captain Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Oktoberfest 2007 is now 5 days "old" and we`ve had a great starting weekend with more than 1 million visitors, just this first weekend. Now I`ve some minutes to share some of the great photos from these years Oktoberfest here in munich. After last years great fun with Derek and his whole gang, we highly recommend every themeparkreview fan to visit us in 2008! you know this one! that`s the Bavaria and you`ll get a big smile! give a heart to the one you like You see some nice Dirndls here - a Dirndl is a dress for a woman - it`s also a nickname for a cute girl even on a crowded sunny day, you`ll have to get some beer! on a sunny weekend day it is always crowded this is a real important vending machine if you`re totally drunken - you can get: plaster, handkerchief, shower gel, toothbrush, alcotest, pregnancy test, drug test, pills against some illness, condoms and many more that`s the "Münchner Kindl" - translated "munich`s kid" On the first sunday there`s the biggest traditional costume parade worldwide - more than 9500 attendants and an audience bigger than 250.000 people 9 AM - queuing for the last possible seats Welcome St.Pauls cathedral in the background a great sunny day offers a backview of the big tents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 and we go on with our virtual trip... Eurostar - the largest transportable Inverter one of the countless flat rides Toboggan - this slide has a long,long tradtition - and it`s funny to see the people using the very fast conveyor band to get to the top - and guess what happens if the people are drunk? Yes, you`re right! another great ghost ride by the way: it`s called "Hoellenblitz" - translated: "Hell`s lightning" but way too expensive - about 8 dollar for a ride great fun with fire and water effects inside - and a lot of spinning the biggest transportable indoor coaster worldwide signature ride tradition a great walk-through house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAShawn Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 That looks amazing. Great report I would love to go one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Last part... thanks for reading this report - maybe see some of you next year! 9 from 10 after 5 liter of beer!!! (that`s about 1,25 gallon of beer) after a fun filled night at the 10.000 people tent, it is time for some outdoor fun (if you can stand it after the beers) and he tried to mess with the natives Josh from Texas is our gentleman with the rose can you guess why I love Dirndl? ...or you`ll drop your pants! ...you need some pills for your headache... another tip - dont`t drink too fast - otherwise... it can get very loud here this is the most famous dish - a half chicken (here it is more a quarter chicken) you get great food, the best beer, mind blowing atmosphere and of cause great girls but the best Oktoberfest thing is to have a great night at one of the big tents... normally you eat a lot of chicken - but can have something completely different my tip: don`t wear it if you`re not from here Fire and Ice - a little powered coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baclueless Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 About Hollenblitz being way too expensive... But its wayyyyyy worth every dollar in my opinion. I believe that we rode it around 5 or 6 times this summer in Duren. I hope you at least rode it once! Great Pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krouvi Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Great report. I just cant understand how people can drink so much beers, eat so much and then riding all these really intense spin rides you've got there. The ladies look so nice with these traditional "push ups" ... lol. And now I am going to get myslef some beer ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgwfreak Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I also would love to go at some point. Although I'd be the only sober person there as I don't drink. *drools* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 That looks like alot of fun. Shame I could not get my pass port till November or I could have went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slither37 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Heaven on earth? Beer, more beer, very attractive German ladies and coasters and rides. Not sure I can think of a more perfect place. I wonder how many people get on the rides after drinking and experience a reverse gastronomical event? Not sure how much this translates to, but menus at some of the big tents show 1 liter of beer at 7.5 Euros. Not sure I could afford to drink a lot, oh hell, who am I kidding, what is another mortgage on the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I also would love to go at some point. Although I'd be the only sober person there as I don't drink. Me too, and you wouldn't be the only sober one, I don't drink either. Add to my to do list for my goals in life. Get to this festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I think I would have the most fun doing the coasters (outdoors and in) and all those great-looking dark rides and walk-through funhouses. Then of course, there IS the beer, heh heh. Thanks for sharing another great Oktoberfest in Munich! Hope you didn't get too sick or ill from all that beer, and Dirndls, LOL!

sixflagsguy5 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Do most people count the coasters at octoberfest on their coaster count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Oh sure, go when the weather is nice, I see how it is Looks like even more fun when the weather cooperates, and I miss it so much already. But fear not, BACT will return in a few years to this amazing festival for more than 1 day. And next time I'll bring 2 livers and a full stomach to start! Hope to see you in a few weeks, Andy!

captain Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Ya, money is definitely a big issue - because it`s not the cheapest thing on earth to have a great day at the Oktoberfest. Hotel prices are steep - if you want to do a lot of rides you`ve to spend a lot of money (prices are between 5 to 8 dollars each) - and of course the beer prices are at the moment 7,90 Euro ( that`s 11 US dollars per litre). Buuuut: You also can have fun just walking the streets, enjoying the atmosphere, watching people and just buy some food at some food stalls. That`s really inexpensive. If you want to see more hammered people I`ll try to locate some people in the next days - but normally I`ll try to avoid these kind of people . And by the way - you also don`t have to drink any beer to have great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
