EuroTre Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 In 1938, a German immigrant named Rolph Zimmern began his life's dream by opening up his rollercoaster park on the shores of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Named "Park auf der Bucht", the amusement park was situated almost directly in the heart of the German settlement. Zimmern expected that his park would not only cater to both his comrades in the settlement, but also the other residents of Green Bay. Unfortunately, less than one year after the park opened, World War II broke out in Europe. Because of Germany's involvement in the Triple Axis, many non-German residents of Green Bay completely shunned the park. While several of Zimmern's friends tried to help him out by visiting frequently, Park auf der Bucht suffered throughout the World War. Sometimes the park would go days without having a customer. Even after World War II ended, Green Bay residents continued to completely ignore the park. In wasn't until 1946, over 4 years after World War II, that the park suddenly flourished. The short but intense rise of Park auf der Bucht began with the visit of a large group of teenagers. They got in trouble with their parents for visiting, but soon several families were visiting the park to see what it was like and gave it rave reviews. Over the next decade the park became a real powerhouse that didn't stop until Zimmern sold the park to a group of developers. This is the Alpenblitz, one of the more exciting rollercoasters in the Midwest. The ride was a deranged and airtime filled course that thrilled riders from 1938 all the way until 1950. Wow, did I type all that? Alpenblitz.nltrack Enjoy. Alpenblitz.wmv For those without No Limits. In final, a lift hill shot. Umm, can anyone see the end? Out towards the lift. Hidding in there is a ton of airtime. There was an estimated 13 moments of airtime. One of many slow days. Although you can't see much of it, there was plenty of twisted and crazy track. OMG! Here's a new one. Alpenblitz... THROUGH THE FOG! The train, waiting for someone to come and visit. The curved station which was empty more than it was crowded. Park auf der Bucht was known for it's massive amounts of fog. Seeing any track on some days was impossible.
Steffen_Dk Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 One word: WOW Amazing coaster. Lots of airtime, funny turns, and, and.... Yeah this was just fantastic! EDIT: I forgot to say - bad colour, brown would be better.
Théo the little french Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Great ride! Very funny, intense, whith lots of air time and changes of direction. However, you shuld use the smoother for some turns, some spots are a bit rough...
trustkill22 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Not bad at all. Very quick and up-tempo. Just thought I would let you know too that the station roof goes into the track. But other than that very good.
EuroTre Posted January 6, 2008 Author Posted January 6, 2008 Oh yeah, I did notice that. It was just a little though, so I didn't really pay too much mind to it.
Team Thriller Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 That coaster is amazing. Problem is, if it was real. The park would put trims on it. Seriously though, this is one of the best wooden coasters in No Limits I've seen. Good Job! --James
socalMAN123 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Watched the video, and WOW, I was impressed. Looks very good, lots of airtime. Good job! ---Brent

I didn't think it was anything too outstanding, but I am very pleased to hear that you guys think it's great. Keep the compliments/criticism coming!
dr.gumbo Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Not trying being mean here or anything but I don't think its THAT amazing, yes its good but it did have a few pumps here and there and it is'nt the best layout I've ever seen. However it is fast and does has a lot of airtime!
Steffen_Dk Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 ^The air time is also the thing which is making this coaster so awesome
Pufferfish Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 That's a pretty good coaster. Good speed and nice airtime, there's just one thing I see that has already been pointed out and that's some of the transitions in turns are a little rough, and some of the turns might be taken a little too fast, but otherwise, great coaster and thanks for the video.
coastercrazed49 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Wow great ride, and thanks for putting up a video for people like me who don't have No Limits.
