The zeppelins are still stored. And the part of this video, you can see some people working on the area.

Other interesting things I noticed: there seems to be some kind of railroad tracks on top of the first launch. You can even see a locomotive with a wagon on them. However the last piece of track points straight up to the sky, as if the locomotive is gonna jump over it like over a ramp.
It says "Fernsicht" (?) on the roof of the restaurant "Uhrwerk", and binoculars are depicted next to it.
You can clearly see connecting bridges between the hotel buildings on different levels.

Albeit questionable legality in getting that footage, some interesting insights.
- Behind the offices and hotel Tower 5 the 2 Zeppelins and their respective gondolas/undercarriages are still stored and worked on. The frame of the Zeppelin bodies were painted a light blue recently.
- Bottom right in the middle of the helix this unknown theming element - possible hot air balloon?
- Also the deep coal pits under parts of the area have been filled in now,
- A lot of the extensive theming structures around the first launch through the centre of the area as shown in the model unveiled last April are still not yet in place (pre-fabricated structures though so can be installed quickly enough) - should help fill up and change the look of this part of the area a lot.
- The other guests foot bridge under the end of the first launch (serving as the other link between the two sides/halves of public space in Rookburgh) is also missing at the moment.
- With the Binoculars advert being added to the roof of the restaurant, I wonder if we will see more of the those detailed Rookburgh adverts from the Rookburgh Gazette appear around the area and along its streets.
Certainly all seems to be well on track for summer should this old virus stuff not get in the way... ?
Break down of the hotel. Behind the steel entrance portal from the street you can see the gangway guests will walk out onto giving them a direct view of the hotel and F.L.Y. going past. They'll then follow this left to the presumed lobby area underneath Tower 3. The hotel rooms are then all spilt out amongst the 5 tower blocks, all interconnected by various covered bridges. Bar 1919 was described as underneath the hotel and beside the restaurant in the Gazette so is presumably in part of the space under Towers 1 + 2. Restaurant Uhrwerk is, as known, the two storey building that connects the hotel and area. Those windows along the front should offer some great views over the coal pits and of F.L.Y., especially the track that dives down under Tower 2.

The funniest part about your joke is the repetitiveness
But that aside...Looking great
Finally the layout of the area becomes a bit more clear. (Seeing the main plaza and the pathways connect) Waiting for the bookings to open.

Phantasialand has act quickly. The video has already been removed. As if no screenshots have been made.

^ some screen shots are a few posts earlier in this thread.
Mh no second attraction (at least not yet) and half of the area not used or used for a hotel. Could be better. I am also wondering about this Tschoo-Tschoo-Train. Wasn't that supposed to be a cannon? Interesting is that round area on the right with stairs going down. Maybe something is hidden there? I
There isn't a second attraction and it's a very impressive use of space when you consider the actual footprint of the area.

Having replaced a simulator ride and some event hire tents with an area like this: featuring the world's longest flyer, a 106 room hotel, a bar, a restaurant, grilled sandwich outlet and a Chocolate & Candy Shop with a viewing/demonstration workshop - is quite impressive not sure what could be better done with the limited space. Any kind of substantial 2nd attraction would be impossible to fit in. Some small token flat ride? Maybe but presumably they must have considered and had reasons for ruling something like that out.
Now its still in total speculation territory but there's the potential that a new kids flat ride will be added on the new circular platform at Wuze Wall; once they stop using it for Rookburgh advertising.
Power connection in the middle of the circle, supposedly another connection point in the soil at the side (control panel?), ramp - queue, exit steps? Or they just fancied an extra outdoor seating area but raised and some nice lights will be wired up. Who knows. Suppose we'll find out this year, or maybe 2021 as a small addition.
Either way if so that'd be a 2nd attraction only possible through the Rookburgh development, albeit adding to the neighbouring Wuze Tal area.
Also an update on park security after yesterday's leak -
(just to point out this is a joke - felt it was necessary to say since sometimes jokes F.L.Y. over people's heads in this thread...)
EDIT: I've also heard from a friend near the park that F.L.Y. ran tests today. Vekoma have seemingly not yet packed up and gone home.?
From PhantaFriends.de someone saw them remove one of the hotel footbridges and take it away on the back of a lorry. Must have been an issue that can't be resolved onsite.

Walls are so last year (..and the year before that too). Its all about rust updates now. You want more rust? You got it!
From Duron on Phantafriends.de some pictures of the work to make the exterior of the administration offices match the hotel entrance portal.
Interesting gap left there potentially for a disabled access entrance?
Also just for some variety some curvy Vekoma between the hotel blocks.

This sentence structure offends me.
God I really hope they don't just paint all of that rusty coloured and leave it. I'm praying for some more of that lovely brickwork, although it's not looking likely.

It's a bit of a rust overload at the moment, I hope they plan to tone it down!
