- I'd like to diversify the parks I cover on the channel and taking a look at Phantasialand is a great first step. A lot of people might be surprised to find out how incredible this park is.

To post a correction, I mixed up kilometers with meters... like an idiot.
Phantasialand feels like an indie movie for theme parks. It's not nearly as grandiose or well known like Disney or Universal, but it manages to be just as good if not better than some of their parks.
That Charles Lindbergh hotel looks so much better than Galactic Starcruiser. And I know I'm comparing apples to oranges, but a little effort (and way less hubris) makes all the difference.
Phantasialand looks like a park someone would make in Planet Coaster. Thats how high of a bar the park has made.
As a guy who's spent time in both theme park and roller coaster enthusiast communities, I've always been frustrated with how rarely theme park fans even consider the idea of non-Disney / Universal parks. Weirdly it's the adrenaline junkies who get more into these well-themed overseas parks like Europa, Phantasialand, Efteling, etc...
Love Phantasialand. I have said for a long time that pound-for-pound it's better than Europa Park (which has traditionally been the park to receive all the plaudits). I think Europa is incredible in terms of scale (it's probably a three day park now), but the detail and storytelling at Phantasialand is just next level - compare Chiapas to Poseidon, Taron to Blue Fire etc, and for me it's just unbelievable the quality of attraction Phantasialand is churning out. It's genuinely Disney-quality theming with no luxury of IPs to fall back on
I lived close to Phantasialand for a few years and unfortunately if you don't like rollercoasters, there is not much to do there. There are removing all the old nice dark rides and replace them with more rollercoasters. The theming is incredible, but I'm quite obvious not the target audience anymore.
For a person who's never heard of Phantasialand, the theming looks amazing and the fact that they fitted in their version of NEARLY the ENTIRE DCA into Berlin in it of itself is mindblowing
Phantasialands theming is all about immersion, making you feel you are in a different world, storytelling was never the main objective (where they differ from efteling) but they do something intresting with lore and storytelling. Its not obvious like disney, universal and efteling, it more 'you will learn the story if you observe' they like to hide story in details
Having been to Disney in Florida and Phantasialand, I have to say I prefer Phantasialand. It seems less corporate and has far, far more character.

gonna throw a few things out there that might give some context:
Phantasialand is by far the best theme park I’ve ever been to. Their theming and attention to detail is mindblowing. Yes there are a few dead spots but i think in a decade or so these will be transformed as well.
As someone who has recently gone on a quarantine-induced rabbit hole of disney theme park videos (despite never having been to any disney parks or others of its kind), these kinds of videos are fascinating and extremely useful for introducing these beautiful parks to people who would never have known about them otherwise. Even the "blandest" experiences here look so charming and memorable!
YES! I'd love to see more non-Disney/Universal parks!! I've been looking for footage of Phantasialand but I haven't been successful, so thank you for pulling all of this footage together (and crediting the original channels so I can do more research)
This is not only my homepark which I visit very often, but I also worked there. I saw them build Klugheim and Rookburgh over the years.
I worked for a Disney fan website as a staff writer and had a whole article about Europa park and how it was basically a giant World Showcase with great attractions. I was literally told not to bother with non- Disney theme parks even though they wrote about international parks and universal news all the time. Glad to see creative foreign parks get attention.
fly does have a sort of story! it's showed in the queue, it adds a narrative of getting try out modern amazing flying machines :) the videos shown both tell a story and explain how the seats work, i personally loved that
Phantasialand is inspirational. They went and took a tiny plot of land and, through dedication, passion, and imagination, managed to make a statement that caught the eyes of the world. They took a quality-over-quantity approach, with a quality that can even match that of Disney and Universal's best efforts. They've got a lot of good ahead of them. As long as they keep expanding - continuing to purge some of the older, inferior attractions to build new exceptional experiences, they could easily cement themselves as a worthy rival to the big corporate ones.
Fun Fact: Phantasialand is very close to a residential area requiring them to keep noise levels down and having no chance to really expand. This resulted in lots of indoor attractions and partially enclosed coasters. E.g. the freefall tower is at the edge of the park and enclosed in an iconic "medieval" tower
