Phantasialand faces an unexpected challenge: The popular water ride Chiapas remains closed due to maintenance work. Visitors to the Mexican-themed area will have to forego this adventure for now.
Problems with Chiapas Result in Operational Halt
Since the start of the new season, the water attraction Chiapas at Phantasialand could only entertain visitors for a few days before it had to be unexpectedly shut down. The reason for this is extensive maintenance work, which was announced on the amusement park's official website. The operation of the boats has been suspended for more than a week.
Uncertain Reopening
Currently, it is unclear when the water ride will be made accessible to visitors again. The park management asks for understanding and patience while the necessary measures are being carried out.
The Uniqueness of Chiapas
Chiapas stands out significantly from conventional water rides. Since its opening in 2014, the attraction has enjoyed great popularity, not least because of its innovative technology and the steepest descent of any water ride in the world. The uniqueness lies in the advanced design of the transport system and the extraordinary inclination of 53 degrees during the descent. These aspects contribute to an incomparable riding experience.
Construction Work at the Exit of Chiapas
In addition to the maintenance work on the water ride itself, the exit area of Chiapas is currently being redesigned. A new thematic boundary is being created, separating the Mexican-themed area from Klugheim, a medieval village within the Mystery theme world. These construction efforts aim to further improve the overall appearance of the park and ensure a clear thematic separation between different areas.
Conclusion
The unexpected closure of Chiapas in Phantasialand poses a challenge for both the park and its visitors. The unique features of the water ride and the construction work at the exit area demonstrate the park's commitment to providing a high-quality experience. Visitors can look forward to how the attraction will present itself after the completion of the works.
