Wözl's Wassertreter stays closed during Wintertraum 2022
During Wintertraum 2022, Wözl's Wassertreter remained closed while Phantasialand aimed to keep almost all other rides open when weather allowed. The pedal boats were one of the main exceptions alongside River Quest.
More context
In late November 2022, Looopings reported that Phantasialand had raised its winter ticket prices, but the same update also clarified what guests could expect from the ride line-up during Wintertraum. The winter season had just started and was scheduled to continue until the end of January. Phantasialand planned to keep almost every attraction open whenever weather conditions allowed.
Wözl's Wassertreter was named as a clear exception. The pedal boats on the Mondsee stayed closed, together with the River Quest rapids ride. That fits the nature of the attraction: it relies on outdoor operation, water and a calm boating experience, all of which are less natural fits for a winter event than dark rides, indoor rides or covered family attractions.
For guests, the detail was mainly practical. A Wintertraum visit still offered light shows, Christmas scenery and a broad ride programme, but not a ride on these pedal boats. In the attraction's history, the report underlines its seasonal role within Fantasy: Wözl's Wassertreter belongs to the open, summery atmosphere around the Mondsee and moves into the background when Phantasialand switches to its winter programme.
