Hey! I'm also visiting for the first time next month from Tues 11th Oct- 13th Oct so will let you know how busy it is. I'm hoping it should be relatively calm, can't wait to finally get on Taron et all. Third time lucky with this trip so hope it all goes well.

I doubt it's an exact science by any stretch but better than randoms on the internet guessing 😅

We didn’t have too many “irregularities and irritations” during our visit.
When we booked Hotel Charles Lindbergh we sent them a message with regards to the bank transfer and they replied with a link allowing us to pay via credit card.
The lack being allowed to re-ride was an annoyance. We asked on Black Mamba and the staff made us “pretend” we were leaving the station as the last guests before letting us back on so no-one else saw.
Fly allowed me to ride wearing glasses with a strap without any issues which was a positive.
The ride does though given Zadra a run for its money for the longest queue line going. 1.5km I was told by an employee. I was tempted to jump the barrier at the bottom of the hotel guest entrance.
Presuming the portocabin toilets on the right walking towards Wuze Town are a temporary measure? The only lack of theming I encountered in the whole park.
The Wakabato boat ride in this area was also pretty pointless with no water effects working. That area feels a bit lost and on it’s own (a bit like the top level of Wuze Town)
The whole China Town area is also pretty pointless with no stand out attraction and two rides that equate to 30 mins of my life I will never get back.

It is for the reason that, despite many visits to Phantasialand, I don’t think I have ever been when Wakabato has been open.

It was around January this year I think, so would expect similar for next year once they've confirmed the inevitable price increase. Worth noting it is possible to get cheaper tickets on occasion unlike Europa-Park. Keep an eye out on the European versions of HotUkDeals next year, Pepper NL and MyDealz in Germany. This year I ended up getting my tickets through a Dutch auction site Vakantie Veilingen at about €10 per person less than the website price. So worth shopping about, even if translating etc can be a bit of a hassle
