This magnificent theme park is the home of various different world class rides and roller coasters such as Taron, F.L.Y. and Chiapas. Throughout this video I'll cover the key points of planning a trip to this theme park, such as transportation, accommodation, theme park tickets and top tips!

Travel? Now that’s a word I haven’t heard for a long, long time
Let’s hope the situation improves in the coming months!
Me to i havent heard thatvwprk for a long time
Obi wans wise words
Star wars🤣
Another great thing to know: Brühl Mitte is only served by the cologne metro. So you need to go to another entrance to find the plattform (Follow the Blue signs with the letter „U“ on them, take the escalator and you can find ticket machines for the metro aswell as a service center) You can generally take all trains with the number 18 heading to Bonn Hauptbahnhof, Bornheim and Schwandorf. Trains in direction of Thielenbruch or Buchheim are the wrong direction.
That's really helpful- thank you. We'll be arriving in Cologne and I was trying to figure out after we grab dinner, how exactly to proceed from there to Bruhl Mitte. Via Google maps I'd kind of figured it was the 18 train, but this confirmation is a big relief. Now I just to make sure we get one headed in the proper direction.
This is a great series, can’t wait for the rest I think this will make it much easier for those of us who want to get out to Europe and beyond to try some amazing rides.
Hopefully it helps people out as much as possible!
I really really want to go to this park! Maybe I’ll go this year! Once again, an epically thought out and in-depth video Shawn!
Hopefully this video will help you out with planning your future trip!
Thank you so much Shawn. I think lots of people needed this video. Not just to help us plan trips but to also fill us with hope that these trips will be possible sooner rather than later and give us something to look forward to in such dark times 🌈🌈🌈
Hopefully it’ll help people out! Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love this park! It’s so frigging good!
It’s epic!
wieder super video von meinem lieblingspark phantasialand !
ich freu mich jedes mal drauf !
Thank you for making this video! Ever since seeing your video review of fly and that new area I’ve been wanting to plan a trip to phantasialand and now you’ve helped make it super easy! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
Thank you!
Very helpful and informative video, thanks!! Really hope I manage to get out there this year🤞🏽
Thanks Adam. Fingers crossed!
Nice to see these travel guides return, I remember using your Europa Park travel vlog a few years back and pretty much copied the exact route you took. Also used your 'How to travel to some of the best theme parks in Europe' video quite a few times, very useful info!
That’s great to hear!
I've been looking forward to this!❤😀
Hopefully these really help people plan trips!
This is excellent! Was wanting to visit this year, this is just what I needed. Thank you 👍
Thank you. That’s great to hear!
Tysm for this ❤ this helped me so much for my stay there
Fantastic video, I’m hoping to go here next year, and I can’t wait!
This series is exactly what I needed! I’ve seen so many great parks in your vlogs that I’d love to visit one day, and once we can travel again I’ll be using your tips to plan some trips. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Great idea and I look forward to watching this series. Awesome content as always. :))))
Thank you!
What a fantastic series this is Shawn! Even though I live close to the park, I have seen the multiple possibilities of travel! I am already looking forward to the video about Europa-Park! Greetings😀
Thank you very much. I’m hoping this series really helps people get out there and discover more theme parks!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I've always wondered, are these German parks like phantasialand and europapark well known in the UK?
@@Mark_Hafer yup
Great video! I've enjoyed your travel vlogs and found them helpful but have been looking for a detailed look like this at planning trips to various parks. I'd welcome some additional details like rate comparisons between on site hotels vs off site, or it would be helpful to see some of their website when you reference it (if that's allowed). Can't wait to see what parks you do next!
LOVE THIS VIDEO. Phantasialand top of my European bucket list!
Hopefully you get to visit soon!
Thanks Shawn. Clear and relevant information to suit different travel parties. You covered all the essentials. Really good job. This one is definitely on our bucket list.
Looking forward to Europa Park travel guide. Really want to visit but it looks like one of the trickier ones to get to.
Thank you!
Now this is a series I’m excited for! I’m so ready for another travel day. I’d love to hear your perspective on a Tokyo trip and an LA trip as these are high up on my list right now ☺️
Thanks for your suggestions Amy!
This series is a spectacular idea, particularly because we've been planning a 2022 Phantasialand trip! Very helpful information for the inexperienced travellers (like ourselves) 😁
Thank you. Hopefully it’ll help people plan!
Never been here so thank you for telling me all the exciting info if I do get the chance!
Great video and very helpful can’t wait for the next one. Thx again
Thanks Alan
Fantastic new series, Shawn! Can't wait to get here myself (someday).
Thank you!
Love all your vids but this is the best, I want to take my family when we can and the info you given is so much appreciated.
Thank you very much. It’s a fantastic theme park that I definitely recommend!
Great guide! 👏🏻
I worked in Phantasialand in their 1st ever ice show in '96 (I think! It was a long time ago lol). The park has literally exploded since then. Looks nothing like it was then. I did love working there, but it looks incredible now! Definitely need to visit again once things get back to "normal". 😁
That’s absolutely fantastic!
This series of videos are amazing. This summer I’m going to both Phantasialand and Energylandia this summer from the states and these videos are so helpful.
Thank you. That’s great to hear!
Good video. Transportation break down was good. Hotel info was good. Personal experience and recommendations was good. Keep these videos coming! Looking forward to Europa, PortAventura, and more.
Thank you!
Great new video series! Some tips like when riding attractions during the day to avoid crowds would be great as well if you have some advices.
This was really helpful - we really want to get over to the continent at some point and try some of those parks x thanks for sharing - we enjoyed watching xx
That’s great to hear!
That introduction complication is amazing and also FlyBe went bust in March
Thank you! Unfortunately so, I had many flights with them over the years!
I was coming to comment to say Flybe doesn't exist anymore so I don't think I'll be catching flights with them any time soon 😂😂
Thanks dude. Really needed this for 2022
Have a great time!
Now this channel can’t get better! Love this kind of video! Fantastic as always!
Thank you so much!
Your videos are amazing it is literally like a part of my every day life I watch your videos literally every day I love it
Thank you so much!
Great work, lots of information , this will help a lot of people making plans when it's safe to do so again
Hopefully so!
This will help me next year phantasialand is one of my bucket list parks and 3 of my bucket list rollercoasters are there aswell
That sounds great!
What a great concept for a series! You took the guesswork out of a trip. Nice job!
Thank you!
Thank you Shawn 🙂 hopefully going with sister for her birthday and a few mates in the summer (thanks for the cameo as well wishing her a happy birthday). Really useful info 👍
Thank you for your support!
This is my current biggest bucket list park and I'm finally getting the chance to go there in March of next year along a Europe road trip we are going on
Finally getting to some more TPW vlogs after saving them up for a weekend off! And since the German theme parks and Germany as a country are my top European destination at the moment (the history, the castles, the countryside and the people who are lovely) I was really looking forward to this series, Shawn and Charlotte. It was always in my mind to puzzle out how best to do the main parks in a single road trip (which is an adventure in that even at 44 I’ve not driven abroad yet, amazingly!) but the main thing I took from this video was definitely to not rush a location. Köln is a beautiful city by the look of things and you could easily do a cracking autumn or winter trip for 3-4 days just to Phantasialand. A road trip would be great but why rush things?
Also, whilst I am no fan of Ryanair whatsoever (and I know that price is the one redeeming feature of them) the advice about Skyscanner is a great idea. Half the fun is in the planning, right?! I already have a Michelin map for Germany and it has been awesome just poring over the country, realising how huge and varied it is.
And I need at least three nights in Phantasialand as I want to try Matamba and CL. Steampunk is THE best theme!
Great stuff as always S&C. Stay well :) x
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I walked from Brühl to the park back in 2017. Was fun but took about 45 minutes. Deffo recommend getting the shuttle!
Definitely worth getting the shuttle!
This is so useful!! Love the intro. Thanks Shawn
Thank you Immie! Hopefully it helps you plan future trips!
Shaun you really have become the number 1 you tuber, great idea of a series, great vlog as usual, would love to know more about costs of accommodation
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Thanks for this video it’s been a great help. I booked to go to Phantasialand this October. Fingers crossed that things improve with Covid and I get to go. I booked direct to stay at Charles Lindbergh just have to sort out my travel. I actually booked a while back when I watched your tour of the hotel and videos of Fly. Since then I have been watching all your old vlogs on the park.
I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time!
Thank you for doing this vlog and the different options on how to get to the destination. I noticed in the open sequence was the hotel you stayed at in Florida 2019 with Charlottes first trip. I have now started watching them again :-)
Thank you for watching! We had such a fantastic trip!
Thanks for the info in these guides - it was really useful when I went to visit Cologne with my other half a couple of weeks ago (stunning city, especially with the Christmas Markets!) We went to Phantasia Land for the first time and decided to go all-in and stay a night in Hotel Charles Lindbergh - a must-do if the opportunity arises, and not as crazy as expensive as it first seems when you factor in the included park tickets and food!
Wintertraum at Phantasialand was absolutely amazing - they had literally shipped in piles of real snow and had it all around the park - madness. But best of all, everything was not only walk-on, but STAY-ON (except F.L.Y.). The ride ops were great and were allowing people to stay on as long as there wasn't anyone waiting at their gate - we had 3!! rides in a row on Taron without having to re-walk the queue - so good. Every ride on Black Mamba was front row and the "wait" for Taron's front row was 2-3 trains max both days! So so glad we went and your guide was definitely a deciding factor! They have some utterly incredible rides - we just need to go back in the summer for the rapids!
We're planning a trip to Europa Park next year alongside a stay in Basel - again having watched your guide - so thanks again. Looking forward to more! Cheers, and I hope you both have a good Christmas!
We’re glad you had a good time!
YES! More of these!!
More on the way!
The winter event is simply beautiful!
It certainly is!
This is a great video sries idea od you. liked this one a lot and can't wait for the next ones! I hope you will also make some of the UK parks, since I am not from the UK and want to visit them in the future.
Thank you! I will be doing just that in the near future!
thank you for the information i am going to visit phantasland in September i am staying on site i i enjoy your blop Shawn looking forward to getting out there visiting theme parks
That’s great to hear. I’m positive that you’ll have a fantastic time!
Great video. Thank you for all the very useful information. I can’t wait to visit with my wife.
Thank you!
Planning on doing a big road trip in summer in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands so I’m excited to hear some tips about European parks!!
That sounds epic!
These are brilliant. Definitely going to look into a trip to head over there.
Thank you David. Hope they help!
Love this series idea
Thanks!
Brilliant idea for a video, super useful!
Thank you. They’ll be many more on the way!
Once again fantastic idea....ive saved this vid so i can rewatch it when i get lost in koln😂 thanks guys👍
Thank you, hopefully this series helps many people out!
Shawn really is making 2021 his year! You’re going to have a million subscribers in no time! Keep it up love the channel 💕
Thank you so much!
I was lucky enough to go there in 2016. I actually had no idea what was there as I wasn’t updated on theme parks much back then. The logo looked kind of cheesy to me which lowered my expectations but oh my goodness it’s a world class park. Absolutely amazing theming, scenery and use of space for how enclosed the park is. Despite being corned by residential areas, the park still felt like it was miles away from civilisation and as if it was the most open place I had ever been. I would absolutely love to go back so much. Great video Shawn!
It certainly is a fantastic park and I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
What was cheesy about the logo? I think it's the most creative and most beautiful theme park logo I have ever seen.
Great stuff Shawn, hopefully you will do a few more of these, looking forward to taking the kids to a few European parks in the next few years, and these would be a great reference guide. It would be great if you could also do a few top ten guides to the best European parks for different types of visitors- young families (kids age 5-10) families with older kids (11-14), couples etc.
They’ll be more on the way!
I really hope to see more helpful videos like this
Nice Video! I honestly like Phanatasialand, even though I never been there before.
This is super useful. I should be going for the first time this year. Thanks
Have a fantastic time!
Yes. I should be going to walabi Belgium, plopsaland and energylandia too
As soon as we can get back to travelling, this is the first place I want to head to!
It’s an epic park!
Actually Waiting for this.
Hope it helps!
Thank you for some fantastic information 😀😀
Thanks Andrew. Hope this helps!
Nice video! I’m currently brainstorming for a European vacation in 2022 (I live in the US). Very helpful.
More videos like this on the way!
That was a fun watch! Liked the transitions too - reminded me of the Theme Park News Show 🙂
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the first episode in our new series!
Great video Shawn! This kind of information is so useful, especially for first time visitors. One suggestion I would like to make is with regard to public transport, is if you call the trains by their local name such as "S-bahn" or "U-bahn" that would be even more helpful! Love the channel ✌🏻
Thanks for your suggestion!
This is fantastic and great info Shawn. I was hoping to here before lockdown 😥😥 I was just going to drive but the F.L.Y option sounds interesting 🧐 there is a Priemer inn in cologne if anyone wants to use a uk brand hotel that you can book through their normal website. Also include what rides to go to first, what rides get bigger cues and different times of the day ! 👍
Thanks for your suggestions!
My home park!! It’s only about half an hour by car from where I live 😍 I’ve been going there since my childhood (ca 2007) and it’s so cool so see how it evolved
Brilliant work, mate. I'm thinking of a surprise trip there for my bf's birthday. We've just come back from Alton Towers for my birthday 😃
Great idea for videos, very informative!
Thank you!
My special tip if you are hungry try the Tavern a beautiful restaurant in Klughheim and try Schnitzel or Kaiserschmarrn! The beer is aso nice!
Great idea to have exclusive theme park travel guides. Can’t wait for the Europa Park guide, and also Alton Towers (which is confusing to get to for an American).
They’ll be many on the way!
That was great Shawn, thankyou 😊
Thanks!
Thank you, it's my favorite park !!!!!
It’s a fantastic place!
I’ve actually been waiting for this , hoping to go at the end of the year , cheers Shawn!
Thank you, hopefully this helps you out!
Ditto mate!
I can recommend going for the wintertraum event
@@Mark_Hafer is that an event with extra ride time like a Christmas event? I don’t know if queues are as bad as alton towers so would love to know when the best time to go is
@@Grim19931803 Yes, the rides are open longer, and they've got a great nighttime spectacular
This is a fantastic idea for a series!
Hopefully it’ll help many people plan trips in the future!
Great advice video. 👍
Thank you!
I love these videos!! You have helped me and my family to know where to fly and how to get there. These are the biggest questions I have. Coming from the states it's hard to know the logistics. We are looking at Europa-Park and Tivoli. We gave up on Alton towers because we literally could not figure out how we could get there without a car. For me personally I'm not comfortable diving in England.... yet. It's definitely something I want to try, but with training.
Thank you for watching, I really hope these videos will help you plan your trips!
Top video Shawn! Another great way to get there if you can't fly direct to Cologne, is to fly to Dusseldorf. From Dusseldorf you can use the Flixtrain, which is super cheap. Tickets usually start from €4.99 each way and super fast, direct to Cologne station. Here's to what will hopefully be a fantastic 2021 theme park season throughout Europe 😁
I’ve looked into this before, but still never done it! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing content!
Thank you!
I’m already 6 minutes in and I love this video already, it’s very informative!
Maybe do a travel guide for parks in the USA?
It’ll be on the way!
I can’t wait to get back to this park!
It’s a fantastic park with epic theming!
Great video and keep up the good work
Thank you!
Some great travel tips looks an incredible park 🙂👍
It certainly is a fantastic theme park to visit!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide my nearest park is pleasurewood hills do you think theyll add any new additions any time soon ?
Yay i like these travel guides
Thank you. They’ll be more on the way for a variety of different theme parks!
Thank you for this! Hoping to get to Phantasialand from the States once COVID is over and it's safe to travel again!
It’s a fantastic park that I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
Thank you for making this Shawn!! We’ve been trying to plan it but it is confusing from the UK! 🙌🏼
Hopefully this will help you plan!
Hey Shawn, love the video! In the future can you make a video about doing a European theme park road trip? I live in America and eventually want to do that one day! Keep up the great work man, love your positivity!
It’ll definitely be an episode later in this series!
Great video I need to get to this park at some point. Would love to get to some of the other parks in Germany too.
It’s a fantastic country for theme parks!
Very helpful :)
Hello There, great video, very helpful and useful tips. This has ben a very informative video, you can also travel by Eurostar as well via Brussels and Koeln Hbf and then as you say get the shuttle bus to Phantasialnad. Cheers Peter :) p.s. keep it up!
That sounds like a fantastic way and something different!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Hello Shawn, yes, that's definitely the case. Cheers Peter :)
Hey maybe this was mentioned somewhere but as far as best time to visit is concerned; DEFINETLY IN WINTER!!!
They have a awesome winter special in December, its really awesome how they decorate everything and there are literally like 0 crowds. I was there on sunday-monday and paid 180 euros for 2 persons for a stay on site at Matamba, breakfast and park entrace for 2 days (!) - the biggest wait we had was at Taron for like 10 minutes, for almost all other attractions it was a straight walk-on; its a far better experience as you don't feel rushed to go stand in the next line and can actually take your time to drink a coffee or something and feel the atmosphere of the park
Yes, its cold, but if you are dressed appropriately its not a problem even on Taron. Oh, and if you are lucky enough to see snow, it really makes the place look even prettier
The winter event is absolutely epic!
Great video :)
You're doing a bang-up job of making content in this era. Give my love to Charlotte. 💗🕯️
Thank you so much! Charlotte is well and can’t wait to be back in the theme parks!
1 day they will be a couple it's only taken him 7yrs
I’ve been there before☺️ it’s the coolest park I’ve ever been in!
It’s a fantastic park!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide yea it is!
Very nice video! Helps you a lot! Europa park is the #1 park on my list rn so maybe do this one next? ;)
It’ll be the next episode in the series!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide thank you! Looking forward to that
3:00 flybe went bust mate :( Keep up the great content though! Love this new series with travel advice !
Unfortunately so! Had many flights with them over the years!
