When Rookburgh was built, as many will fondly remember I'm sure, a large wall was created between it and the Fantasy area. Along with these works, a pedestal for what many speculated would be a future new flat ride, was created. However it was then used for preview displays about Rookburgh until...

No the renovation/retrack project will be after the opening of the BigDipper to take the crowds/capacity in that section of the park. When after though remains unknown.

They aren’t removing the country or anything else as said in the post. Russia is not “cancelled”. It will remain. Simply the flag won’t be proudly displayed over the main entrance it seems.

The Adventure Land (African area) and Dschungel Flossfahrt retheme have also been brought up here a few times. The park confirmed the area will become part of an Austrian area expansion. The Flossfahrt boat ride will become "Josefinas Kaiserliche Zauberreise" (Josefinas Imperial Magic Journey)...

RideOnBlog.de have also just shared some new looks at the Africa Project. https://www.rideonblog.com/vor-ort/phantasialand/2022/a-look-ahead-at-phantasialand

As well as the departures in the Fantasy area; a couple of other changes are in store at Phantasialand this year it seems. Since the off season began some usual work has been taking place in the 'Deep in Africa' area. An opening was made in the external street wall (whether just for site access...

Efteling have now registered a trademark for "Danse Macabre" suggesting the project name may stick as the ride's actual name. https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/19097/Efteling-registreert-Danse-Macabre-als-merknaam-voor-nieuwe-attractie.html

Mentions of Blue Fire’s sponsorship have been removed from the park website today.

The Gazprom (being a company founded and majority owned by the Russian Government) partnership has always been questionable and come under some criticism. 2020’s move to rebrand the hall at Blue Fire to promote their Nord Stream 2 project was a clear propaganda move/trying to present a positive...

Yes. Given it adds nothing of value with such rides already being in the line up - they aren't as mentioned by Trax nicely presented like Baa Express in EP or so. There's a big quality gap. Instead of another random Jr Coaster in Sweet Valley why couldn't that money have been spent making the...

She's coming down. Also in the background you can see how a number of surrounding trees have been cut down, the TraumzeitDome removed and the Ikarus ballon carousel is almost totally dismantled. All this is making way for the BigDipper and new Croatia themed area. Sources the Twitter...

Was always quite shallow. Don't think there has been (or will be) any filling in. On the left the African Queen guide rails are still in place on the lake bed.

Along with the attraction removals previously mentioned - the satellite dish which decoratively stood beside Russia is being cut up and removed too for the new coaster. And the TV show venue beside it is also being relocated to make way. Thomas Mack has also shared some insights to the...

Seems they will keep the same kind of theme/atmosphere with the new attraction and keep the music. The project code name is Danse Macabre. https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/18776/Efteling-houdt-vast-aan-thema-Spookslot-vervangende-attractie-heeft-werktitel-Danse-Macabre.html

Looks like the old exit shop shared by Studio Tour and Excalibur was demolished. Perhaps just a new better/bigger/in studio theme shop?

Statement from the park's guest service team confirming Hollywood Tour is closed. Phantasialand’s maze Baumberger Irrgarten (behind Crazy Bats/Hollywood and opposite the entrance to Wakobato) has been removed from their website. And it is reported on PhantaFriends.de that it currently is...

This is the thing. It is a massive bit of land for the park. Plus in the 2015 moderation for the expansion the neighbours association pushed for a building on the maze behind Bats/Hollywood to act as a sound and visual barrier to the expansion plans on the opposite side of the road behind. If...

Phantasialand have removed the last mentions of Hollywood Tour completely from their website. Likely confirming its suspected end. The 1990 Intamin boat dark ride closed mid season in 2020 after an incident with water damage in the show building. Both the ride and Fantissima dinner show theatre...

Despite the start of two new construction sites (BigDipper and AdventureLand) the major off season projects at Eurosat and Poseidon continue too. And the new park branded bus shelter at nearby Ringsheim train station is taking shape with a creative reuse of a former ride car.

As said just the section that the Tüv require modified and allegedly the first drop as well.
