Phantasialand: General Discussion

Normally once the winter season ends and park closes. If I remember when I went in August 2023 tickets were released at the end of Jan. Also I waited I think until tickets where available to book the hotel as I am sure at the time you couldn’t buy multi day tickets separately and could only get the two day ticket with a hotel booking, which was cheaper than buying two separate day tickets. Not sure if that’s still the case.

I'm visiting Phantasialand for the winter event soon. I'm taking a friend who hasn't been to the park and we're both really excited. I had a few specific questions I was hoping you'd be able to help with me.

  1. Is there a preferred taxi company to book in advance for getting from Cologne Airport to the park? Or will we be alright using Uber on a Friday morning?
  2. Do you still need to book a time for breakfast and dinner if you're staying at Charles Lindbergh? If so, what times to people recommend if we want to make the most of the day during Wintertraum? I'm guessing 9am for breakfast and 8.30pm for dinner so we can see the end of day show and then head back to the hotel.

Thank you!

I was fine using an Uber getting too and from Colgone airport in November. Cost about €45 each way.

I've only been once, but they asked what time we wanted breakfast and the evening meal at check in. If I recall we did 8:30am each day for breakfast, and 7pm for dinner. But this was just before Wintertraum when ride close was 6pm, but it gave us plenty of time to get some last rides in and get freshened up back at the room.
 
Wintertraum can get really busy but beware the queue time info - yesterday we saw the Black Mamba queue stating 50min when it was just 5 and 35 when it looked to be around 60. Similarly Colorado said 30 when it was snaking all the way back to the Silverado theatre entrance and 60 when it was less than half that length.

Charles Lindbergh guests cannot get out of Rookburgh until 11, likewise guests using the main park entrance cannot get into Rookburgh. This caused awkward overcrowding issues when the gates finally opened. Guests using either the Rookburgh or the main entrance at a huge disadvantage if trying to do Taron early as anyone arriving by car will be coming from the other side of the park with a huge headstart.
