Yesterday the park appeared to do some filming of Rookburgh, as vaguely seen from this photo:

Hiring a special crew with fantastic drones would make more sense indeed.

A while ago a Carpenter working on hotel Charles Lindbergh posted this picture on his Instagram (the picture is now obviously deleted), does this mean we're going to have a terrace right under F.L.Y.?

If we go on like this we will get the record!

Wow, but where did you find the picture in that case? ...oh, maybe in this thread ?
I think this is a solid working hypothesis.

I found them on the carpenter's Instagram account a few days ago!

Ah, don't worry, I was just trying to be funny, never mind...
(If you go back a few pages you find the pictures and some discussion about it in this thread.)

Whoops, my bad.
I just made my account and havent read all the pages xD
I never thought it looked bad, but I'm starting to like it more and more, it looks awesome!
I‘m not particularly into the steampunk stuff. I get the sense of it tho and can understand why a lot of people are fans of it. I don’t hate it but I’m not blood & bones for it. But I‘m also not that much into medieval theming either. Still I‘m always amazed when I enter Klugheim. I love the feel and atmosphere inside of it. So I‘m positive that Rookburgh will be able to cause a similar feeling.

It's easier because it's also very unoriginal, though. I'd hate for Phantasialand to become a mini Epcot.

This is what’s looks like when Phantasialand is doing a country theme, and this looks ugly af.
I think you misunderstood. Oliver probably meant an actual country or continent theme like Afrika, Mexico, Antarctica etc
I mean at the end of the day Phantasialand already have Afrika, alt-Berlin, mexiko and China (soon to become Asia supposedly).
There’s europa park just down the road who’s whole park is themed to different countries around Europe...
If phantasialand were to make new areas themed to countries it would be somewhat unoriginal and would make them fail to stand out to their major competitor 4 hours south of them. That’s why I think lately they’ve been so heavily focussing on improving the fantasy area, introducing Klugheim a medieval village and now rookburgh, another imaginary steampunk world. The park is about immersion and taking the guests to this imaginary world, it’s less about realism and trying to create real life places which is what europa park and Epcot are more trying to achieve.
I really like the way Phantasialand are moving forwards, some areas themed to countries which brings you the realism and detail of real life like Africa and Asia and makes you feel like you are exploring the world, but the park also takes you away to imaginary lands such as wuze Tal and klugheim which really immerse you and really take you out of this world and make you forget about day to day life. I think rookburgh will really help with that, it’s going to be a land full of detail and immersion, I really hope we won’t know where to look when we are inside.

Wow, it somehow looks way better in the first picture, before River Quest was around.
And holy sh*t, I never realised how much better River Quests Elevators look now. I've been going to the park for years, but seeing older pictures really showed me again how much they have improved their theming!
