I know what Steampunk is and there are many shades of it. It's a fab theme when done right (Disney seem to do it well).Sorry, but it is Steampunk! It is a rather dark theme! It is not like Fantasy, where everything is fine, cozy and happy. That is not how steampunk work!
From the ground perspective, the size of those walls is going to be the most striking thing.
Unfortunately niklas, this isn't steampunk. It feels more like dieselpunk to me, and even in that theme I think it looks messy and cheap.Sorry, but it is Steampunk! It is a rather dark theme! It is not like Fantasy, where everything is fine, cozy and happy. That is not how steampunk work!

It hardly looks “messy and cheap”. 4 years of work has gone into this project and millions of euros of investment, and you haven’t even been in the area yet so you don’t actually know what it looks like from the inside.
Phantasialand have years worth of experience, every other project is top quality, there is no reason this would be any different. They know what theme they are targeting, and I’m confident this is going to be a brilliant experience once the area is opened.
Just what you said. NOBODY of us was there and get the feelings Phantasialand want us too feel. I'm super excited about this whole project. FLY will be one of the best coasters of the year(on that year it opens )
Neither have you, yet you (and many others) keep defending it and calling it world class. It might look awesome compared to Six Flags standards, but Rookburghs details are currently way below the standards Phantasialand has set in the past 10 years for itself. You have tall, mostly just painted walls on the outside, that's it. Compare this to Klugheim or Chiapas which feature lots of details on the walls to make them look less bland. Sure, Rockwork is easier for a vibrant look, but buildings can also feature plenty of details. Rookburgh lacks these for the most part and it does not look like Phantasialand is going to change it. Just look at the rusty wall on the outside. The inside looks better, but better does not mean good. And the amount of money spend is not neccessary related to the quality of the work. Universal Rocks isn't cheap, but if you tell them to build a bland wall, they are going to do it.It hardly looks “messy and cheap”. 4 years of work has gone into this project and millions of euros of investment, and you haven’t even been in the area yet so you don’t actually know what it looks like from the inside.
