I’m intrigued how this will all work “in land”. From all the construction pictures, with those massive walls to the compactness of the layout and area, I hope you’ll still get good sightlines. I feel as if it’ll be too ‘busy’? I hope the set pieces arn’t obscured from view too much because of all the chaos of the layout.

As far as I know (my last insights are ~ 1 month old), you won't have much to block your view on the insight. You have the bridge in the middle, thats pretty much it. The rest is mostly on the outside walls, except for the coaster of course.

It looks a bit small

It looks a bit small

Maybe because it’s just a mock-up and not a real 25m Balloon

 

[Hixee]

They've haven't inflated it yet...

Bit disappointed they needed a crane, should have just floated it in.

And this is where the hot air balloon has landed:

I'd seen a report they were trying to install this new bit of theming in a novel way but just ruled it out as a load of hot air.

Must have been a pricey bit of theming when you adjust it for inflation

Something something WALLS.

Finished in Literally Years

No, it can’t be that. It’ll never be finished as the track will keep falling into disrepair.

As Walt Disney once said himself: "Phantasialand will never completed. It will continue to grow as long as there are walls left in the world."

I'm thoroughly enjoying all these balloon puns ?

 

[Antinos]

Looks like they're really putting all their eggs in one balloon basket with this theming.

Fingers crossed, although - i'm still not counting on it opening this year.
I've been holding out booking a visit to Phantasialand for a couple of years now and will only be making the plunge when F.L.Y. has opened and been operating for a few weeks.
