I have made it to Oktoberfest this year . My friend mike is meeting me tomorrow to start an achterbahn und bier trip. i started a week earlier and went to the drinktec convention and we will spend some time in munich before heading out to freiburg for europa park, mannheim for holiday park, home of expedition geforce, stuttgart for tripsdrill and the cannstatter wasen fest before returning to munich to finish off. I saw part of the opening parade lots of horse drawn bierwagons and brass bands. I have confirmed that olympia looping is still one of the most awesome things on the planet i got on the third train and it was great You must stay hydrated and the paulaner hefeweizen booth nearby offers a nice view. alpina bahn was running well too. It is my first time trying the new trains. I got a middle seat for some mild airtime. There are no headrests and at the bottom of the first drop there is a janky little curve that will keep chiropractors in business. Anybody else here, feel free to reach out. It is hot today at 30C but an awesome time. Maybe some night rides would be good. i was last here in 2014 and rode olympia looping 15 times. My goal itls to do 20 this year. Tickets are 14 euro bit still less than the airfare and more legroom than lufthansa.

And last, but not least.......

I was there on a Saturday night during a concert many years ago and they actually ended up keeping the stuff close to the center of the park open at least an extra hour. Fahrenheit, Storm Runner, Skyrush, etc were all walk ons because they didn't really tell anyone they were staying open late. Most of the lot had cleared out by the time they finally closed. Last year I went on a concert day to use my preview night and it took almost 2 hours to get to Troegs from the highway. That was miserable.

I had no idea Six Flags purchased this park, too.

It would depend how Six flags allocates it's budgets. Rides are a capital expense. Known as capex. I imagine that when they create their budgets for the next fiscal year, they do take park management requests into consideration. It would be silly not to, otherwise why else would you have a park manager if not to advocate for the park?

So last post about the food on legacy SF memberships until I simply try it out sometime next year and see if it works. I was as an ACE event at SFSTL and asked management at the lunch. One person flat out told me he had no idea if it was carrying over or not. The other (a very long time employee of the park) simply repeated the "all pass add ons" will be usable at all parks. Problem being this isn't an add on. It was included as part of the membership upon purchase of the membership. I know for a fact not everyone with a membership has the same food offerings, it depended on when you bought it, so.............that's where I think the confusion is. I really don't think they know and it will be a matter of just waiting to see if it is accepted or not.

Someone who was on the ride with him said in an interview it looked like his leg was also broken and there was a large piece of metal hanging from his seat
