You assume incorrectly. It's just a screenshot, and all it shows is how a brick wall in real life looks similar to the animation? Also, it's on the bottom left, just to prevent further confusion
Given that this project has a hotel opening within it, I would hope that we would see more than 3 weeks notice on the opening date of the area, given that people need time to book their flights and book into the hotel for the first few weeks that the area is open. If they only announce the opening date 3 weeks in advance to the hotel being open, I would expect they would have a lot of empty rooms for the first couple of weeks in the hotel as people can't book time off with that short notice (at least I can't anyway).
They've been advertising it as a whole themed world. I would be very shocked if it didn't all open at the same time given the way it's been marketed. Phantasialand are all about the experience; I've got the Rookburgh gazette at home and the way it's marketed indicates all the different aspects of the area will be integrated into one another, therefore I would be very surprised if the hotel and coaster had different opening dates.
Also worth mentioning that the restaurant in the hotel also serves as a restaurant for park guests during the day and in the evening, so I expect it all to open at the same time, providing the full experience.

As JammyH said its been consistently marketed as a total package/one big project and physical the infrastructure is so intertwined can't imagine them not opening at the same time. Only thing I could see is the hotel officially opening slightly later; to give them a soft-open/test phase for the staff.
Feel its been covered before but I can totally understand why an opening date announcement already would be silly. Of course they have a date but if it gets pushed back even slightly by a week or something it is negative press.
They want to make sure it will actually be finished to a high standard and ready to go for guests. Especially if people are booking the new hotel never mind just visiting for the coaster.
Its better than having loads of disappointed guests when there's a delay or technical difficulties with the prototype coaster and then needing to give refunds.
Or rushing to finish it and opening something with a disappointing finish (e.g. CanCan Coaster at EP when it first opened in 2018 - thankfully with the new 2019 theming its great now - but the initial negative response hurt them badly and caused a ****storm behind the scenes among management).
Provided nothing goes terribly wrong it will certainly be open come this summer so anyone desperate to book a trip just plan for Autumn or Winter; or just have some patience. Its been years, a couple more months won't kill anyone.

For all fans of wall pictures... a new image of a huge hatch on the outer hotel metal wall showed up over at phantafriends.de

Okay. I get it. Brian can be a bit much. But I CAN'T believe you all hate him so much you guys act as if TESTING FOOTAGE is the most boring thing in the world. I genuinely feel like if it were any other member people would be freaking out because, need i remind you, TESTING MEANS PROGRESS of which we haven't seen much lately apart from some wall updates.
Does Brian 'know everything there is about coasters'? Probably not, Does Phantasialand actually have a planning for this project? Most likely. I'm not saying everything Brian says should be taken seriously. But glossing over the first proof we have of this thing actually coming to life? He even took some effort to line it up to the trailer footage.
All in all, thanks Brian for the footage. At least it gets my hype train moving more than another wall update. (Despite the fact the most recent wall update is indeed quite interesting because it looks like there might be a zeppelin after all.)

So the metal thing is going to be the Hotel Entrance it seems.
Can't see it getting a zepelin though

^The photo from the above link. The entrance portal receiving its signage, and the metal hatch theming element that's been installed - reminiscent of the tube rooms perhaps? Plus I wonder if the middle bit will light up at night?
Shat‘s exactly what I thought.. ?
Calm down! They’re only responsible for making signs and Advertising Letters
