“Chiapas – DIE Wasserbahn” in Phantasialand: Extended Winter Break – What Awaits Visitors?

In Phantasialand an unexpected announcement has created a stir: The popular water ride “Chiapas – DIE Wasserbahn” will remain closed for the rest of the winter. This decision, taken without prior notice, marks a significant change for the amusement park, which is known for operating its attractions during the cooler months.

A Winter-Proof Attraction Takes a Break

“Chiapas – DIE Wasserbahn”, renowned for its impressive journey through a recreated Mexican landscape, has been a highlight for visitors who come to Phantasialand during the winter months. The ride, considered winter-proof, offered a rare chance to enjoy a water ride in colder weather. Therefore, the sudden closure raises questions and changes the winter experience in the park.

Reasons for the Closure

A notice on the official Phantasialand website provides insight into the closure: “Please note: The expedition through the adventurous Mexico is currently paused! Due to maintenance work, Chiapas – THE Water Ride is closed until the end of the Winter Dream. Thank you for your understanding.” This announcement suggests that the closure is necessary to maintain the attraction's quality and safety. However, the exact circumstances and extent of the maintenance work remain unclear.

Impact on the Winter Dream

The Winter Dream at Phantasialand, which lasts until January 28, is affected by the closure of one of its main attractions. Visitors who specifically wanted to experience “Chiapas – DIE Wasserbahn” may be disappointed. The question arises as to how the park will fill this gap and maintain the visitor experience.

Preparations for the Summer Season

Despite the temporary closure, there is positive news for the future. Phantasialand plans to reopen “Chiapas – DIE Wasserbahn” at the start of the new summer season. Additionally, the opening of a new attraction, the Avoras play area, is anticipated. This expansion, which should have been completed earlier, promises to be an exciting addition to the park's offerings.

The unexpected closure of “Chiapas – DIE Wasserbahn” poses a challenge for Phantasialand, but there is anticipation for the reopening and new attractions waiting for visitors in the coming season. While the maintenance work ensures the quality and safety of the attraction, guests can look forward to a renewed and improved experience when the park reopens its doors in the spring.
