin Zac Spin, Wuzeball?
Has anyone here seen it or ridden it? It’s one of the Phantasialand rumours that has always interested and confused me.

Just quoting this so I can boost about how I was correct after all
Yeah it's there, but you have to perform a forbidden ritual to for it to appear. DM me for instructions.

Was that not a joke marker someone put on google maps?

It's possible to take a joke too far. Seriously, replacing the names of everything isn't actually that funny.

To surprise a group of enthusiasts on a random visit, just after lunch and the question time.
There would of course be that one person very cross that it messed up their milestone in the next couple of days who throws their spreadsheet onto the ground and it shatters everywhere making a mess and insulting the hosts. This is why we can't have nice things.

Its not a real. Just a TowersStreet joke. There's is literally no where in Wuze Town or around for anything to be hidden, least of all a coaster.

Ah photography from Colorado Adventure... you would think enthusiasts should know better than to violate the safety rules on rollercoasters.
Anyway yes as Transporter posted yesterday it is the RG emblem of the 'Rookburgh Steam Company' as seen in the teaser trailer and on the model case.
