Unlikely to become a thing for Phantasialand with the way that the neighbours complain about all the noise. If this is something that you truly wish to experience you can join some coaster clubs that sometimes get ERT (Exclusive Ride Time) on some of the most beloved coasters in parks. Would normally be just before the park opens to the public or after it has closed.
Spent like 15 mins watching this thinking it fully had like 500k views bc the algorithm pushed it to me and only noticed when I read another comment 😂 great video!!
There interesting thing about Phantasialand is that despite featuring countless attractions and 8 roller coasters, the park itself is only a little over 9 Hektars in total space. It’s extremely „cramped“ when compared to most other theme parks, forcing a lot of vertical planning.
They're also not allowed to build higher than the treeline, that's why this park looks so flat overall. They made an incredible themepark with all these limitations.
@@xAciasx They theoretically can build above the teeline (mystery castle f.e.) however in that case, they’d need to install extensive noise protection for the surrounding residential area. They had to do the same when they built Colorado adventure, hence why the entire coaster is now surrounded by those artificial mountains. And since this is both expensive and difficult to theme, they’re circumnavigating this by quite literally digging down. China Town, the old part of Mexico and Wuztown are all on street level, Rookburg, Deep in Africa, the new part of Mexico and Klugheim are all beneath street level, in case of Klugheim more than 11 meters. I’ve never seen a theme park do this before, it’s mind blowing how they use every square meter available.
The whole park is so full of love for design and details and feeling. Was in Legoland Billund this week and came out and thought. Yeah. But I like Phantasialand more.
Anyone saying this is expensive for a room literally in the park with included admission, fast passes, dinner, exclusive night access etc, etc... has never stayed at Disney.
I’m the guy walking past you in that first clip of you in the entrance to the Hotel! I remember seeing you and wondering what you were filming about 😂 I was on my final day of a massive 8-park road trip through Germany! Great video man!
no wayyy that is so freaking funny that you happened to stumble upon this video 😂 I saw on your channel you went to Europapark too and I remember seeing a dude with a gopro strapped on his chest there, maybe that was you as well?? I was in Europapark from the 25th to 26th of June. Wish we could've hung out, maybe next time :D
@@reio_riisna If I'm honest, 600€ is a lot if you think about how small and cramped the room is. Normal entree to the park is about 60€ so you can subtract about 150€ (I added a bit extra since you get some special treatment as a hotel guest) and are still left with a whopping 450€ for two nights. I know other theme parks are also not cheap but at least the rooms are much bigger and feel a bit more... Special? If you plan on going for a trip there I recommand staying in Cologne or somewhere close for much less and then take some sightseeing on the side too! ;)
This park is like an hour away from me, it's nice to see it from an outside perspective. Also thanks algorithm, for bringing me here, definitely subscribing!
When watching the video, I realized: As a one-day guest of a theme park which has themed hotels you are missing "half of the truth", as you will not see the hotel rooms. 🥲
For those who think that the hotel room is a little small (like me) don't worry, the theme park has multiple hotels and the one in china-town area has larger rooms (sadly they aren't as themed, they are more like normal hotel rooms
yeah Phantasialand has its theming down to every last bit. The attention to detail is amazing. For Africa they for example even imported actual vases and decorations from Africa and build things authentic to the eye
I didn't know about the fact about Africa, but when I walked around that area it did seem extremely authentic which was so surprising and very immersive. Such a cool area and the lengths they go to make it as authentic as possible makes it even better!
@@reio_riisna It’s not only Africa, they did it for 1920s Berlin and China as well. If I remember correctly they even worked with Chinese architects to authentically re- build these structures inside the park and for Berlin you can see it with all the decor in Mouse au Chocolat for example. It‘s absolutely impressive. And fun fact the roller coaster Colorado Adventure was actually named by Michael Jackson who also visited the park I think there are still videos of him on- ride from back in the day in the late 90s🙏🏻
Bless the algorithm 😂 thank you so much for the good words! New Zealand is on my bucket list for countries to visit, so expect a video from when I'm there in... 3-4 years mby? 😅
I'm really glad more people are learning about Phantasialand, I've been to over 70 different theme and amusement parks and this one is by far my favorite.
I feel you. I grew up with visiting Phantasialand, it changed so often during the time. I am 36 now and every time I visit Phantasialand there is something new to discover. You can watch the history and the drastic changes in a lot of videos here. I wonder what is next to pop up and enchant the people.
Amazing video! Phantasialand is super special because its built in a really small space and they have no way to expand. Its super tightly packed and everything is interwoven. It feels so magical :D
Yt algorithm got me here aswell. I love ur authentic view and the curiosity about the things u see and experience. u have such a calm and relaxed personality. Keep up the great work! :) Greetings from Berlin.
Man what is yt algorithm smoking just push this channel out in the wild already. Epic video and the entire thing looks so awesome, only the pricing is expensive but the experience makes up for it surely hahah 14:45 Ryan Trahan reference? XD
hahaha nice catch at 14:45, yup :D I'm pretty sure this sentence is stuck in my head forever since his penny series days. Thank you for the good words, and yeah yt, get your shit together lmao (pls). The hotel is definitely not cheap, but most of the reviews you'll find online also say that it's 100% worth the price, man what an experience it was. Anyways thanks for your support and idc how many videos it takes, we'll get on the yt algorithm wave one day! :D
650€ for two night at a hotel, theme park tickets for 3 days, 3 dinners and 2 breakfasts. 200€ for rooms 200€ for tickets 60€ for dinner 40€ for breakfast Comes out to 500€ total. Then you add the fast passes, proximity to the park and the ability to explore the area after park closing, and it really isn't that expensive. Only a small premium overall.
Awesome Video! :D Phantasialand is definitely one of the best Themeparks, we have in Germany - it's not exactly my Number One, but at the top-3! :D I'll never forget, my wife, two of our friends and me went to Phantasialand - we chose a random day in the middle of the week. At the drive to Phantasialand we talked, that they finished the build of F.L.Y, but no one was knew, when they will open. We enjoyed the day and eventually, they called through the speakers, that they will soft-opening Rookburg and Fly NOW, so we walked to it and being one of the first maybe 200 Person, who drove with F.L.Y - it was an amazing feeling! But the Summernights in Asiatown are a little more magical (the park will close around 7 p.m than and reopens one hour later - not the whole park, I guess, but every time, it was an amazing evening with shows on Stage and so on...and especially the Winterevents are amazing, where they had snow falling from many of the buildings, everything is lightened like Christmas and the whole park gets an incredible feeling! :) Hope to see you someday in Phantasialand! :D
Thank you so much! And yess, I also visited Europapark right after Phantasialand, which was almost equally awesome to me (I was exhausted from the trip at that point, so couldn't enjoy it to the fullest). But Europapark is also definitely up there with the best theme parks in EU. And man, what a story to tell, that you were one of the first 200 people to ride F.L.Y.! That is so cool! And thanks for the tip about Asiatown. I'm definitely going back sometime for the Winterevents as I've heard so much positive about it. Catch you next time! :D
Everything about that experience is both superb and feels surreal. It really does make you forget the outside world completely and it feels very strange once you check-out of the hotel and leave and see the "real world" again.
Amazing video! The whole hearing coasters and screaming would be soothing… it reminds me there is excitement in the universe. Awesome video! It’s giving me some inspiration for planet coaster. 🎉❤
I you loved Phantasialand, you just have to visit Europa-Park in Rust, Germany for at least two days! It's an mindblowing and much larger park. There's always a debate wether Phantasialand or Europa-Park is the "best" park in Germany.
What debate? If it comes to adrenaline rush, than sure: Europa Park will beat Phantasialand with all those massive rides. But if it comes to themes and immersion Phantasialand just beats any other amusement park in existence to-date! Besides: Though lacking the height and adrenaline of other park's rides, Phantasialand got some of the longest going rides I know of.
@@bjornm.1121 Ithink Europa Park mainly points with amounts of attraction. Nothing in their compares to Taron or F.L.Y. or even Chiapas honestly. (Maybe the new coaster didnt have the honor of driving it yet)
I live 20-30 minutes away from the Phantasialand and I really enjoyed seeing someone visiting the park the first time and beeing so exited about it. Phantasialand really cares about being as immersive as possible, like the employees even wear themed clothes. I really enjoyed going there with family, friends or the school even I am not a big fan of rollercoasters.
very good video!! i have always loved theme parks and i currently have the honour of commisioning epic universe but when this project is done i think phantasialand is now one of the parks at the top of my list to go to 🎉 i hope to see more content
Was there at Phantasialand recently and was amazed. Great video and you’re quite funny and charming, too! Thinking of staying at the Charles Lindburgh hotel next week for my birthday. Keep up the great work!
Phantasialand is truly the best themed park in europe. The prices seem much, but it includes the entry for the days of stay + a very immersive Hotel + very high tier dinner + fast passes for f.l.y exclusively for Lindbergh guests + a really immersive experience in general. It's like you're in another world But you should also check out the other 2 themed hotels, they're neat, too
Yes! I've heard many people say the prices are actually quite cheap when compared to other theme parks that offer similiar hotel packages. But it is so worth it in either case! The other 2 hotels seem great as well yep, I was thinking of going again during the Winterevents and staying in one of these
@@reio_riisnahonestly been making ai art and using chatgpt to try and figure out what the hell one of my ideas, (a ride themed in the 1880s of a hunter vs the riders, who are riding a fictional extinct species fleeing away from the hunter.)
Phantasialand is my childhood. I live only an hour away from Brühl, so I've been there a lot. I love it there. It's cool to see a place in a video where you've been several times.
Pretty much enjoied your VLOG and also love staying in this hotel myself. I did so already many many times. I'm curious about the full theme park video you mentionned. *This one is nicely done - Keep it up!*
Thank you so much for the good words, I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it! And yeah I've just started working on the video where I talk more about the overall park, but also 3 other theme parks I visited during my EU trip. Will be out in 2 weeks or so :)
That's my childhood park! I haven't been there in ages, but when I was young we were there pretty much every year. They still had the old Western themed area when I was there last. But I am super glad you liked your stay there. It is awesome to see a small park, not owned by some big franchise or media mogul getting the love it deserves for the excellent job they do in terms of theming and using the small space available to its full potential! I also think the hotel seems to be worth it, even though it is pretty expensive it seems to be a step above what other parks offer at the moment in terms of Immersion and stuff that is included.
Super cool and well done video! Stayed there recently, I was in room C-56 I believe. For me, it's the best theme park I've ever been to. Even beats out Europa-Park, both in terms of rides and theming and I can't wait to get back there in the winter. Looking forward to more content! :)
As a coaster enthusiast this park is world renowned for this theming. Incredible looking park. F.L.Y looks insane. Beautiful theming. Happy you enjoyed.
This brought back so many memories of my visit last year. I didn't stay at Charles Lindbergh but at Hotel Matamba instead, which was pretty awesome too, but much less themed & less expensive than this one. But watching this makes me want to plan another visit to Phantasialand, & when I do I'd be sure to stay at Charles Lindbergh. Looks so cool!
I am so happy you enjoyed your stay there! I also love that piece of magic a loooot. I also love all the beers and tastings, but also the conversations with the bar keeper aka beer somelier in the bar 1919. We yearly spend minimum a night and two days there, but visit the park a few more times and stay in other hotels around the park. 🙂nice video
Thanks! I was so surprised to find out in the comment sections here how nice and friendly the theme park enthusiasts community is, I feel very welcomed! There will be one more video on theme parks in the next couple of weeks and I'll possibly do more in the future, but overall I post videos on anything I find interesting and you're welcome to stay! :D
@@reio_riisna I subscribed, so looking forward to any videos youre going to posted. :) You should deffo check out the "Wintertraum" in Phantasialand, if you liked the cozy feeling you were getting in the evening.
Charles Lindbergh is one of my life dreams! F.L.Y. is with a big lead my favorite coaster ever and I could almost cry just thinking about it 😭 it looks SO GOOD 😭
Looked like you had such a great time! There’s no theme parks near me at all, but my most favourite one in the whole world is De Efteling! It’s sort of similar to Phantasialand, but located in the Netherlands :) It’s my dream to stay there for a few days just like you have, and I’m hoping to do that next year, in the second half of 2025. Love from Australia!
My favourite theme park in Germany is the Europapark but my wife who likes the shows in the parks the most likes Phantasialand the most. My most beloved ride is in Phantasialand, though (Taron)
What a great video, I have not been in Phantasialand for quite some time, so I do not know the new coasters. Another great German themepark would be the "Europa-Park" in Rust if you are still feeling the itch.
I love the whole steampunk cramped futuristic style. Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris is like that with Jules Verne, HG wells theming when I worked there but it’s starting to get more and more Star Wars themed
Bro how have you not been there yet, I was sure every person in Germany has visited this park 😂 but yes, definitely recommend going at least once just for the experience!
watched this video and was assuming you had >100k subscribers based on the quality of the video. You are super underrated! Keep up the good work, this is very high quality and I'm sure you will get lots of new subscribers soon!
Charles Lindbergh hotel is fantastic. Spent a night in there last October on a theme park tour across Germany and the Netherlands. The place has amazing theming and the lighting in winter is awesome. Taron and Fly are the big draw but there are plenty of rides for all to enjoy. Certainly well worth a visit. Managed to squeeze in Europa Park, Tripsdrill, Phantasialand, Movie park, Toverland and De Efteling in week. Missed out on Walibi due to traffic but a mega trip. It's a hard life being a theme park development engineer and having to test so many rides. lol.
how the heck did you manage to do so many theme parks in a week??? hahaha. I did Energylandia, Efteling, Phantasialand and Europapark in 2 weeks and I was DEAD after just one park 💀 also, can I have your job, hehe
@@reio_riisna We squeezed movie park and Tripsdrill into one day. I know a few guys at Europapark for the "Engineers backstage pass" so we got on most rides in one day. In our team, we are all ride guys, so we are almost immune to G forces but to be honest, we were all pretty broken after a week. The bad thing is we will go on some rides 5 or 6 times in a row. I went front row, back row and middle on Fly and Taron. We went in October thinking it will be quiet, but the weather was amazing, so most parks were busy. Most of the time the job is very difficult, bringing amazing, safe attractions to life. But the rewards are bringing Joy and happiness to millions of people, even if the joy is for a short period of time, and that is priceless.
Great video! Just one thing: you correctly said that there are 6 areas, but then you mentioned 7. 😉 In fact, Rookburgh is part of Old Berlin, just like Klugheim is part of Mystery. Glad you had a great experience in my home park. 🤗
Actually I can highly recommend to stay at the chinese themed hotel in Phantasialand. The hotel has much more spacious rooms for lesser prices. Sure: you won't have the same experience of being that close to the attractions. But the mood and atmosphere in the hotel is well worth it.
I actually spent the night in that exact same room about 2 years ago! Agreed with basically everything and I still think that being able to walk around at night is one of the coolest things I've ever done in a theme park.
You stayed in exactly the same cabin as I did two years ago!!!! It is awesome! My husband loved it. In Winter you could watch the mapping show on Mystery Castle from there. As a recommendation for nerds: Most cabins in Gates B and C are great!!! I can also recommend Gate A as it is closer to the entrance and still has an awesome view over Rookburgh, while the back side faces old Berlin and Deep in Africa. Makes up for awesome views, too. Gates D and E are mostly closed during the lower seasons, so you are likely to have a good cabin.
8:40 everyone is staring at you because 1. It are germans, they stare and 2. It is not very common to hear someone speak English and also walk around with a camera haha
The ride outside the hotel is insane… you have to go through a metal detector and a pat down to make sure you ain’t going on it with anything in pockets… which I’ve never seen at any other parks
4:38 Pause that image, and look at the big walls in the back. Those are noise walls to block the sound. On the left of those walls is Wuze town (An indoor part with some rides). But if you go behind those noise walls about 60m then there are residential homes!
It‘s a lot of Money for a very small room! For nearly the same Money you get a realy big room in the Hotel Ling Bao in the Phantasialand inkl. 2 Days Entry. The Hotel has a Pool and Sauna inclusive and a Chinese Garden with a real chilling atmosphere! If you have a room on the side of the Park on the first and second floor, you have a realy nice sight all over the Park. When I saw your Room in the Charles Lindbergh I get a little bit claustrophobic! Greetings from a german Phantasialand Fan!
This is a normal price for nealy all of germanys theme park. Ive often stayed at Heidepark and Moviepark with my girlfriend (without kids). Its one of the chilled vacation expirences when the park is closed. You can still walk through most of the park an can talk to the actors and showmen, going in a bunch of pubs, go to spa areas and the Heidepark has some clubs and special dance events like a Victorian ball night. And its all in the price.
Congrats on your most watched video! I have idea for more: Make GPT command you for entire day by prompting it to live life. Then request definitive choices about what to do next, what to do now, what to eat and etc. While it likely would make a generic lifestyle, it could also bring some surprises! 🧠
I live 10 minutes away from this park. People are staring at you because here in Germany no one is quite used to people recording themselves out in the open. 😅 I'm happy you enjoyed my childhood park!
If you haven't yet you should really go to the Efteling in the netherlands, great theme park with different, very cozy hotels and cottages to choose from :) Anyways awsome video!
