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.

[@casperthegm741]

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.

[@nessiebarton6519]

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.

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!

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". 😁

[@GenixYT]

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!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It certainly is a fantastic park and I’m glad that you enjoyed it!

[@mstrmren]

What was cheesy about the logo? I think it's the most creative and most beautiful theme park logo I have ever seen.

[@myles8328]

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

Since then I have been watching all your old vlogs on the park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time!

[@N0rthernMonkey]

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!
