Well, they did it to that white facade as well, when i was on Colorado Adventure last Sunday i could see that they rebuilt all the scaffolding around it (after it was supposedly 'done' for what, a year now?) and started working on it again, adding rusty chimneys, pipes and stuff

? Jokes aside, it does look quite tall doesn't it? The coaster itself doesn't really go over the building you can see in the front. Source: NRW-Parks

It would certainly be a missed opportunity. Technically there are no connections needed since every hotel tower has it's own connection to an elevator, staircase and the hotel entrance. But speaking of the hotel, the fifth tower is now rising: You can see here on the left how it curves...

Yes, along the street there is a concrete foundation that has the same footers in it that have been used for those big steel towers / wall near fantasy. You can somewhat see the placement here:

Some screenshots i took from this video that shows the construction, seems to be quite recent footage (you can actually spot people working on this thing, who knew :p)

Well, the trains used for testing at the vekoma site were also black with maroon-colored seats, and since they also reused the track, that may have been part of the final design (with some extra theming added maybe) With trains supposedly there, trackwork done, hotel nearing (structural)...

Those are the two "inversions": Back to the construction site, the hotel is getting its 4th floor at the moment: Also Vekoma is on site currently, working on finishing F.L.Y., like installing all the sensors and stuff: Source: Google Maps and Phantafriends

Looks like a double Gerstlauer Skyfly in the How to train your dragon area:

They will be much longer, the stations (just the onload) length is about 28 meters. They need to be really long as well if they want to have some form of acceptable capacity, with 2 people per row and a lot of space between rows for the turning mechanism. (Just take another look at the Vekoma...

Google Earth has updated it's imagery. This new sattelite image is from april 2019, where they just completed the track: Since the older image was from April 2018 we can have a nice 1-year comparison:

Not quite, the entrance is just to the left of that, it even says Berlin at the top.

Looks like the rooms itself do come prefabricated after all?

Thanks for the great image, @Gehirnfurz! You can clearly see that Hotel construction has started, with the first rooms already in place. Seems like the one on the right already has 2 full floors. (Images removed by admin on request of Phantasialand)

I thought the same, the area underneath looks predestined for a water-area. Some sort of water spurting steampunk boiler.

Are they only running 3 or less trains? They only use the unload platform when running 4 trains. Taron had a lot of train problems these last days, probably because of the wheels melting again in the heat.

Now that the track is closed we can finally move back to wall updates. The right part of the big wall is getting it's first layer of concrete: Also a brand new part of facade-framework has gone up over here: So expect a lot of exciting wall adventures in the next couple of weeks. :eek...

Won't be installed before tuesday because of the easter holidays.

Also a slightly better picture of it was posted on Phantafriends.de:

Are you sure it's just pictures? Almost looks like a model of the new area. Damn you Phantasialand for making it hard to take pictures. ;) Source
